A way to prepare students for life with the issues of constant social media bombardment is through social and emotional learning or SEL. As a concept, this is not new, but its level of implementation varies. The sell to parents is that their kids do demonstrably better on grades and achievement tests.

Often the STEM movement butts up against SEL and crowds it out. The result over time will be to produce a bunch of graduates capable of jobs that AI will take over but who are unable to function in society and challenging interpersonal situations. The default behavior then becomes fantasy football or horse racing and treating elections as entertainment.
