For the most part, yes, I do think so. Let me add other data point: I'm a professor at UNT, so I see a hundred or so kids every year that have gone through the public schools here. There have been changes over the past 11 years that I've been teaching at universities, but I have never had any problems with lack of respect or failure to accept authority, either now or in the past. Now if you want to talk about the astounding decrease in mathematical preparation of students over the past 15 years, I'll rant and rave about that for a while! :-( > I'm assuming of course that your 30+. Pretty safe bet.... :-) > I can say personally, we didn't dare back talk a teacher or our parents > growing up, out of respect. Teachers, yes. And I haven't seen anything to make me think this has changed. But parents? Oh please.... unless someone entirely skips the ages of 3 to 18, I doubt there's a single kid anywhere in the world that hasn't back talked their parents. It's part of being a kid and testing limits. The only question is whether the parents let them get away with it (which I hope they don't!). -- Steve Tate --- srt[At]cs.unt.edu | Gratuitously stolen quote: Dept. of Computer Sciences | "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, University of North Texas | or better,' so I installed Linux."
