随着科技的发展,学校的学习环境和学生行为都发生了翻天覆地的变化。从课堂参与度到学生间的冲突,从学校设施的使用到校规的执行,都体现了时代变迁的痕迹。过去,课堂教学以老师为主导,学生积极参与,获得奖励以激励学习;而现在,手机和网络的普及分散了学生的注意力,课堂参与度下降,学生更倾向于使用手机等娱乐活动。学校冲突也从过去的肢体冲突演变为现在的网络暴力,学生更倾向于通过网络表达不满或进行攻击。学校设施的使用也发生了变化,过去学生会在厕所交换游戏卡牌,而现在则变成了吸烟和交易其他物品的场所。学校管理也变得更加严格,学生因为一些微不足道的事情而受到惩罚,例如不走指定的过街天桥而使用人行横道。学校集会也从过去精彩的活动变成了现在枯燥乏味的宣讲。总而言之,科技的进步和网络的普及深刻地影响了学校的教育环境和学生的行为方式,既带来了便利,也带来了新的挑战。

With the introduction of technology, school has changed so much over the years. I mean, in elementary school, a lot of people were eager to participate, and, uh, this is what we have now. Alright, class, welcome to a class that is so useless, you could probably wipe your ass and gain more knowledge. Alright, so, uh, who wants to share something they did cool this summer? Anybody?

No? Alright, well, this summer I went to East Guam and it was- Yeah, and then you gotta hear about this dude's trip to East Guam that you don't care about for like an hour. He'll tell you every single detail to even which category he was watching on a certain website that very night. And the reason behind why, like, participation in school changed is probably because it just got more boring and people now have phones.

So obviously they're gonna do that instead. So I remember in elementary school, we got rewarded for getting the right answer. So obviously that was gonna influence me to scream the answer if I had to. I had to do it if I wanted to win some candy, Pokemon cards, or whatever the hell people were giving out. But instead, I feel like since, you know, people don't raise their hands anymore,

They like to throw them instead. I don't know what it is with people fighting in the cafeteria at 7 in the morning, but like I don't even know where these dudes come from half the time. They just spawn in and they start beefing. And ain't nobody gonna stop them. Them? Nah.

People are gonna record the fight instead. When I was in high school, there was a fight like almost every day. And I would see it all over people's Snapchat stories that afternoon. Like there was no stopping these people from becoming the next world star prodigy. And sometimes it would really get out of hand and people would be throwing food all over the place and there'd be like a big ass food fight in the cafeteria.

Aw, bro, what the hell? Who just threw this piece of pizza at my face? I ain't messing around. Get the milk carton, bro. We got him. Yes, sir, bro. We gotta get out and get back. It starts an entire war in the cafeteria. I don't know how many of you have had this happen at your school, but I think I've had like a mini food fight happen at my school once, but that was about it. Like nobody was starring food fights for me, at least like years ago. In middle school, we were chill and we were just doing freestyles or whatever the hell, but for me personally, in high school,

That's when disaster just unfolded. Now, as for school bathrooms, ever since TikTok was introduced, I don't know why. I think around when I was in 10th grade, that's when TikTok became popular. And that's when I would always see some dude hitting a TikTok dance in the bathroom.

Ah, that wasn't good enough. Retake. Oh, what the fuck? I guess I don't gotta go that bad. Oh, hell no. I'll go later. But in elementary school, of course, people were trading Pokemon cards and Silly Bands in the bathroom. That was like the hotspot for where not to get caught with Silly Bands, because apparently teachers just did not like fun at school. Like, I don't know what was up. Like, they were really getting heated over goddamn Silly Bands and Pokemon cards. Like, what?

what is it to you if I want to show off my EX cards? Like, but yeah, I think as soon as I entered high school, the bathrooms officially became a hotbox. Like, I don't know what happened, but literally everyone and their mom started vaping. People were selling certain substances in there and it went from trading Pokemon cards to dealing other things.

I mean, that's just how it was. Everybody has something on them in class. They were trying to hide it in their sleeve and be all slick with it, but obviously that's not gonna work. Like, you can't expect the teacher not to smell it. Like, even if you blow it towards the window, that ain't gonna mask the smell of skunk in the air, bro. I don't know why people would bring that with them in the first place. Like, bro, you really taking the risk out here. Like, there were some people that really were, like, just straight up hitting it in gym class. Like,

sitting on the bleachers. Like, I swear, some people were actually dead. It's like, what are you doing? You have so many eyes on you right now. But as the years went on, classes changed a lot, but more specifically, gym class. Gym class went from really fun activities, like rolling around on this goofy-looking scooter, to either a sport,

sports I didn't give a fuck about or be like some drill sergeant ass shit. But one thing in particular about gym class that didn't change at all was the fitness gram pacer test. This thing is just never going to go away, is it? And I remember there would be kids just lined up at the drinking fountain after the pacer test. And there would always be that dude that was like, damn, bro, I am hella parched. One, two, three, save some for me. Bro, I swear, you say that shit to me again and I will get you a drink from the fucking bathroom. People

People in elementary school were just generally more ops. And I was one of them. I was one of the ops back in the day. Like, I'm just ashamed to admit this, but I was one of those dudes that would just shush people. Like, I would put my finger up to my mouth and start shushing people when they would talk.

Yeah, I was really that dude. Like if we were just walking in the hallway and somebody started talking, I would go up to them and start shushing them. Um, excuse me, you need to be quiet. There's other students trying to learn. I wish I could go back in time and just slap the hell out of myself and be like, dude, stop being such a fucking nerd, will you? Now, the assemblies in elementary school were just hype. Like we had some hype-ass assemblies. Like we had a magician come in. And as a nerd back in the day, of course, of course I loved the book fair.

But now at least for me assembly sucked bro. They were garbage It's always like psas telling people not to vape when obviously you cannot stop them Like what are you gonna do? You cannot do or like some anti-cyber bullying thing and you just have to sit through some boring ass presentation I'd just be on my phone bro. Like I just didn't care. I thought

Assemblies, it was supposed to be like a hype moment when you had an assembly, but I was just like alright Well, at least we get time away from class, but I gotta sit through another boring ass lecture That's what I thought to myself now bullying in school has changed so much it went from of course physical bullying to Virtual obviously, you know a lot of people like to hide behind the screen and say some shit to other people instead of actually saying it to their face and

And there was a lot of cyberbullying at my school, hence why we had like these PSAs and shit about cyberbullying. And unfortunately, there's not really much you can do in that situation. Like the most you can do is tell an adult or a teacher and that could lead you to actually getting your ass beat. So it's a coin toss. I feel like now physical bullying has become kind of rare. Like bullying used to go something like this. Hey, yo, bro, I need this homework done by tomorrow. Can you get this done for me? I'd appreciate it. But

Oh, hell no, bro. This is why you don't get no bitches. I swear you do this shit every time. Get the fuck in that locker before I shove you in.

Okay, fine, I'm getting a locker. But now it's more or less you just make a post about somebody. Back when I was in elementary school and I didn't even have lockers, people who were in high school would actually use their lockers. But now barely anyone uses their locker because they have absolutely no room in them.

Like, what are you even supposed to put in there? Like, I mean, me personally, I'd much rather just carry my backpack around with me. There's no point of using a lock. They're small as hell and there's a stampede of people coming across the hallway. Like, what the hell is the point of using them? I'd much rather just have my stuff with me so I could just dip right away at the end of the day. Like, I did not touch my locker once in high school. Like, I kid you not.

Now as for like after school activities and things like that, it has changed a lot. You could really start a club for about anything now. Like I never thought I would see the day where people started a club for ping pong at my school. I mean ping pong's goaded and all, but I never expected it to be like a school club. Sports and things like that have changed a lot too.

Like, grades have way more of an impact than they used to. And, you know, sometimes people would get in trouble for the dumbest things too, so they couldn't even play in the game. Now, one time my friend, right, he was on the baseball team. We were supposed to follow this rule where apparently you couldn't use the crosswalk at my school. It was the dumbest rule of all time. You have to use a bridge instead, like a crossing bridge. But he used the crosswalk one day and the principal caught him.

And he couldn't even go to baseball practice for like two or three days. Just because he didn't use the bridge, he had ISS for two days and he couldn't go to baseball practice. Like principles, I swear, have become more dense over the years. Like how do you

come up with these rules like I don't understand obviously no one's gonna use the bridge if the crosswalk is more convenient in high school people would always be in the office for the dumbest shit but in elementary school yeah people got in trouble I'd say for a pretty good reason when one time this dude just like jumped the fence and ran in elementary school and like every teacher was chasing him

But I mean, if we all ran, they can't get us all, if you really think about it. I could not tell you how many times people got in trouble for the dumbest shit in high school, though. My principal was just an op in general. Alright, so, uh, Mr. Dorble, why are you in here today?

I don't know why I'm here and I don't know who I hurt. Well, so it appears you've been walking on the wrong side of the hallway. Uh, I'm gonna have to give you a nice little few days in ISS. Hopefully that'll make you learn your lesson. And, uh, what did you learn from this? So what do you want me to do instead? You want me to go crip walk or something? The principals would always ask the dumbest questions. Like, oh, what'd you learn from this? What do you want, a script? What are you, a fucking robot? Like, are you programmed? Like, are you AI generated? I swear these motherfuckers had to be programmed. Like, come on. Like, how?

How are people getting in trouble for dumbass reasons like that? Now something else that has changed drastically, of course, just over the years, not just in school, but just over time, was the slang. When I was in elementary school, nobody even knew any slang. Like the closest thing to slang that we had was "yo". Of course, when more people got internet access and the introduction to Vine, people would always just reference Vines and shit like that and create slang out of it.

I don't think I heard a single soul say the word yeet in ages. Not that yeet, but you know what I'm talking about. But if you walk into a middle school or a high school or hell, maybe even an elementary school, you'll hear words such as Ohio, Riz, and just a bunch more slang words. I think it's because, you know, it's more common for younger kids to have access to the internet now.

And honestly, I think that's why school has changed so much. Every kid is given a computer in school now. I mean, hell, we even went from learning in person to virtual. And to be honest, it's probably not the best idea to give kids access to the internet because you don't want them to find stuff that's just going to be a bad influence on them. Want another video to watch? Watch this video on screen. Anyways, I'm out. Bye.
