I currently coach/manage an instructor who is 40 years older than me and has about as much teaching experience. He is therefore very set in his ways and is constantly comparing education today to when he was in school. He is always frustrated, saying that students don't have the same dedication or discipline these days. While I agree on one hand, I also see that the world is a different place, and these students have responsibilities and priorities that didn't exist 40 years ago. My question is, how can I get him to open his mind to the evolution of education and stop being such a curmudgeon?
