“...that the children have no respect for adults.”
A growing trend in the US....all across the US!
A problem even in my daughter’s midwest Catholic high school. It is because both parents and school administrators lack the courage to enforce the rules and apply the consequences written in their own handbooks.
Unfortunately, the kids are not THREATENED enough, to make them afraid, and the “rod” (mentioned in the Bible) is not taken to them!
Proverbs 13:24
24 He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

Proverbs 23:13-14
13 Do not withhold correction from a child, For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
14 You shall beat him with a rod, And deliver his soul from hell.
