As a 16 year old this article is pathetic. This refrain that the children are terrible has echoed down the centuries and repeating it does not make it any more true. “The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.” - Socrates

Nor does repetition make it any less true. Also, that's a misattributed quote [0].

She has probably spent more time analysing children than you have been alive.

Just an interesting note, I'm not taking one side or the other.

I've just trained to be a teacher, so the behaviour of children in a classroom is of interest to me. I have noticed that children don't play outside as much as they used to, and of course tablets, phones, xboxs etc play a huge part in the changing behaviour -- we didn't have them when we were kids. TV used to switch off at 9pm (I think, or was it 10pm?)
