Can’t remember where I saw this recently… but I thought it poignant, considering all the talk of how the education system needs to change to better serve today’s children.
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
- Socrates (470 – 399 BC)
