I know why this generation is so messed up! It's because our teachers allow us to be too lazy!
We're entitled because we're given such easy, monkey work, and not expected to do much critical thinking. Ideally, we should work to a point that you cannot graduate highschool without full comprehension of tensor calculus and group theory.
It only makes sense that we'll be smarter if we take what is to be expected of graduate students, and expect highschool students to do it instead. Think of how far ahead our graduate students will be!

I disagree with so much in this statement. First of all, with the public school system, it is the state that designs the curriculum, not the teachers. In many places the teachers are held back from teaching because of politics and parents who are more interested in seeing little Billy pass than learn something. Trust me, teachers want to teach. Second, while a more challenging curriculum would be nice, we have to be careful how it is implemented. School is a K-12 experience with everything build on itself. A new curriculum should be introduced at the Kindergarten level and have students work their way through it. If you just change everything in an instant, then you could screw up the current generation that is currently in school.
