Yeah it's like tripping balls on acid every weekend for a year and then wondering why pot just doesn't cut it for you anymore. You build up a tolerance to the stimulation and mundane stuff is not going to cut it. At the same time some of this is just the teacher being way out of touch. Slenderman and Sirenhead and crap are just trendy memes, they come from SCP wikis and some artists drawings, they are modded into all sorts of games and crap because using the models isn't going to get you sued. They are supposed to be creepy, they are the new boogie-men for the internet age. Kids latch onto them because they don't have a concept of cringe. This bitch would have been complaining about Tamagachis and Super Mario and Sonic in my day. Technology can make learning way more immersive and enjoyable and that's half the reason the teachers fear it, it makes them obsolete, it obliterates the small shreds of power they hold. At the same time it's centralized for efficiency and this lends to total control and breaks all sorts of societal failsafes (that aren't doing us too much good right now anyway, see the commie teachers unions). ... It's a real mixed bag and I don't trust normie society to navigate the issue well.
