>you don’t have the perspective necessary

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. It’s absolutely ridiculous seeing a teacher try to tell a young person that they “don’t have the perspective necessary” when talking about whether young people use “y’all” or not nowadays. As if you have a better perspective on youth slang than a young person does, LOL.

As a young person, I can attest that young people absolutely do use y’all a lot more nowadays.

Maybe your students don’t, but that’s completely anecdotal, and you (should) recognize that.

Your comments always seem to have this oddly hostile & condescending attitude, it’s weird and unnecessary as hell.
