Wow, it& #39;s almost like as children shift identities into adulthood they need guidance and reassurance. Peer culture has a place, but one that& #39;s not the whole of life and is far better integrated into adult society (ie not 8 years of quarantine) https://twitter.com/wrathofgnon/status/1297924270333427712">https://twitter.com/wrathofgn...
Mental health is going to keep worsening, and the stats will get worse at an increased rate because the top soil is gone. It& #39;s dried up and there& #39;s nothing left to cover the difference. And so things are going to have to change.
-It should be illegal for any social media site to have members under the age of 18
-No student should be in a classroom with more than 12-15 students
-Support should shift to vocational schools; credentialism and accreditation agencies must be broken
-We should give tax breaks to families who use another family member for childcare, supporting the nuclear and extended family
-Parents should have greater telework options in order to facilitate children& #39;s mental health. They need their parents.
-Walkable neighborhoods. Wild forest schools. Whatever we have to do to make it happen we need to do. We spend trillions of dollars to put machines in space but can& #39;t be bothered to help kids spend some time in the woods.
