And what did the students of the 1950s end up doing with their lives? Smoking dope, protesting the war and listening to acid rock.

-------------------------------

In the mid '50s none of that existed. By the mid 60s the high school graduates of the mid '50s were too old to be hippies.

Many high school grads from the 50's and 60's served in Vietnam.

True, many of the 50's and 60's served in Nam and we bless them for that. Many of this generation will go on to use their hearts and brains for good, in spite of the terrible curricula and new world over influences. I believe there have always been good and poor students, motivated and lazy, outstanding and mediocre. It depends on the parenting, not the "village".

Most of the 50's kids joined up during korean war.
