7. A book on the sociological evolution of our Country for the last 40 years and its effect on today's

children would be interesting to read and discuss. The teen children probably have GenX parents, the latchkey generation and first not expected to have a better economic situation than the previous generation, teens born around or shortly after 911, grown up with social media, and a thousand etc. on the changes in or just realities of society.

I haven't seen as much as you. I have volunteered in and worked in schools but as a para sub mostly in elementary. I do wonder about all the ingredients of society that were blended together to create the atmosphere now. I was recently at an event which was attended by Webelo dens. The lack of respect toward the speaker, lack of politeness, of etiquette displayed by these 9 and 10 year olds in a program that teaches respect made me really reflect on this.
