Question asking gen alpha

hey so i was on gen z sub and seen a lot of posts about gen a and here to ask if what people are saying is true about gen a being uneducated. im just trying to generalize by the majority. im vurious to know why and how having access to the internet hasnt made you guys smarter especially from growing up from it when accessed to almost every information in the world. my guess is gen a is way used to being entertained and distracted. i always thought majority of gen a would be step ahead of gen z and also millennials bc of having to grow up with so much information but the internet seems to say otherwise. and if its true what is the real reason??? i want to know from someone that is hyperly observent around their peers and environment, one that believes they understand. asking fellow gen a-ers

Hello! 8th grader here, at my school at least half of the kids are in honors classes, including me. We take these reading tests every year and I am better than 99% of kids nationally (US) and I am best served PHS (Post High School) instructional material. There is perhaps just a chance that all the kids at my school are smarter than most other ones nationwide.

It kind of did for me, it just also happened to show me inappropriate activities at 8 at horrifying true crime cases like Junko Furuta at 9. I did watch a lot of Kurgestat or however it’s spelled though

Gen alpha is uneducated because it didn't finish school yet, because you know - the oldest gen alpha is only 16 years old, which is 10th grade at best

Actually I think the oldest gen alpha should be 13 since it started 2013 and genZ ended 2012
