The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.
We should make kids sleep at school during the school year with no access to phones or the internet.
We should do the same with you, at your work then, just so you can see how dumb that would be. But only you.
Surely you can understand that person was being facetious? Are people this clueless?
Some people genuinely believe these things, and it’s not a small number. There’s an entire horrific industry around it.
There is not a large number of people who think children should be made to spend 100% of the time at school, including being made to sleep there. People are interpreting that person’s obvious sarcasm seriously so they can be upset about i t. Not necessarily intentionally, they may just be dense. But that’s what they’re doing.
Look up the ‘troubled teen’ industry. You will be shocked an appalled.
No, I won’t, because that has nothing to do with what the person was saying.
