[Margaret Nell]

I cannot help but belive that teenagers think they have the right to be disruptive and destructive because they have not been taught that they do not. The generation of parents that reared my generation drew a hard line on what was acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Political correctness did not enter into the equation. It was Classical Conditioning at its best: Inappropriate behavior was met with the same unpleasant response until the behavior stopped. By the time one became a teenager,the mere thought of rude behavior brought about a feeling of dread and regret. Unfortunately, my generation dropped the ball. We thought Dr. Spock knew more than our own mom and dad. And we’ve raised a generation of children who believe that computers are teachers and not the mere tools that they really are. I fear for the future.
