Since 1996? They've changed, yes. At least here they have. The educational format hasn't really changed--hasn't really changed in probably many, many years--but the kids have. I see elementary kids today and they are not the same as when I was teaching in '96. The kids now are wearing teen-type clothing by grade 5, so many are focused on having cell phones or iPods or some other gadget, I can't BELIEVE the amount of money parents are paying on their girls' hair--and I can't believe the types of things that girls are having done to their hair in grades 4-6. The girls in particular are trying to look like teenagers, who in turn dress in a way that they feel is 'grown up'. *sigh*

Even though I was only 3 or 4 at the time, I remember that elementary was much better than it is now because back then kids thought the sand box was more important than getting a boyfriend or girlfriend, which was good back then for parents. But now small kids have gone from addorable/energetic child to dumb/romance wanting freak. (sorry those last few words were the only ones I could think of using for description).

yes, because the children are completely different. They have different mentalities.
