Gen Z is graduating college with jobs?

Gen Z still has the attention span necessary to graduate high school?

tbh us millenials didn't have much of an attention span in high school. We were all hornyposting via notes passed between each other (since not everyone had a cell phone) and had to have books with bright, colorful pictures in them. Good luck getting us to read something with black and white diagrams or just nothing but text.

I had a great attention span in high school. Played Minecraft for hours in class on my school issued laptop.

My school didn't have laptops. Any room with multiple computers we would install Bolo on since it was never blocked by the filter/parental controls. Except the actual computer lab because our programming teacher knew about emulators and also played Bolo when it was still new.
