[quote=6packscaredy]Just know my kids and their friends.
Strongly disagree. They are sharper and more diligent than my peers were.
They are hopeful but not entitled.
My kid go a c plus on his 1st calculus test at sdsu but finished the class with an A- . We told him to figure that shit out or we we weren’t paying.[/quote]What I have seen is the split between the diligent and hard working vs. the self-entitled children has widened. I take your calculus kid and raise you a Community College Sophomore who will need to retake beginning Algebra… yet again. Parents thought that everything would be hunky-dory if they were really nice and got him what he wanted. Don’t even get me started on this kids language and writing skills. The kid is not stupid, just very lazy and will only do the least possible. Could be that your terms (not paying for C or below) might have been the motivation?
PS: I was one of the ‘other’ kids. I completed HS having already taken Calculus. There were diligent and self-entitled ‘back then’. I just seem to see more self-entitled now.
