Good article, and I agree with it wholeheartedly. My parents always make me call my friend's parents or my parent's friends Mr. or Mrs. whatever. And I was never taught that I should be given things just because. Of course you have to earn your grades. Also, I believe my parents always disciplined me properly. If I ever did something bad as a kid, my parents would always make sure I stopped doing what I was doing by one way or another. I literally can't believe people would ask their professors to boost their grade when they didn't even earn it. Oh and by the way Mr. Rogers was one of my favorite shows as a kid!
