Thomas Smith discusses Generation Z and details issues that explain why they may be different. 54% of kids today do not have both biological parents at home which can impact their values. Some parents have a hands-off mentality and don't guide their children as in the past. Lack of communication and the ability to access information via the internet can negatively affect student and teacher/coach relationships. Regardless of this environment he thinks today's kids are brilliant, more accepting, and ready to overcome all issues.
