Millennials are blamed for ruining almost everything these days. They're held responsible for messing with the diamond industry, department stores, and even the U.S. economy, according to various media outlets. Now they've been accused of coming for the classroom.
A recent article from the Times Higher Education written by an anonymous assistant professor accuses millennials of being unwilling "take responsibility" for their education.

"American millennials do not view college as a place to learn; rather, they see it as a place to get a kind of 'I'm certified and intelligent' tattoo that entitles them to start their professional pursuit of the American Dream – and start paying off the $140,000 of debt that I’ve known some MA and PhD students to get into."

Self-described "recovering academic" Jenny Bann on Twitter had a much different take on the matter. Shortly after the Times Higher Educationshared its story, Bann replied with a series of tweets about student conduct in the 1700s -- referencing a "collection of 18thC student disciplinary records" she once transcribed -- in hopes of debunking the notion that millennials are the worst to teach.
Just a few of the reported antics include breaking chairs, messing around with swords, and delivering drunken toasts.

Bann also shared links to the documents she cited, for those curious to learn more about the debauched students of the 1700s.
I think we can all agree that eating avocado toast is better than getting into drunken bar fights and wrecking furniture, so can we please stop pretending that millennials are the worst? And for the record, "millennial" is not synonymous with young. Plenty of millennials are in their 30s and have been out of school for quite some time.
