UK - A boarding school head teacher has warned that children are being "mollycoddled" and are not prepared to put in the effort required in the world of work. Douglas Robb, 47, sparked a backlash from former pupils after accusing the so-called Snowflake generation of having an "underlying sense of entitlement".
Writing in a blog on the website of the £33,960-a-year Gresham's School in Holt, Norfolk, Mr Robb said he was worried that some young people lacked "grit" and "look down their noses" at certain jobs. Mr Robb added: "Grit is not a new idea, nor even a new buzzword. Grit remains, however, something that schools and parents seem to have failed to engender in large swathes of young people." His blog went on: "Among this generation there is an underlying sense of entitlement. I don't blame them.
"They have been advertised to since birth; they have had credit and loans on a plate; they have been overly molly-coddled; and they have been overwhelmed by a strange combination of fictional sit-com characters, reality TV and social media stars, who paint a picture of perfection to be achieved.
"They have even been encouraged by governments to believe that they deserve 'more' than their parents and grandparents had (capitalism, after all, requires consumers to always want to have 'more')."
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
