I agree completely. My kids are generally good from double income working class families who do their best. Most of the parents and kids at our school are good, but in general the level of entitlement and lacking basic manners is astonishing to me. General human decency seems to be going away (holding doors for others, picking up something for someone when they drop it, letting someone go first, saying please and thank you, etc...)
