Author Jonathon Haidt explains why this generation of students has skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression. #TheMoreYouKnow

@jaynrobinson One of my biggest pet peeves is when you go out to eat and there’s a family at a table and all the kids are on their personal iPads and nobody is communicating with one another. That is not healthy IMO.

Phones and social media raise these kids. Their parents aren’t parenting.

Just bought his book. Required reading for teachers…

No no I was told it was my fault because I’m not entertai… I mean engaging enough and I ask students to take out a pencil and paper. We can’t non-renew or retaliate against societal issues so let’s make it the fault of the only people left who want to see them grow and progress

Ahhh. Trust me - girls in the 90 s had a lot of anxiety, social pressure and self harm. Folks are way more open about it now…. Talk to any women in their 40s or 50s now. We still see it

Book is amazing. He’s dead on.

One foot out the door myself. I deal with more discipline over a fart than anything else.
