I am about to finish my 8th year teaching high school history (I'm 31). I have noticed a change in just that short time. This year alone I've had 10 students hospitalized and/or sent temporarily or indefinitely to some sort of special program. I don't doubt that their problems are real, but you have no resiliency or coping skills to handle their shit.

I actually just received an email from one of my college professors lamenting the change he's seen in the current crop of kids and it's all the same stuff that frustrates me. 

In terms of the online grade book, I've had more positive than negative experiences. We can actually check how long it's been since the parent last viewed the grade book. *So far* I've received nothing but support from my administration if a dispute over grades has occurred. I also send weekly emails home to parents reviewing the week and listing due dates for the next week.

I also teach in the town where I grew up and many of my former teachers are now my colleagues. We've discussed this at length and they have said there is a difference between my end of this generation and the kids we currently have. I suspect a lot of it is their parents. Most are Gen Xers and many were sort of left to their own devices growing up---I'm generalizing of course---so they've vowed to protect their children from any hurt, harm, or disappointment. But the result has been kids that have no sense of responsibility or ability to deal with failure and being told no.

That said, my most rewarding teaching in the past 2 years has been with my lower level and ESOL students. Teaching them has been such a refreshing change. It has it's obvious challenges and I'm fortunate to usually have another ESOL or Special Ed teacher with me, but they're consistently my favorite classes to teach. I teach everything from low-level US history to AP world History.

Perhaps I'm too optimistic, but is like to think that when kids my son's age are in school things will start to improve. Of my friends who have kids, I don't know anyone who lets their kids run the show or doesn't hold them accountable for their actions. I have a 4 year old and I'm due with my second in a few weeks. Here's hoping we can start to reverse this pattern because it does not bode well for these kids in the future.
