Aside from the flippant tone, I sort of agree with the point...judging by the habits that I see a lot of millenials exhibiting in the workplace, the general breakdown of discipline in primary education over the last 2-3 decades has not served students well in the classroom or on the job. I think it has mostly to do with "helicopter parenting" ("WHAT? My kid is not the problem, you are!") ... where teachers used to be able to count on parents backing them up, they mostly just complain and try to get the teacher fired for disciplining the kid - ergo, the teacher either has to give up instilling discipline in their classroom (thereby hurting the education of every other kid in the class) or resign themselves to spending a huge amount of time fighting parents instead of focusing on their lessons and having their career hurt as a result...it's a catch-22 for teachers.
Teachers used to be respected , but today you cant count on parent supports for the child education.
If the child has bad grades, it is because of the teacher , if the child cannot behave , it is the teacher's fault.
But for not one second parents question their parenting, Teachers get harassed , punched and even sued by parents when these teachers just try to do their job.
With parents like that ,well , these children will never behave like adults, since their parents are not either.
