It looks like my kids fall under this.  Who all have the same issue?

Not knowing the same stuff as you is much different than not knowing anything.

i wish i could wake in the morning and think of nothing but Rainbows and Butterflies

[Perrine]

this is golden for those who are control freaks and who can bend and manipulate information

I could go on about this but I have found laughing at them makes me feel better and they then want to learn so I dont laugh at them again. It keeps it a bit light too, they dont feel under pressure as much if I'm going to laugh at them as they do when I lose my cool.

having returned to university it saddens me to see that more than half of the kids in class can barely read and even less write a coherent paragraph.

... but they sure know how to program an ipod

You have it wrong Oak, having raised 3 and now 40+ I have realized that it is I that has forgot soooooo much since I was a teenage "know everythig highly experienced never wrong" superhero 
Now I'm content in the knowledge that as everyhour ticks away I lose more and more cerebral info and soon will be a vegetable! Where would we be without our pool of motivated  intellectual  teenage go-getters  ?


   I do love them dearly, doesn't mean I wouldn't like to kick them in the face sometimes

There are some good kids in my generation.

I think it's safe to say that the world will keep spinning even when the "know nothings" are in power.

Just remember who raised us

i would say it's the 80% know nothing Gen, there are alot of really great kids that have there futures planed out, but the others seem to be in this give me give me mentality, cellphones and Ipods as soon as they can talk and walk, heads stuck into MTV or Facebook, Myspace, instead of School work, would rather text there next door neighbor who's there best friend instead of just walking and having a Face to Face talk, i feel alot of parents have use electronics to teach there kids and babysit them or throw money at them instead of spending time with them and teaching them what they need to know
