WHO ARE OUR STUDENTS AND WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THEM?

Every Generation… Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and show no love of exercise. They no longer greet others when they enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble their food and terrorize their teachers. -Socrates, 5 th Century B.C.
