I've always wondered if it is related to discipline not bring enforced as harshly. I'm NOT saying it was good to do that, just wondering if that is a cause...

  Its a mixture of slow/stupid kids (low IQ) and rebellious, impulsive kids. Personality and performance undesirables. Back in the older days, there were more manual labor and mechanized jobs that anyone could learn to do if they just followed instructions. These days, every parent wants their kid to goto an ivy league, and get a "smart job." So they put their kids on performance enhancing drugs. Stimulants like amphetamines alter the brains reward system - dopaminergic synapses. So the asshole kid becomes a little bit nicer because the potential energy to do harder and undesirable tasks is now decreased both mentally and physically. Thresholds changed. Speed of mental quickness and physical dexterity also improved..so the slow kid is now near average level intelligence because he is overclocked on stimulants. Better hope the parents give their kids a good liquid cooling system and feed them more, need a bigger PSU when your system is clocked so hot.
