Today, while at my tutoring job, a middle school kid couldn't find a word in the online dictionary. I told him he could check a regular paperback dictionary. His response was, "That's what you did in your day. That's not what we do in our day." I'm only 19. FML

Ah, the new generation. They worry me. -_-

Lol... I remember playing that game where you saw a page number on the bottom of a dictionary page and followed that clue to another page with another number and so on until you ended up at a picture of a penis or some other sexual word circled... But yea... now I just use my phone to look up something... wireless internet is the best.

you so deserved it really how do you think people older then 19 feel with dealing people your age same difference

Ya. I went through that already. There were a lot of tantrums and tears with my kids teaching them how to USE a paper dictionary.

lol Oh wow I'd want to disconnect the power from the computer and then see how he fares. Certainly, using a computer is important in today's world, but what if there's a power outage? Students should know how to use the "old timey" things like dictionaries and encyclopedias. That's as bad as fast food employees not knowing how to make change if their register doesn't tell them the amount.

Oh suck it you pussy! Just some punk kid. Smack him up side his perra head!

Tell him to look up his name in urban dictionary. wtf word was he trying to look up? Even slang words in egyptian are on the internet. FYL indeed. My life would suck too if I had to tutor a stupid ass middle school kid.

dude... dictionaries are hardback

Dude....dictionaries also come in soft cover editions.

This is when we wish we could go back to the times when teachers could hit students with yard sticks.
