Look, I am a teacher and i can tell you, these are not just kids being kids. Having taught between grades 6 through 12, this is an epidemic. Sounds funny, huh? well, it is. The vast majority of kids i teach have no respect for authority or their elders. Why? because many parents today either had their kids when they were kids, never recieved discipline when they were kids so someone undisciplined cannot give what they do not have, or flat out do not give a crap as long as the kid leaves them be. Why else does popular culture have such an effect on kids. There is no one at home to emulate. It is scary, but you need a liscense to drive a car, but anyone can screw up a kids life. Parents just do not want to accept responsibilty for their children's actions. Speak softly and carry a big ole' wooden, monstrous, break it across your head and knock some sense into you stick....Right?:veryconfu
