Does every generation think the young folk are crazy?


O.k. everybody knows Wardy loves the kids, right? I mean I work ten thousand jobs and just got another one working with the youth just today! See previous blog about having fun on the job interview. Anywho, back to the issue....I started job readiness training for young people today at a local high school and all i can say is.....If children are the future, I am very afraid.
Seems like they have no fear of anything and don't really care about tomorrow. I know its only been two days but I think I am a good reader of people. We gave the students a $100 gift card to get a $30 bus pass good for summer and some other supplies. I over heard students talking about how they are gonna sale the cards for cash!!! Don't they know they can just get the money off like a visa....Neva u mind, eye forgot I am talking about the kids.
I next tried to enlighten them on the joys of job searching and employer expectations. I decided to test out my class and did some impromptu role playing about a an unhappy customer at McDonald's. The students were doing good until one of the role players said they wanted to hurt the other student because he was being a rude customer. I thought to myself this is why customer service is dead-lol!
I enjoy teaching the young folk but I do wonder "Does every generation think the young folk are crazy?" Remember when Rock N Roll came out and those white kids went bananas, and the sugar hill gang dropped Rappers Delight. Who could forget how NWA changed the game. The list keeps going, but what the freak are these young people doing now a daze? Seems like smoking weed and getting drunk in the in thing. Use to be time when young ones would fear and respect a cop, now they shoot to kill.
Who knows, I may get killed by one of my students one day, but I still gotta do my part because if I only reach one student, then that is one person to help another.
I wonder how the kids would act if the teachers walked in sagging, texting anybody with a phone and falling asleep in class. Huh, its funny how people are surprised when teachers go off on students...not saying that eye would every harm a precious angel, but I am saying....with parents getting younger and younger, the scene of this world is changing....They didn't have to make a movie called Bad teacher they could have just followed me for a day!
I am Ward
