Are You Up For A Few Good Stories About Students?

As an old man I find myself sometimes saying, "Kids these days" or "When I was your age".  

I don't know if you can relate but it is hard not to get swept up in the frenzy of comparing kids these days to when we were young. 

I think it is human nature because I remember my parents and other adults saying those exact same things when I was a kid. 

But if I take a step back and think about this generation of youth, I realize they were not so much different than I was.  

Don't get me wrong there are some things that are different.  I did not have a cell phone.  Heck we did not even have the internet.  I sometimes tell my students that, "I am older than Google".  They don't believe me but it is true. 

But my basic interest and concerns when I was younger if the same to this generation.  I want to be accepted but I don't want to stick out.  I want my independence but I still need security.  School is important but I would trade a great grade for attention.  

This generation is not that much different than we were.  To be honest they are better in some ways as well.  

In my latest video I share some stories where this generation has not only proven to me that they are okay but they have surprised me with their kindness and responsibility.
