The World Since 1982

I think kids’ views on education have changed. Children don’t respect what they’re learning. They don’t want to learn and don’t spend time on their work. I think one of those reasons is drugs. Most kids like to be in the “in-group.” They like to consider themselves “cool.” They spend more time with taking drugs than with their homework. Pretty soon, they drop school altogether.
