Why are you expecting the world now to exist as it was when you were a child?

This has nothing to do with expectations - it's an inquiry into why something is worse now, without a clear justification.

Your only argument for why it's "worse" is that it was different when you were in school. Maybe it was "worse" when you were in school.
