A screaming child who had his iPad taken might come to your mind. Alpha Kids are reportedly not doing well in school and many are subject to the algorithms of today. They will have a front row seat to the future we are headed towards.

Do you have hope that Generation Alpha will live happy and fulfilling lives?

i heard some people wanted to be influencers whent hey grow up, i dont see that much for people who graduate HS currently. not to blame them, but genz already have significant employment problems from getting a degree, as like millineals, even more so for genz. its only getting worst for gen alpha(unless u can afford private school for your children and hope the children isnt already set up to failure by the parents. i used to followed some asian yotubers they put thier child, toddler through private school, but they had to remove him because had behavioral issues due to combination of medication mental issues, the parents are extremely ill equipped to deal with the child, last thing i heard they just "sit at home and do nothing" because the mom is also "directionless in her life, so lazy", and many of the old fans of thiers said he dint have a chance from the start, due to thier parents own problems, besides being magaty.

also besides that reading/writing, math comprehension is very low for people in HS and college, this isnt going to help them.

Influencer is just the new celebrity. How many of your peers wanted to be famous when they grew up? It is all the same.
