I'm a 'late boomer' and teach high school CS to the so-called 'entitled.' I can say from personal experience that while there is indeed a percentage who follow that modus operandi, the truth is that the current crop of high schoolers work a lot harder at their studies than I ever did, have more pressure to perform well on standardized tests than ever before, face a future marbled with inordinate debt obligations from their undergraduate and graduate degrees, and see a marketplace unsure about where, or if, their skills matter.

This article sucks and the author should be ashamed of herself for not doing better research into this generation before writing them off as a bunch of incompetent brats. They are far from it.

This generation represents our future lady. Disparagement might keep you employed by selling magazines and newspapers to a dwindling audience but encouragement rebuilds nations and economies and provides hope to the billions yet to come.

These are great kids. We should celebrate them. They play by rules 'we' have set for them and as I have said, they work incredibly hard against all odds. It is my belief they will ultimately drive a worldwide entrepreneurial explosion unseen before. Not out of greed, as this article incorrectly infers about their parents, but out of pure necessity. In that regard, they are very much like their grandparents just after WWII and we all know what that generation accomplished for us.

Agreed. There must be something about the gravitational center of my eyeballs that causes them to roll upwards toward the ceiling whenever someone refers to this generation as 'entitled.'
