Concentration times is much less than it was 25 years ago. We have banned kids having phones and not only is this better for learning it has also massively impacted the amount of social media based shite we are dealing with. The thing is, social media has impacted parents too, they see something online, believe it to be true and argue. My lads dissertation on the impact of Social Media and ego depletion captures it perfectly. Bombarded with small snappy messages that are, in the main, wrong and dangerous.

Kids are kids and always will be, the big problem is parents who think their kids can do no wrong and will constantly undermine everything a school tries to do and demand things that are just not possible nor plausible.
