Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”
My daughter learned how to spoof her MAC address at age 12 to bypass any controls I added. Then I went with a separate WiFi for her which physically powered down when needed. She ‘solved’ that with a hammer to the lock on the cabinet with the equipment.
Sigh … eventually (after broken walls, me getting punched hard, police visits, dropping out of school) I kinda gave up and let her deal. She actually went to college after the public system basically gave her a high school degree for doing very little, but dropped out of that. Now she’s back home and as I type she’s rage yelling at her computer.

How did you reward her for this epic win?
