I don’t think it is video games, but you can probably imagine how adults who

• aren’t actually engaging in dialogue with school pupils
• nor have time to implement or engage in accurate training on how to improve the social skills of their students, what their relationship with video games is, why mental health is down (thanks USA government for overworking the public schools)

… you can imagine how those adults do not make the connection that school is incredibly less social, organised and fulfilling than it used to be. Schools are now all focused on going in, studying, sitting tests, going home - they used to be full of activities to build comradery and p r a c t i c a l skills.

The adults working in education instead decide “kids like video games but don’t like school, I didn’t have video games when I was at school, so it must be a question of videogames raising their dopamine levels so much that everything in school seems SHIT!”

But as I’ve already said, they ignore the fact that school was literally better back then
