    My fiance is a professor and things I’ve heard about the last few years blow my mind. It’s not so much what they are doing exactly, but how shocked and offended they get if she asks them to stop.

        I’m a peer tutor (and also about fifteen years older than my “peers”), the sheer number of students that have scheduled appointments with me and then not shown up blows my mind. I even had one beg me to schedule with her on my off day, so I agreed, knowing she’s going to fail without someone to help her. And then she didn’t show up, or bother to text me that she wasn’t going to lol

        It’s just one of those things that makes me wonder if it’s a generation gap, or if it’s specifically “covid teens” that have this behavior.
