How about instead of ragging on kids these days we see that there is a very serious problem brewing, regarding how we're expecting to maintain this high tech society we've built going forwards. I would posit that it was the planning done by generations prior that have left society in a state where youth are not gaining skills that will be needed simply to maintain the status quo, let alone improve anything.
Congratulations. You've reached the point.
As far as I'm aware millennials are only just now gaining the power to affect kids education on a broad scale. And even then it's still mostly in the hands of Gen x and boomers on school boards and various state and federal offices.
This problem is vastly greater than anything a school board could meaningfully impact alone.
