I used to teach elementary school. I hear so much from teachers about the problems they have with their students. Kids are not as nice as they used to be. Sometimes I wonder if they are not being disciplined at home. Also, I feel there is so much trouble and crime in the world of today, that this may affect behavior. The other day a friend of mine who is a teacher's aide told me that some students csrry guns in their back pack. What is becoming of our society?

Weird, we also had that discussion with my colleague a few days back. So, you also noticed the degradation of the quality of discipline of the youth now a days. Maybe we can also blame the violent video games the kids are playing. They are taking life for granted because they are acquiring the notion from the video games that violence if good.

YEs, i totally agree- kids these days grow up fast and they are not watched over well by their parents anymore. Some are quite mean too and very disrespectful.. It is a sad thing, but kids in our neighborhood get meaner and meaner too.

For me .. that is because of too much exposure of the kids in technology and social media.. technology that is not appropriate for their age to know and to be learned and influence of social media wherein everyone can post their pictures and videos. I think we cannot avoid them of indulging with fast technology that we have now but I think strict guidance from the parents are needed to guide them not to limit their exposure on such premature usage of technology.. like limit them in watching Tv, do not allow them to have a social media account.. and divert them to a physical activities like sports than allowing them to play psp,computer and other online games...

In our country we say "mother, father and teacher are gods. But nowadays, children don't respect them at all. Students don't obey their teachers. In my college, a student beat his professor for advising. Students are so rude on teachers.

Society is just a big mess right now , we have crazy people doing all sort of things and the children are following what they see the adults doing around them . I really cant blame children for some of the things they do .

The students at first are different with students nowadays. There is a moral degradation. Maybe it is influenced by technological development that are not accompanied by a balanced moral education. They are also lack of attention from parents, teachers. As well as teachers who are less able to give an example. Environmental influences also determines the behavior of students now. The role of mother should be increased, because mother must be the closest one since they were baby
