Have you noticed changes in student and teacher engagement/enthusiasm over time?

Asking out of pure curiosity.

Personally, I sometimes feel like both students and teachers take the “easy” way out. It can feel as if all parties involved are, in a sense, a bit “lazy,” and that there is a general lack of enthusiasm compared to before. At least, that is how I interpret it.

I’m wondering whether this is just a coincidence, whether I’m misinterpreting the situation, and/or whether this is a relatively new thing. Were things actually better before, or does it just seem that way?
