Things like morals and ethics education are being left to public workers to pass on. Children are less accountable to parents because many are busy working to support the household.
The one thing that young people do have in their favor nowadays is that they question authority, they do not take information at face value. They also expect to be respected as individuals despite their age and experience difference. It probably is the metamorphosis of a mentality shift llearned & passed down from the baby boomers. If we could only now teach them the ideas of appropriateness and to value experience but to keep a curious (almost cynical) approach. Kids nowadays are tougher, and also have a lot more to deal with at such young ages.
