“Children love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants … They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company … and tyrannize their teachers.” Bill Sheridan, CAE
