AI Analysis: Appeal to Fear
Sky News host Caleb Bond is shocked some kids do not know how to tie their shoelaces. “It’s shoelaces, how hard can it be?” Mr Bond said. “We all knew how to do our shoelaces by the time we were in year six. “Teachers are going well, heck, we’ve got kids going on excursions or sport or whatever, and they can’t do up their own shoes, so all of a sudden the teachers have to do up their shoes for them.” This comes after a teacher in Victoria sent a message to parents, urging them to teach their children how to tie their shoelaces if they have not already learned.
