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.
