Some times it takes time from one generation to understand the next generation (or vice versa).
While we are having a headache figuring out what the younger kids want, the younger ones have the same feeling wondering how the heck can they please the older generation.
(Or more bluntly - why is it so hard to please them)
I had the privilege to speak to a person who though took time to share his teenage years' struggle to please his mother who means the world to him although he hardly confess that affection to his mother.
So relax a little and see it in a different angle with curiosity and yes while it feels rather hard to evaluate the students, connecting to them with a simple mind to just get to know them would eventually unlock many secrets to their thoughts and their heart.
