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.

My parents encouraged me to stand up for myself (and clearly, I have no problems doing that haha), but also made sure my sisters and I knew to respect our elders/authority figures. If I felt that someone was out of line, there are better ways to address the issues.
"I'm curious to know why you want me to finish this assignment when I completed it already"
works better than
"Bitch, I'm not doing this shit. I did it already! Kiss my ass!"
ETA: And, yea, beat your kids' asses from time to time.
