Gen Alpha Still Can’t Read (And Teachers Are Quitting)
Teachers across America are quitting in record numbers - and many say Gen Alpha’s tech addiction is the final straw. Let’s talk about why many educators are walking away from the classroom in 2026 and how phones, TikTok, and AI are changing the way students learn (or don’t learn). From constant distractions to falling test scores, teachers are reaching their breaking point. I dive into the shocking truth behind America’s education crisis - why kids can’t focus without screens, how technology is rewiring an entire generation, and what this means for the future of learning. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to schools, or you’ve heard teachers say “we’re done,” this video explains why.
