I don't know what the summer has in store for Bad Hall Director, but I hope you continue to post throughout.Shaneiferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803942549686024139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947716635081106735.post-1165729935585405972012-05-15T09:41:24.237-07:002012-05-15T09:41:24.237-07:00Ugh.

I'm 23, started college in 2006, and my 'generation' definitely did not have this sense of entitlement. In the last few years the scope of our society has changed dramatically...as you said, the Participation Badge Generation. Parents who babysit their children through all of life's struggles damage those children beyond repair, even if they do so with the best of intentions. Sometimes, in order to teach someone to fly, you have to kick them out of the nest. My parents support me, but they also knew I had to find my own path once I came to college. So they rarely interfered or meddled. When I was a freshman who had a problem with his bill? I called the office myself. I worked in our university's billing office last summer, and I can't tell you how many grad students - GRADUATE students - who had their mothers call me to talk about their bills because they didn't know how to do it themselves. <br /><br />It's sad. I don't think you're jaded. I think you're realistic.<br /><br />~ShaneShaneiferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803942549686024139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947716635081106735.post-87882922174258662812012-05-02T21:29:35.831-07:002012-05-02T21:29:35.831-07:00You are speaking of the same residents who come in...You are speaking of the same residents who come into my office, tell me they have a problem, and then they hand me their cell phone...with Mom on the other end. Yeah for summer semester and summer camps. While 6th grade soccer camp kids are often loud, I rarely hear from their parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
