This divide between young and old is becoming more and more layered. I think one of my great shock points is how obvious it would be in an environment like this that I am old, and the reflection of the value it has in society. We simply do not live in a time where those who have experience with the past are much valued anymore. We are heading into the future and the past is somewhat irrelevant.
The teachers are having a rough time, not only because they are part of a changing, possibly irrelevant past, but because of the general turmoil in the newspaper print industry. A couple have been laid off from their newspaper jobs and took up teaching as one of their few options..
I guess I hoped too much...
