RE: A Little Word About Boys, And Teaching

in Education & Training6 months ago

I think that it is a little unfortunate that as much as the kids of this generation are fortunate to have technology on their side to aid their learning, it is also sad that they are sometimes exposed to the wrong idea uncontrollably.

I have only heard about Andrew Tate but I have never listened to him or consumed any of "his content." I despise chauvinism actually. I was brought up by a woman alone, so the prejudice doesn't tally for me. But how does one teach that to boys of this age? I really do not know the answer you're seeking to that question.

Speaking of "the algorithm," I have become really careful with what I "interact with." The moment you like something that you are not exactly in tune with, but was interesting at the time, the algorithm plagues your feed with even more. I just consume the necessary and walk away in such cases, in hopes to not have them infest my space in the future.

Rather than listen to people like Tate, there are insightful people like Jay Shetty that talk about profound ways to become better as a person and in interacting with other people regardless of gender. He's taught me many things in the last three months.

Haven't heard of Jay Shetty, but I'll look him up if you say he's worth paying attention to. You have to be so careful of the algo, and I do think parents and teachers need to educate kids in that regard.

Being brought up by woman would have changed your perspective I'm sure. A bad male role model is worst than not having a Dad around for sure. I was lucky with my parents - Mum is very feminist and Dad's just a kind person.
