In blaming schools they kinda skip over the havoc demographic changes in those schools has wrought on the average results.

American schools used to be on par with European schools. Now we have some that are on par with African schools and Latin American schools.

Puts us closer to the global average vs the European average.

Of course this celebrated diversification has also introduced new cultural values into the system. And that has affected all students.

Throw all kinds of shit into a melting pot and you'll get an alloy that may be less valuable than its individual components.

But putting that all aside, Boomers interpretations of Gen X work ethic is no different than what the Greatest generation thought about Boomer kids. This trend goes back in time for eons, yet societal progress and quality of life improvements remain on a fairly steady upward trajectory.

As far as leaving the world better for your children goes, did the Greatest Generation not kick the North Korean problem down the road far enough for them to develop nuclear weapons that can reach our shores? They were tired of fighting and the victory at any cost mantra of WW2 we celebrate them for left them willing to accept a stalemate that future generations could deal with.

Of course after they accepted a stalemate on the Korean Peninsula that shaped the conditions to leave with losses in Vietnam, and elsewhere.

On a personal level I failed with all three of my kids to instill a strong work ethic. I could have been more authoritarian I guess, but I never tried to shove my worldview down their throats and always left them to come to their own conclusions. And I think that was kind of a break from traditional parenting.

Basically I think Gen X experienced more freedom of thought than previous generations had, and of course they were subject to a heavier dose of leftist indoctrination from both the school system and Madison Avenue.

But ultimately they chose what to believe and how to live their lives. I dont think its the previous generation's responsibility to protect them from their choices.

RT,
You write - On a personal level I failed with all three of my kids to instill a strong work ethic.

I respond - Me too, my friend. Actually, it's not that my kids don't work hard. They do. But it is frightening how they don't read and form larger thoughts, and how they pick things apart without understanding what they are.

I let them decide what they want to be and they don't understand the Bible. They just pick at it.
