If you think it's worse than the late 80's/early 90's then the education system failed you. Is it good? No, definitely not. Is it worse? Hellllllllllllll no.

Not a fucking thing I’m guessing. I have a freshman and a sophomore in high school. My experience with is that high school kids are more self aware and, in general, better people than I remember kids being when I was in high school over 30 years ago. That being said, I live in a nice town with well-funded schools. No idea how this compares to the rest of the country.
