“In fact, for the first time in American history, the majority of parents do not think that their kids will be better off than they were. This is true of rich and poor, men and women. Now, some of you might hear this and feel sad.”
“This quote from the Ted Talk did make me question something. Why would parents think of their children this way. If/when I have kids I want to raise them the best I can to go out and become better off than me. I would have thought that all parents would try to raise their kids to be as successful or better than they were and not thinking that their kids will not be better off than they were and to me that’s terrible. I feel exactly what the quote says”
