I"m seeing a lot of people taking the 'Back in MY day...' approach to this topic. I think in this case there's more at play: School aged children have just gone through a once-in-a-100-year pandemic that absolutely _wrecked_ social lives and completely upended the schooling system. That, and there's growing evidence of neurologic impact from tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease that have _doubled_ in the last 20 years. We're still also figuring out what impact pervasive social media is having on kids. To be clear, none of these are the fault of the children. Each one is outside of their control. Blaming them is doing them a disservice and deflecting the responsibility of the remainder of civilization to provide them a world in which they can flourish.
