In the interviews between my parents and the teachers the negative subject was me. And they were right because I was guilty .But it was the early 1970s
Silver Lining Dept. The parents of the kids getting homeschooled this month are never, ever going to be able to blame the teaches for their kids lousy results!
I think they need to take responsibility before they are given trust. That being said, if they arenât held responsible how do we give them trust? Yeah, I am talking about âaffluenzaâ.
Anyone with the anthologies know the original publication dates of this one? Iâm thinking late 80s â early 90s. Iâm trying to put generations to this.- the prof and prez from the Greatest gen- students the last trickle of the Boomers, or leading edge of Gen x. (Iâm dead centre Gen x)Either way, this is not a new issue. Every generation thinks the one(s) following is a bunch of lazy idiots.
The sad fact is that some parents will blame the teacher(s) for their child/childrenâs poor grades and then complain when there are few teachers around to teach their child/children.
My father was a teacher. He said if 1 or 2 students fail itâs their own fault (not studying, etc.), but if several students are failing itâs the teacherâs fault (not being effective at explaining the subject matter).
I have to join in here and say it is a lot more complicated that what people are saying. I was a gifted student, but the abusive environment I grew up in left me shy and afraid to speak up for myself. As a result, I was often overlooked and even discouraged. While some students got praise and encouragement for their achievements, mine were greeted with indifference. I remember in the 4th grade the class was divided into 2 groups; slow readers and fast readers. I was in the fast reader group, but could still read faster and with greater comprehension that my classmates. Rather than encourage me or make special provisions, the teacher would get mad at me at tell me âslow down. Youâre reading too fast for the other childrenâ. I made Aâs in elementary school (Mississippi schools werenât much of a challenge), but by the time I got to high school I was so filled with depression and educational lethargy I struggled to get by.
It seems to me there are an awful lot of people posting here who are convinced they know all about the âlazy younger generationâ but exhibit no evidence of any experience with said generation. I agree with everyone who says that every generation thinks the younger generations are worthless.

I guess this where the philosophy of âI take no responsibility at allâ started.

Welcome to the entitled generation. The same ones who were at the FL beaches for the we deserve Spring break, while the virus was spreading.

I struggled in high school. Neither my folks or the teachers ever talked with me to try to find a solution. Some of my classes were just over my head.

The school mailed our report cards home. Then we played a game called Intercept the Letter.

People have always tried to pin the blame of their own failures on someone or something else.
