One educational expert suggests children are growing more narcissistic- and it's creating problems for teachers.
Columnist and former teaching academic Jenna Price wrote a piece in the Sydney Morning Herald claiming children have gotten more rude and entitled in recent years.
She says children being brought up in Western cultures are being taught to be aggressive and disagreeable by parents enabling bad behaviour.
"We've either got to pull ourselves together and get our kids to be a bit more empathetic, a bit more understanding, a bit more able to see the other person's point of view, or we are going to have a nation run by a bunch of narcissists."
