text: In today's world students are proving to be more disobedient and disrespectful. This is mainly related to teachers trying to make students more independent and self relying, which is important, but can also be a challenge in the workplace and towards authoritative figures. Teachers are placing more student designed projects in their curriculum and in turn is showing students that everything in life will be suited specifically to their wants and needs, which is false. Teacher designed projects teach students to be independent and self relying, but they also teach them to research and learn and that some things aren't always specifically based on their preferences. A current event example that directly correlates to this problem is the phrase "boomer." This word is directed towards the Baby Boomer Generation and is used to describe the independent and self relying seniors who dont agree with the way the schooling system is operated. This generation lived in a time where authority was the key figure across the nation and it was not to be disrespected or major consequences would occur.
