I am not saying one should get a higher standard because maybe one already has that. I am saying that one is entitled to a high standard. Dr. Foley has said that young people today are lazy, inattentive and very difficult to deal with. The other day I read some material that claimed the same but it was written in 400 BC by a man called Plato. If young people have continued to deteriorate since that time then they must be awful nowadays.
