I think his wording was pretty close to “their ‘don’t give a shit’ factor is through the roof”
Honestly, similar with my work too. Covid seemed to amplify the idea for lots of people that ‘they don’t give a shit about you’ so people just stopped killing themselves trying so hard.
My fiance is a professor and things I’ve heard about the last few years blow my mind. It’s not so much what they are doing exactly, but how shocked and offended they get if she asks them to stop.
I don’t have the comparison but before covid people were doing all kind of stuff on their laptops in university. I remember a guy who watched star trek during a lecture and said “the lecture is being recorded, I can watch it later”. Then he watched that lecture during a lecture that wasn’t recorded.
I used to teach massage at a vocational school, and for multiple reasons had a “no phones” policy on the classroom (distraction, exposed body parts, and others.) I could have ignored it during lectures except that the overlap of students on their phone and the ones asking to re-explain information or just lost as to what they’re supposed to be doing was nearly perfect.
Honestly even in a professional setting it’s gotten so much worse. Been in meetings with VPs directors, c line, everyone has their phones out testing and emailing away during the meeting not even caring
Since COVID students do not give a fuck. They used to hide it, now they get offended when you tell them to put their phone away.
I’ve heard the same from a university professor.

Adolescents don’t like being told what to do? I’m shocked!
Or adults!
