Having said that, and you can ask any educator who's been in the field for over 50 years, the masses are not doing well. What kids could accomplish compared to those of today, it's a sad, sad situation. Again, I'm talking about the masses. Why? Too many factors to mention. Anyway, carry on carrying on.
Plus, the Internet is just for shits and giggles. I sort of understand that............. I mean....... Revscene............. nuff said.

All you have to do is look at popular culture and how it's changed over the decades.
Violence, sexual conduct, drug use, profanity. The same age brackets were watching leave it to beaver or i love Lucy. Listening to Ray Charles or patsy cline.
I don't have to tell you, MG, we call it progress.
We're surrounded by indecency and we wonder why people act...indecent?
The wife loves her Korean drama. Cultures that still respect the manner.
Beyond the manner, the vast amounts of choice have devalued just about everything. Music, programming, relationships..
Many researchers have also said technology is responsible for the drop in iq levels that developed nations have been experiencing since about the mid nineties.
