Was tempted to respond to your post - but after reading that last sentence...it must have been a rhetorical post. :-)
It's sad - these kids are FED THIS BY THEIR TEACHERS, EDUCATORS, ADMINISTRATORS AND GOVERNMENT.
That's where it starts - that's where it festers - that's where it escapes the bubble of incubation and leaps out into the wilderness at age 18....
...the difference between now and then (well, the 30 years since I left the cult of education) is that WE WERE EXPECTED TO GROW UP and as a result of that growing up WE LEARNED AND REALIZED HARD WORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!
Those who don't work hard eat boxed macaroni and cheese. Those who do work hard eat caviar and dine with Robin Leach.
Those who don't work hard subsist off other's people's work. Those who do work hard bask in the fruits of their labor.
Those who don't work hard and expect people to pay them the same wage as those who do are thinly veiled communists. Those who do work hard expect nothing for free, freely participate in the economy by starting companies, creating jobs and putting other hard working people to work!
Our education system is succeeding...at something.
So much for not responding! :-)
