    Kids misbehaving in school. “Kids are so rude these days.” “Young people don’t show respect anymore.”

    I’m pretty sure that every generation had its bad eggs in the classroom and nothing has changed.

        Also, we have a constant stream of news telling us all the bad things. It’s hard to detach from it.

          Also, a few generations ago it was acceptable for a teacher to physically discipline the children with a wooden paddle

      Idk when else in history one can say “kids watching videos on endless scroll on their mobile phone while they listen to music and their parents will yell if you take away their $1,000 pacifier”
