Re: why students do worse now/4th post



As the first teacher said to Adam and Eve, after they had been
evicted from the garden and gone forth to procreate their own kind:
"We never would have put up with behavior like this in the
old days!"

David Dockstadter reminisces:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jane's recent post about being in control seems to not be the way society
is going. The current trend seems to be to blame everything on genes,
parents, or society. In fact society seems willing to excuse any kind of
behavior or crime if the person can prove that they weren't in control.
Even watching TV seems accepted as an excuse for being out of control.
Things must have been different once!
