If that's true then one would expect to see lots of misbehavior, insubordination, and absurdist pranks. At least that the usual escape valve for that age and that problem.
Do we see those kinds of problems with this generation?
- kaitai 8y agoWith this generation, pranks and insubordination are often dealt with by the school police officer! When I was in high school, I got a talking-to at most, or a blind eye because I was a "good kid". Now my old high school has a lot more law enforcement presence.
- jancsika 8y agoI'm thinking more along the lines of christmas-treeing the state administered IQ test. I remember a classmate doing that in high school. It was as if a bunch of ostensible gang members met a real gang member who showed them they were only ever singing and dancing in a musical about gangs.
