Do I look like I'm made out of money?!

>why does it always has to be online

Because online has unlimited content so the child will theoretically keep playing forever.

As a former teacher I can tell you that, while it does significantly reduce their attention span to a worrying degree, the main culprit of asshole kids are narcissistic and/or enabling parents that neglect/smother their kids to a point where discipline is impossible.

In my entire career I've had maybe 2 kids whose behavior didn't match the parents care and in both those cases some form of mental illness was involved.

> So why keep letting kids be online all the time.

Online is just a faster, more accessible version of the Mall's ball pit playground.

Flashbacks to my parent teacher conferences where the universal sentiment was concern over how someone could simultaneously be so smart and so dumb. I’d just tell them a good chef never reveals their secrets and they’d say, “that right there is what I’m talking about. What the hell does that even mean in this context?”
