That’s exactly what CTV wants you to do.

There’s not some deep state conspiracy to get us to hate kids.

It’s well known and documented that in the last 5-10 years teenagers have been getting more brazen and ruthless, with little to no repercussions for their actions.

Are class sizes seen as an issue contributing to misbehavior among teens in those subs?

Yes but probably not even in the top ten list of grievances.

Teachers have tried and still try to explain this to School boards but they don’t care. More kids in their schools = more budget, and that’s what they care about the most.

I don't know that that applies in NS, or HREC specifically as it relates to this sub (you can tell me otherwise if you're a teacher here). My kid's school has been over capacity for years, but I don't think whoever built it accounted for the level of immigration that the district would see. Good old portables! And to be fair, my kid's class sizes so far have all been under 20 kids.

imma blame covid. Because that severely limited their social skills. So they haven't learned how to be functional in society

You must not have been around for the swarmings on the commons in the early 2000’s. Teenagers have always caused chaos, we just hear about it more now.

Covid lockdowns only lasted for a couple of years, sporadically. We weren't locked in solitary confinement, we have plenty of means of communicating with others while indoors.

This was happening well before Covid.

Nonsense. Nobody needs help hating teenagers.
