Our Future

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 4:39 PM

They always say children are our future... I am beginning to think we might be doomed. I really do love my students and I see some who are working and trying, but for the most part, they aren't. They will do as little as possible and just scrape by. I am not just talking about the students I work with, but all over. The work ethic seems to have gone in favor of scams, rudeness, lying, self absorption, and a complete lack of interest in anything that isn't entertainment related.
I could go on and on and blame loads of different groups, but what it comes down to is we, as a society, are losing what matters. We work so hard to offend none and micro manage all that we have driven all creativity, ambition, and work ethic out in favor of internet celebrity and getting by with as little work as you can...
Hmm sounds like I am bitter, but really I am just sad. I don't think there's much of a future out there. I see some exceptions ( like the teenagers on this board) but as a whole I don't think much of my generation's parenting abilities... we're raising lazy, selfish, brats!
