"Whether it's talking back to a teacher, failing to say please, chomping on chips during class or remaining seated for the national anthem--students today are ruder, sassier and harder to handle, teachers and school officials say. The American public seems to agree. A study last year [2002] by Public Agenda found that 79 percent of Americans think that the lack of respect and courtesy should be regarded as a serious national problem." (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article examines the problem of rudeness and incivility among young people in America.
