I’ve read about “Generation X phenomenon”, where young adults in today’s society seem to take things for granted, having grown up in households with higher standards of living than many of us older folks grew up with, and probably with more personal attention paid to them. It seems in some ways, possibly our society doesn’t require the degree of conformance that was required of students in previous decades; there seems to be more acceptance and importance placed on individuality. Life Skills courses should be part of every high school curriculum, to help students prepare for the 21st century work world. It seems to me that today’s youth are much more personable, intelligent and better at speaking up than high school graduates of my day. I’m thinking in particular of the Parkland High students, they are so articulate and passionate; just possibly they might be less inclined to follow orders and directions.
