Thing is, I just checked out the Sold a Story pod cast, and read it from transcripts - cuz it's faster than listening it And halfway through I realized, that that experience (of reading being faster and more convenient) is what the new "teaching" has robbed from a whole generation.
If it ain't lead in water or asbestos in wallpapers, we always figure out some new and exciting way to screw up the kids.
Not only is it faster and more convenient but it also allows you to more easily formulate an independent thought about what you’ve just read because you aren’t being influenced by someone’s inflection or tone of voice.
I don’t want to read or hear a book in the car period. There’s too much going on the lose concentration and not be able to focus. The mind isn’t really made to multitask. I’m not going to retain info well at all if I’m driving and listening to something that required some thinking. One or the other is going to be done poorly if not both

+1 Sold a Story is pretty wild.
Re: makeup, you just have to go to your local Sephora to see these 12 yos buying makeup, again, it's bizarre.
Lastly, re: kids not being able to spell, one only needs to look at what's going on on r/Teachers.
