Do you think schools should make a class available to teach youth how to socialize/communicate with each other to counter social media damage?

The next generations seem to have social deficit, no?

[exitseven]

There are so many remedial things that students need to know it would take up the whole school day. I think we have to acknowledge that we have lost a whole generation of students because of covid and the woke policies of the democrat DOE and the teaches union.

Hell yes! My children were taught in school to understand marketing and that "premium brands" were generally not significantly better than much cheaper options, if at all. The same should be taught about politics: it's marketing, look at the record, the facts, not what they claim.

Home school and many private school children are adequately socialized. Public schools are beyond repair. Public schools should be abolished and the money given to the parents to home school or send their children to private schools.

If only all parents were perfect

[Kelley1]

Not all parents are perfect but on average their decisions and actions are forty times better than the horrible decisions and actions made by the state.

Yeah I think social media is making kids socially awkward lol

[Asker]

It really does show.

[Surely]

You mean to reinvent the wheel? My high school used to have public speaking.

[Asker]

lol Humans forget so easily sometimes you have to. So did mine.

[IslaTheWitch]

it always makes me wonder... what do parents teach children at home?

[purplepoppy]

What's the point? Kids will just dismiss it as brainwashing by the government. Ir would drive Kids into the clutches of people like Tate.

What are you even on about all kids do at schools is socialise. Smh

[Asker]

You're 23 and in the thick of it.

[Kaneki05]

Maybe you forgot how school is, for me it wasn't so long ago. You socialise all day it's tiring, even as someone who didn't have many friends you had to speak to others all the time and deal with them.

[Asker]

You miss the point. Properly socialize as in learning how to communicate with each other with respect so that you can grow up and accomplish much more with your lives due to those social skills. People have no idea how to handle people who disagree with them in a mature way. They ghost. They tantrum. They get vindictive. Whole generation of manufactured autistics who come to gag and ask why the person doesn't reply to them. Ask why people don't flock all over them. Can't even handle approaching to ask out. Terror.

[Kaneki05]

There are people in their 40s on here who are more lacking of handling opinions but that's all subjective anyway. And one ain't going to act the way you want them to that's life.
There is no teaching beyond here that's needed. We as people are social from the very start how we develop overtime is due to our own problem solving and experience, if you don't like the way they became that I doubt a lesson at school would change that.

[Asker]

You can't trust ages or genders on gag. A number of the mods have been proven to dozens of troll accounts each too.
I respectfully disagree with the rest of that. A person should never stop learning and making self better. The options for classes being available hurt none.

[Kaneki05]

Eh not many lie about been old that's backwards. Most lie about been young. And from the way they even make points and write I can tell they are older for sure.
Especially long time users I've seen here.

But my point was not to stop learning, my point was that lesson won't make them learn. The best way people learn how to socialise is by doing exact that and at school that's all you do really. In fact kids go out there way to socialise over working.
And there is nothing better one can teach them that they can't themselves in that book.
Unless you are suggesting them to learn fake social interactions.. That don't make sense nor are true the real world.

[DrPepper12]

Many do as part of health class as well as have personal finance as part of economics. Real world shut they need.

[lightbulb27]

Good idea if kids are not socializing.
