Parents are one of two ways.
Either coddle kids and give anything they want or do not give nothing to them and the kids are either used to getting their way or are rebelling against them.
When they get to college, they want to do what they want to do. So is it the School or the GLOs responsibility to baby sit over them?
So, where does the problem stem from?
Kids going to school now do not like to live in rooms with one or more people. Kids are used to having cable, phone, and lots of plug ins just like home!
It seems it has become a "ME" attitude society.
Schools are changing dorms, new GLO houses are being built the same way.
Our new house has all of the above with 2 to a room and a common shared bathing area for another room!
Figure the cost of building a new house now!
PSU, KS. not counting the land was 3/4 Million! The New LXA House.

Tom, its 2007......cable, "plug ins" and a phone are pretty much a requirement. I've had plenty of classes that heavily utilized online resources, email, tv programming etc. Utilizing available technology doesn't mean we are a self absorbed "me" society.
Also, I think your discription of parenting today is rather off base. Basically you are saying that parents either give their kids everything or treat them like crap, hence they either get their way all the time or basically hate their parents. Tom........that is absolutely ridiculous and I honestly don't think you would actually believe that that is the way it is.
