The Biggest Difference When I Was in High School and Now...
- The students did not have as big of a voice in decision making.
- The students are not as wild.
- I'm 14 years older.
- Students are more open and tolerant.
- The music.
- Mini-skirts, long hair, hippies, corvairs, air-conditioning, and money.
- Girls can wear blue jeans.
- Back in the dark ages, we could not wear makeup at all. There were no slacks in school or jeans at any school functions. Also sadly, no surfers.
- The students are more willing to work today for a reward than in the past.
- The dress code or lack of one.
- The dates...as time goes on one thing is sure, the date will change.
- The number of different clubs and extra career activities.
- I have more money.
- Students speak more freely and styles have changed but the same problems still exist in growing up.
- The teacher-student relationship. Today's teachers are concerned with the whole profile of a student not just his academics; students today are more open. They talk to teachers more frequently.
