Time magazine=Millennials Are Lazy, Entitled Narcissists Who Still Live With Their Parents

121. I think this article is crap.

And I'm 45.

You know why I think it's crap? Because I teach on the university level, and I see kids come through every semester who work harder than I did at their stage. There are two things that make this particularly impressive to me:

1. No Child Left Behind. Millenials have really suffered because our generation and the ones before us have allowed schools to suffer terribly and teachers to be targets. I get a lot of students who don't even know how to study. I generally give advice about note-taking and studying the first day of class.

2. Consequences. We studied and worked because we felt like a college education was a guarantee to a good life. Millenials also work hard, but with the knowledge that it may all amount to nothing but debt. Yet they work anyway.

I'm certain that, given a window of opportunity, that millenials will be a transformative generation, in a good way.
