'PDF to Brainrot' study tools are an iteration on a TikTok trend

As always, the eternal refrain: “the kids are alright”, but wow, the adults, they look like they’ve lost it.

I think these adults are misguided at best.

~“Kids diets are causing an obesity epidemic so teacher brings sweets to class to encourage them to eat.”

Was there a subtle insinuation that they are being paid off to promote these tools?

I am all for getting creative with teaching, but I think the creativity should stem from the actual material.

Subway surfing is incredibly dangerous with zero upside. Bringing videos of people doing that into a classroom is despicable.

Absolutely with you on the last point, but the Subway Surfers mentioned in this Article is a mobile game which has been around since 2012 - they don't splice in videos with actual subway surfing. Not that that changes much about the article in general^^

What a relief.

Thanks for the correction.

I legitimately tried to watch the linked vids multiple times, but the social media site where they are located kept booting me to install their app.

I even tried searching for reuploads to other, more open, social media, but was unable to find the same teacher.
