 The children now love luxury;
they have bad manners,
contempt for authority; they
show disrespect for elders and
love chatter in place of exercise.
Children are now tyrants, not the
servants of their households.
They no longer rise when elders
enter the room. They contradict
their parents, chatter before
company, gobble up dainties at
the table, cross their legs, and
tyrannize their teachers.
