Where do I begin. Participation trophies. Bicycle helmets. Everyone a straight A student. Constant affirmation, even for the most rudimentary task. Somewhere between my generation and yours, parents decided that being their child’s friend was more important than being their parent. Liberal education. Pop psychology. Internet. Media bias. Blame them all. I don’t know where it came from but it has arrived and it happened one day at time. No one is personally responsible for anything anymore and you are seeing it first hand, front line. You’re not crazy. Keep up the good fight.
As a member of the Baby Boomer generation I would love you to be able these children the old way. But as you mention these problems start at home with parents and their lack of discipline. How do you educate them? I do not envy you or any other teacher today with all the rules you have to follow when their are no rules for the students. It scares me to think of where we are headed next! Glad you can vent Gregory and I am thinking of you as you get ready to start a new week. Take care!

Thanks. I suspect it’s some of all of these and more.
