As a teacher I can tell you that if people would quit questioning authority so damn much, and start listening to people who know more, and have been through the same things and learned to succeed, they would be a lot more successful. One time in a thousand that rebellious attitude is proven right, but every young turk always feels they know more than the geezers.
