Yes, they act like they don't want to try. I am making a conscious effort to get my kids to think through problems and solve them. I remind them that people who figure things out themselves do better than those that don't.
This is from godot reddit:
"How to learn godot
Are the docs useful? They look scary asf so idk if i can handle em and on youtube arent the stuff i am looking or there is but i want it different way than it is on the screen but i dunno how to do it (example: i wanted to make a coin counter but all there was is score counter which was giving points after clicking im sure i could use this to make that coin counter but i dont know how to do it or im stupid and lazy idk"
I get that reading docs is a skill, but it starts out having you crawl in the docs.
BTW, "old school" is not the same as old school. I meant "old school". -
@Demolishun Oh, dear. Reading that text from Reddit is hard! No punctuation at all. The liquid shit just comes out from their mind right onto the screen.

“They use a computer one way, and we use a computer another way,” Guarin-Zapata emphasizes. “That’s where the problem is starting.” Ford agrees. “These are smart kids,” she says. “They’re doing astrophysics. They get stuff. But they were not getting this.” -
@qwwerty Thank you so much for this link. I'll share and discuss it with my colleagues!
Santa needs a computer and internet now 😂
20's Kids these days....
Teaching advanced IT topics like programming or system management has become much harder in only about five years, because many 20 year olds do not know how to effectively work with the file system. I don't blame them: the Microsoft Office applications nudge you strongly towards storing everything in the Cloud (saving files locally requires extra clicks), and on Windows, the folders C:\Users and C:\ are almost hidden in he respective dialogs (open file, save file). Same on macOS. Students also keep loosing files. This used to be an excuse for not doing the work; nowadays, you're able to find the files on their systems by using appropriate tools (e.g. `find`, installed with Git Bash on Windows). And don't get me started on touch-typing... hell, those kids were fast ten years ago with a proper keyboard! Now they're fast with their smartphone, but painstakingly slow on an actual keyboard.
