"Some stuff came up"

[Minimalist]

So when 35 year old managers complain about 20-somethings it is our fault? Fuck that.

The problem is spoken of frequently over here.

And my newest friend, a recently retired Computer Science Professor, told me she was relived to retire two years ago because of late, the students refused to put in the effort and had no desire to learn why they were doing or learning any given skill. She said they just wanted the answers so they could pass the tests and get out of school. Cheating had become a daily concern. She found their communication skills at sixth grade level and their curiosity, nil. Not one to base my opinion on a sample of one, I queried other IT and CS teaching/training professionals. To a person, they complained of the same thing: Minimal effort for maximum demands and high expectations that once graduated, they would get six figure jobs and/or management positions immediately.

My son is 33 and works in a high school and he complains bitterly about "kids today." I laugh my ass off at him because he sounds like me and like my dad sounded. Still, he does make some good points.
