I feel like USA is getting dumber and losing common sense? What countries are opposite of this?

I've thought about this myself on multiple occasions. I think the sudden "dumb streak" can be explained by a sheer lack of morals. My niece is in high school now, and she always tells me that kids in her generation seem to talk a lot about drugs and sex. Of course, not every kid is like this, but as for the majority... Anyways. We all just need to open our eyes to the real world. I've traveled the globe, and I've seen things that I can never forget- things that people back home never even think about, because they're busy complaining about Trump and Hillary. As for countries being the opposite of this?... Eh. They're all the same, or at least will be at some point in time. Just think of this time as the USA's dark ages.

Okay first of all your reasons are very dumb.

Secondly, if the school sends home something say "your child cant wear tanktops.." many parents abide and tell their children they cant. I haven't heard any complaints about the school dress code. At least not from the parents. Most of my friends just wear sweatshirts and Pants over their clothing so they dont get caught. The Parents do say something but kids can be sneaky. Thirdly, I have NEVER heard a parent say the school is sexualizing girls.. what are you even talking about.

Next, you say that parents are friends of the child and that is not true. For the most part I hear parents say you AREN'T supposed to be their friend.

Please, PLEASE get better reasons. You would have failed the Argumentative Writing Assignment in 8th grade. At least in the USA but we are getting dumber anyway.

1. Dress codes ARE stupid. To a degree. I do NOT agree with booty shorts and midriff tops, but if a student is in clean clothes, jeans and a t-shirt with Hello Kitty or Batman, why ISN'T that acceptable for so many schools now? All the schools say it's cheaper for us. HOW?? We now have to buy 2 sets of clothes and do twice as much laundry...which means almost twice as much laundry detergent, almost twice as much water, almost twice as much electric, not to mention gas, to wash those extra clothes. Many parents simply can't afford two sets of clothes, so they put their child in what that child already owns.

2. You CAN be a friend to your child AS WELL AS a parent. Some parents just lean WAY to one side or the other. Either being a friend and not knowing how to parent (then they wonder why their kid is misbehaving...umm...because YOU taught them that!!), or being so strict that when something serious happens they get angry (if you'd talked to your child, maybe he/she would have told you what was going on instead of hiding it).

3. Many are so against spanking (spanking and beating are two ENTIRELY different things!), that shaming them online is the best discipline they can think of because "they've tried everything else."

I think you are getting jaded dealing with the lower socio-economic group you are dealing with on a day to day basis. These issues don't come up working at a private school. Consider a job change.

The entire world is upside down.

We've all gone crazy. It's best to just play along...
