- 22. Not Everyone Agreesno wonder kids these days are this way
me me me -so entitledSo everybody gets an award and nobody learns
anything about the competitive real worldthis is why the children
of today have become the lazy,uncaring adults of tomorrow.You can
only get better by playing a better oponent (sic). By takeing(sic)
away the motivation you end up with the disgruntled youth oftoday
who sit around and do nothing.This is the same attitude that has
principals puinishing (sic)bullying victims rather than the
bully.he is just a socialist principal with a feminist agenda
