I wonder if this is mostly a hangover from COVID. My parents are teachers, and they say after the 2 month summer break the kids backslide and most classes aren't back to normal until almost Christmas. This survey is from 2022 when schools still weren't even completely back to pre-COVID routines.

Kids emulate adults...
Blaming them is pathetic lol
But calling out shiti parenting is no no spot within our society
With that said shiti parenting is largely result of poor social economic conditions. Even if you want to be a good parent it is very hard to do unless you got economic means AND time.
Kids emulate adultsโฆ
I would generalize that more to, "People operate and react to the system they're in." For kids, a huge part of that is their parents, but there are other factors involved like social media, and the wider society.
So many people want the simple answer, so they say it's "personal responsibility" and nothing else. We need to create/adjust our systems to generate the outcomes we want. As you point out, socioeconomics play a huge part so we not only need to relieve those burdens, but also provide specific supports in schools and the wider communities.
Yeah, exactly. We've been running on "personal responsibility" as the core ethic of society for 50 years now, and, uh... I mean, it hasn't worked out here, I'm not sure why anyone would believe that it'll work for 10 year olds.
Covid really did a number on them.
Covid and technology. It's pretty well documented what modern social media does to people's attention spans. On top of it teachers weren't even allowed to take a kids phone in class until recently.
