Gen Z, this will smart.

The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist.

And shockingly, they are proud of it.

“They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are.

“They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”

“Every generation has outperformed their parents” said Horvath. “Until Gen Z.”

I don't think there is much to question about that.

Due to smart phones, the MSM, and the "education" system, their minds are mush.

As always, they know just as much stuff, it's just that it is DIFFERENT stuff from what their parents (grandparents, etc.) know; it appears, however, not to be the stuff that Academe measures.

If a Boomer has a problem with its cellphone the Boomer is happy to have a Gen Z person around to figure it out. OTOH, if a Gen Z person gets a flat tire, they call Pappy.

Right?

Gen Z, imo dont have as much common sense as people used to. They have no experience. Many parents are happy for them to be glued to a screen because they dont want to be bothered.

Here in Pennsylvania, they are trying to reverse this. A new bipartisan law was signed to mandate the teaching of cursive writing in the schools.

Getting back to the basics is the key.

Gen Z isn't really "dumber" they are just ignorant and uneducated.

Pennsylvania schools to embrace cursive writing once again

Each of the 15 students in Mollie Sweeney’s third grade class raised their dominant hand. Sweeney, a teacher at Burrell’s Bon Air Elementary, then walked through the motions of how to write a lowercase letter in cursive. Students air-traced the motion. Only after that did the students take pencil to

Then explain the lower IQs.

Then explain the lower IQs.

When IQ tests are rewritten to include questions about the 57 genders, and Lesbian thespians, the Boomers will be the ones looking like imbeciles.

What a self own! Gen Z is still scoring better than Boomers.

Generation X and Millenials scored better than Boomers by FAR. Generation Z scores plummeted in 2022 after the 2020-2021 shutdowns. It is the driving impact. Not phones. Only low IQ Boomers would believe that. PLUS.. Gen Z is still scoring better (smarter?) than Boomers. lol.

OK, it must have been my uncommon common sense that allowed me to do very well for me and mine.

I'll just cuddle-up against my fat net worth whilst the youngin's ***** about it.

But yeah, it's a damn shame what the vile dems did to a generation isn't it?

This topic has been way too generalized to have any coherent meaning.
Talk about lumping people together.

Human civilization and advancement maxed out with the Boomers.

It’s all downhill from here.
