At first I thought this post was one of those fictions used to make a point, but it appears to be real. A teacher blogger, Crystal Kirch, posted that her students "don't know how to learn. They don't know how to succeed. And, it doesn't seem like they care to change any of that." She then deleted all comments on the post disagreeing with her position, including one that said simply "Perhaps a more accurate statement is that the children don't know how to learn the way you want them to learn." Lisa Nielson asks, "What's the point of developing a network of people who share our concerns and care about our issues if a differing opinion gets a level of push-back akin to sticking fingers in our ears and singing the Flintstones' theme song?" (It's worth noting that in the comments many people complain that Nielsen should not be 'calling out' a specific individual - but I think that unless you name names, the post may as well be fiction).
