The more I teach the more I am concern about our present day parents. It seems as if morals and values of yesterday and times gone by have flown out the window. I see a genereation of parents who themselves need to be parented. We have a present day genereation that cannot think for themselves and it seems to easier to give up than even making an effort.
It's a quick fix generation that wants everything done instantly. If something is not before them in black and white they cannot think for themselves much less out of the box. Which world are these children going to be living in the next few years.Parents have become a set of whiners and they seem to think they and their children are entitiled to every and anything.
This generation is living in a bubble and they complain about every damn thing and soon as challenges arise it's easy to committ suicide than work through problems.
My questions to educational institutions are, are we here to sugar coat the realities of life or be bold in telling parents that the resposibilites lie with them to train and groom their child for the world that exist tomorrow and beyond. I am sick and tired of North America not addressing the 'White Elephant' in the room. Parents are the real problems of children today. There are parents who think their children are some kind of trophy. They cannot discipline them,control them, but yet they expect teachers to give into every demand their children make.
I have said it a thousand times,we are not growing children but adults for tomorrow. If we do not discipline and train our children today how will they become effective citizens for tomorrow.
Think about it.
