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.

Yeah I dunno about this one. Public schools and the middle class have been squeezed pretty hard the past 30 years. The unfortunate events we hear about far too often, seem to keep getting worse. It never occurred or even was something on my radar growing up.

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

“That’s a paddlin”

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.

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"
