As a late gen Z yep. I work in a school, and I feel like the course material has been chopped up and is being spoonfed now.

When I was there 10 years ago. (fuck) It was a unspoken rule that you had to learn to learn and quickly. If you did not well. Half our class dropped out.

However its also clear that schools are, in my country at least. A lot less likely to throw out students that probably should just find a profession rather than a higher degree.
