At TAC Dev level we had multiple training sessions from "sports psychology" experts that told us kids no longer respond to the old ways, the abusive coach, they just switch off to people they perceive as a bully.
Lods you will know better than myself, but I believe they are taught as much at school in how to deal with and identify bullies and bullying, and the same learnings apply to a ranting football coach!
Which always surprises me when I think about Donald "Dunderhead" Trump being elected, Trump, Putin and Bolsonaro are almost bully archetypes!

Anytime you make a blanket statement about 'kids' or any other group, ir will not apply to everyone in it.
The 'old ways' will still work on some, but probably not as much as it would in the past.
As always, a 'horses for courses' approach works best.
But yes, kids today do learn about that stuff in school and its much better managed than why you or I went through the system.

They're doing the bullying education thing at pre-school now. My grandson was telling me all about bullies and can pick them on the TV shows.

A lot of the way we chat to each other here would also be identified as bullying, yet for us it's just regular argh bargy, we can't stop change.

When I went to school they told me that Saturn had 10 moons
I found out today I'd been lied to.
Saturn has at least 145 moons.

Science changes when more is known...eg Pluto, round(ish) earth

The language as always is a problem, science is not forever yet it is often misrepresented with language that hints at permanence.

As a teacher over the years I've collected quite a few resources including text-books.
My thinking was that..."This is a good text. I'll use it with my own kids and grandkids."
I taught across the curriculum so I had books from a range of subjects.
Some have stood the test of time.
I could teach to the subject using most of the Maths texts despite some changes to the way that subject is now taught.
But the Science texts are pretty much redundant.
Even though a lot of the material is still accurate things like planetary info, periodic tables etc have undergone serious revision.
It would confuse the reader who wouldn't be sure what was right and what was inaccurate
History/Social Studies texts from the sixties and seventies have at their centre a UK/Empire bias.
Indigenous culture gets a page or two...if that.
Atlas and Geography texts have the same issues as Science. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia no longer exist, and despite Putin's 'valiant' attempts the Soviet Union is now several independent countries. There are many new countries in Africa and Asia.
Yep,...knowledge is only what's known and accepted at the time, and subject to change at a later date.
