Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

To be clear: I can only go off what I’m told and what I see, so if I’m in error, it’s only because of that I’m shown/see. That said, the guardian recently published a report on sexual assault in schools. I’ll have to try and find the article.
Like I said, there are real problems, but these aren't unique to the UK or new problems that exist now that have never existed before.
No, of course not, I’m not disagreeing at all. It’s just (and as you said, it literally could just be the media twisting the narrative so to speak) it is being made out to be getting worse. That plus one of my friends they say that their kids school has stopped punishments for not doing homework — basically letting the kids get away with not doing work. So I just was curious is all.
I went to high school in a European country until the early 2010s. I just stopped doing homework and nobody really cared (they pretended to, and would tell you to do it, to which you would nod and smile and maybe do the bare minimum next time and then conveniently forget it again). My mom largely tells similar stories from her post-68 youth.
Wow.
Yeah.
I now hold a trade degree, a bachelor in engineering and a master in CS, my mom had an economy degree, worked as vice department head for one of the largest companies back then before she took a maternity break, and did an open university remote bachelor in natural sciences afterwards because she was bored in her public service job.
Not bragging, well, maybe bragging a bit, but I'm trying to say that doing homework is not a great measure for success in schools and life.
