My moms 70 Barracuda had the gas filler behind the license plate. I think the 56 and 57 Chevys had the trick gas filler behind the taillight assemblies. These days, gas fillers are pretty mundane and no longer tricky. Filling up gas has got to be one of the most boring things that I did today. That's saying a lot!
I don't recall kids at large ever truly uniformly being a bunch of angels. There have always been kids who were troublemakers, smartasses, criminals-in-training. There have always been kids who weren't that way.

in my classes, i would take then back to basics and get them proficient, then build their skills and confidence from there. i couldn't make an "a" student out of all the "f"'s that came to me, but i succeeded more than 50% of them. and this was in spite of backgrounds/home environments that included all kinds of shit you never want to know about.
bad parenting doesn't help. but good teaching can and does change the equation. blaming parents is just the cop-out brainwashing used to justify the wholesale destruction we've seen of the public education system. and the fact that you don't know this indicates that you're a victim of it.
