In some news that goes to show that Gen Alpha really are the unluckiest generation to date, studies are now suggesting that kids in school are not only underperforming in NAPLAN but also showing less signs of creativity, as the education system moves away from hybrid learning and into digital.
With pen and paper becoming a thing of the past, students who don’t wish to pay attention in class are no longer biding their time by doodling in their textbooks, but browsing the web instead – which means they’re also missing out on the golden age of crude bootleg textbook art.
According to veteran teacher Leslie Staple, not only are students these days absorbing less information but they’re also not learning to draw penises properly – and that’s a huge problem!
“If you asked me ten years ago if I’d ever miss seeing a penis drawing on a school desk, I’d have laughed in your face”, says Leslie, “but at least students were still somewhat engaged in the lesson.”
“And some of those drawings were really good.”
More to come.
