I have the solution to the socialist state problem: Batman can be the leader. Wouldn't work. Batman is, very clearly, a fascist. But he's incorruptible! And he's been the same age for what, 30 years now?

Yeesh. Although, I have to wonder... does the second really happen all that much?

I just have a hard time accepting that human nature has changed in 50 years. I have a much easier time accepting that it's a false past. But it is interesting to see the 60s as the ideal age instead of the 50s.

But it is interesting to see the 60s as the ideal age instead of the 50s. I would disagree, as it is not really the human nature but the culture that has changed. Many parents are a lot more over protective of their kids it today, granting them less and less autonomy. I would say that a reasonable side effect of that over protection is the idea that if their kid isn't doing well in school, it is because the teacher is doing a bad job. Though I hasten to add that, in my experiences as student, I saw more parents getting lippy with teachers over punishments rather than grades. IE, they can believe their snowflake got a "D" but not that he told another kid to "fuck off" in the middle of class.

It's part of the growing concept that teachers are just glorified babysitters with weekends and summer off. The whole 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach" bullshit.
Besides the fact that we get to spend our weekends building 15 lesson plans per week, from a curriculum we had to build from useless M. of Ed. guidelines, we spend our summers as students getting ABQ's and courses that help us keep students from killing each other.
While I admit there are some pretty bad teachers out there, if the teacher is (as most are) a decent one, the fault for a failing grade is usually the student simply not giving shit (given room for LD's obviously).
