A student's comment on prediction of tomorrow.
"Will kids finally respect their elders, or will it still be the same disobedience we are witnessing today? I would like to hope the kids change, but it doesn't seem the generations are changing. Kids still lie and disobey their parents. They don't respect or appreciate what is done for them. Most kids take everthing for granted, but once it's taken away they feel they've been wronged. Even in school, principals and teachers are taken advantage of. Some people think because a teacher is nice you can take advantage of them. Others think because they get yelled at all the time the teacher hates them. No, you're just an immature (person) and unable to function in a civilized manner"(OGH student). Comment on what you think and why can't students appreciate parents and teachers.

I think because we don't make them. Someone invented positive reinforcement which I do think has a place but we have went overboard. At one point we were told not to use red ink to grade papers because of the negative feelings it was generating.
I know with my own two kids that have more things than I ever had with less responsibility to get it. In stead of being happy with what they have they expect more. Granted I think they should say, "Mom, what do I need to do to earn this?" That does not happen because I have not been the one forceful enough to make it happen.
I grew up poor so I wanted to give my kids everything I didn't have. Now I realize what a mistake that was. Are my kids terrible kids? No, they are actually pretty good kids who are drug free(I am pretty sure)and in college/high school with no school discpline problems.
Are they spoiled? YES! Who did that? ME! Who can fix it? ME! How? I control the money!
