Teacher abroad highlights cultural, not COVID, challenge with U.S. kids

Recent study finds COVID-19 impacting students’ socio-emotional development, leading to increased misconduct in schools. However, teacher Lisa Conselatore believes the root cause lies in modern parenting rather than the pandemic.

Conselatore, with 24 years of teaching experience, suggests that children have been raised to believe they are the most important person in any room, fostering a lack of respect and understanding for others. She emphasizes the importance of teaching children when to listen and speak, promoting respect and collaboration within society.

In her viral TikTok video, Conselatore urges parents to reevaluate family, community, and societal cultures to address the issue. She emphasizes the need for teaching children appropriate communication and behavior, advocating for a shift towards fostering respect and cooperation in all aspects of life.
