In 2002, only 9 percent of adults said the children they saw in public were respectful toward adults. In 2004, more than one of three teachers considered leaving their profession or knew another teacher who quit. The reason? Students\u2019 \u201cintolerable behavior.\u201d So said Public Agenda, a nonprofit and nonpartisan research group.<\/p>\n
In 2005, 70 percent of people surveyed said, \u201cPeople are ruder than they were 20 or 30 years ago.\u201d Among the worst offenders were children, said an Associated Press-Ipsos poll. The reason, experts say, is because of what parents expect from kids. \u201cThe pressure to do well is up. The demand to do good is way down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dan Kindlon, a child psychologist at Harvard University, believes most parents want considerate, polite, well-behaved children. \u201cBut they\u2019re too tired, worn down by work, and personally needy to take up the task of teaching them proper behavior at home,\u201d Kindlon says. He says present-day parenting has more to do with training boys and girls to compete in school or on the soccer field, but competition doesn\u2019t teach civility.<\/p>\n
\u201cParents are out of control,\u201d says Dr. Alvin Rosenfeld, a child psychiatrist. \u201cWe always want to blame the kids, but if there\u2019s something wrong with their incivility, it\u2019s the way their parents model for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
