I taught third grade in 1995 ( raising twins in 97). The children were much more respectful, and played outdoors way more often. I am currently teaching third grade again and I see a huge difference. Today, children are easily distracted, and have no confidence. Most children won't do a math problem independently, or have the stamina to complete a reading passage. Many children are disrespectful, they talk back to adults and don't know how to solve their own problems. Don't get me wrong, there are many good things about teaching in 2017.
