My daughter is Gen Alpha, 2014. It's hard to believe she will be a teenager next year, I can't believe how fast 12 years have flown by.
I really hope this country can start turning things around and Trump becomes a distant memory and women start getting the rights to their bodies back. Will be a long time before that happens in my state.
I think her generation is going to pay heavily for our failures but I believe they come out stronger in the end and more united against what will make their lives hard.
the education in america has been declining for decades, for public schools and many of us probably suffered from the participation grades which fast tracked you out of the school with "passing grades" only to severely struggle in community college even, ive seen so many in remedial courses taking grad school math, not even algebra. reading is a problem too, but writing essays is too advanced for remedial students.
