After looking after children and tutoring them on their school work, I have come to the conclusion that kids today don't care - they don't give a rats arse.
Gone are all the days when I was young, and kids my age would do their homework without a huff or a puff, or an excuse, or a negotiation ... and the list goes on and on until I'm bored.
My favourite line from them is "I don't care!"
Stacey: "So let's do your homework."
Child: "I don't care."
Stacey: "If you don't do your homework you will fail!"
Child: "I don't care."
It's as if children today don't care if they fail; they don't care if they get good marks, they don't care if they don't get a job later on in life and they don't care if all their friends pass and they stay behind a grade.
Kids today do not comprehend how hard life is. They just think they'll live off mommy or daddy's money. They don't realise the importance of education. I don't expect children to be worried about their furture per say, but at least give a damn.
They'd much rather play outside instead of using their brains. It's very sad to see a child who is not ambitious or wants to do well. It's even more sad when they don't care.
I'm not saying all kids are like this and I am not saying that I was an angel - but at least I cared. I didn't have to be monitored, or asked a million times to do my work. Now a days, parents have to become the slaves to their kids.
Mom to child: "Here you go my eight your old boy, I'll spoon feed you with your homework. I'll even wipe your bum if need be."
