Judge Posner

“Modern American kids, it seems to me, have excessive self-esteem,” said Judge Richard A. Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, inChicago. “They’re spoiled and coddled. Many of them have very aggressive parents.”

The judge, a conservative nominee of President Ronald Reagan who is considered one of the leading intellectuals of the federal appeals courts, spoke Nov. 11 in Chicagobefore the national conference of the Education Law Association. That group is made up of professors who teach education law, as well as practicing lawyers and school administrators.
