i'm still friends with one of my teachers from high school. he is still teaching. he says it's a whole different day today where he really has to watch everything he says and does as the kids go home and tell their parents everything and the parents then come in and terrorize the administrators. in our day, you were really expected to settle your own affairs. if you had an issue with a teacher, you dealt with it yourself as the teacher did if he had an issue with you.
today, children are unable to settle their own affairs on any level. they just complain all day screaming for constant adult intervention. what is this about? some kind of feminization of society perhaps?
