fully agree with Mr. Horsefall’s letter regarding the behaviour of our youngsters.
I travel to Sydney for work every Tuesday afternoon catching the train from Gosford.
While I wait with my luggage, hundreds of Gosford High school students fill up the platform and as soon as the train arrives, they rush ahead to the door, not giving any chance for an elderly lady like me to get in first.
Once they get in they don’t obey any social distancing, are loud, scream at the top of their voices, put their dirty shoes on the seats and in general behave disgustingly.
I wrote an email last week to the school principal complaining about this so called elite, selective school student behaviour and you guessed it, no acknowledgement and no answer to my letter.
If this is what is taught in our schools, I feel sad for the future of our beloved Australia.
If we don’t have respect, graciousness and kindness towards our elders, what are we left with?
