The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Source for the curious:

"Schools of Hellas" by Kenneth J. Freeman is an essay on the practice and theory of ancient Greek education written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work spans the period from 600 to 300 B.C., exploring various systems of education in ancient Greece, particularly in cities like Sparta and Athens.
