Sitting on the student side of the spectrum I often wonder how much of it is actual generational differences or just the older generation being, "well back in my day kids had respect!" as they wave their canes in the air haha. Seriously though, I think it is important that we have this kind of conversation because it can make the world of difference in the way students are learning and where the future of education is heading. I wish there were more students involved in the conversation. How else can we understand students unless people my age are giving input too and not just acting as specimens in a petri dish to observe.
