I also feel like it's getting worse. When I was a littl'un in ye olde days of the late 80's / early 90's, yes I was bored out of my tits, but there were far fewer tests and exams to worry about, and more importantly, whilst there was discipline there was none of this punitive pavlovian structured shaming that seems to be so common now, with their bull**** "traffic light systems" and "reward time" for the timid kids who successfully go unnoticed all week.
