It's the way people parent now-a-days. In our day, we'd get our asses handed to us by our parents for even looking @ the teacher cross-eyed. Now, parents are encouraging their children to talk back to the teacher if the child feels like it.
I had a 6th grader tell me that he wasn't going to do any effin thing I said because his mom said if a teacher "doesn't give respect" don't give any back. All I asked him to do was stop playing his instrument and do the worksheet he was assigned.
My mom was yelled at by a parent for saying 'stupid' in class. She never directed the comment to the student, instead she said something (to the entire class) like "i don't care if you don't like this assignment or think it's stupid."
Parents need to get back into the habit of whooping their kids butts for getting out of line.
