I can’t bring myself to care about “iPad kids” the way the internet wants. Seems like another way to bash parents and blame the next generation for all the woes of society.
Yep I totally get it. Covid didn’t help these kids either.
In the US, it’s a huge multi-faceted problem. We’ve successfully undermined our teachers at almost every step of the way. We guarantee zero parental leave and protections when parents have children. It’s very difficult to have a family without both parents working. There’s many reasons why kids are not performing at university levels when they get there.
I can’t get worked up about it the way the internet always seems to get its panties in a bunch about it. I make sure my child is ready for the next step in their education and ignore the discourse.

A friend of mine just lost his job as a professor because the iPad kids don’t hand in assignments and he gets blamed when they fail their course.

so, we all agree that the problem is the iPads, and not the kids?
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
That’s been my parenting mantra and it’s worked out pretty well so far.
