    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.

      The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
