I can't help but totally, totally agree.
I'm an '85, and Beakmans World totally rocked my socks. I have definately noticed, and so have a year-level peers (and a couple years above) that the year levels underneath us, well, for the most part they're stuck up little bastards, to be honest. And it seems that they become more and more bastidious with each years intake. When I was 7th form (last year high school - not sure what that is in america) I would see 3rd formers (first years) mouthing off to seniors all the time. When I was a 3rd, that was simply unfuckingheard of! You... you just didn't! I have witnessed many times that the year levels below myself and my peers have a distinct lack of maturity and respect (I feel old now) and yes, I would say tv programming and other media contirbute to this reasonably significantly (I feel really old now).

Havn't seen an educational programme for years and years, unless it was aimed at toddlers/infants, or just plain earthshatteringly boring. Bring back Beakman.
