Generation Suck

It's official, I hate my generation. But not for the normal reasons.

No, it's not their taste in music. It's not because they're entitled-the baby boomers had that in spades. It's not that they can't manage to spell correctly or use proper grammar on the internet.

I hate my generation because they have no idea what good teaching is. To students these days, a good teacher is one that teaches you directly from lecture notes that they provide to you ahead of time, then goes through and highlights specific areas they plan to put on the test. It's not a teacher who encourages thinking or does a good job explaining the material; it's a teacher that reads the powerpoint and bolds it properly.

Even more than that, every student's first response to a poor exam grade is to ask the teacher to curve the test and/or make the next test easier. There's never a consideration of "Hmm, maybe I should have studied more" or "Hmm, maybe my study strategy was off." No, it's always the teacher's fault. In fact, if the teacher misgraded the test and gave people extra points, most people's gut response is to tell them that "they have no right to lower my grade."

Actually they do, dumbass, you got the question wrong.

I thought this would just be highschool, then I thought it might just be early college, but now I see that it's going to last forever. God save the world that's going to have this generation in charge. I hope the guidelines to running the country come in study guides with bolded areas of importance or the United States President is going to fail utterly in a few decades.
