That's a very interesting observation. Looking back at all the "changes" in the public school system and the fact that kids are seemingly no longer punished for misbehaving in class for example, I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Can't expect kids to respect the educational system and authority when their parents didn't when they were growing up, and don't respect it today.
I think you're today's top post.
Well I did, then...but I certainly have no respect for the RATagandist union-thug teachers, and their army of six-figure educRAT parasites.
