So once again we blame the parents. This is ridiculous guys...
I'd sooner blame the schools.
I know one young lady who was suspended from school for over a week for trying to stop her teacher from being in a bad mood. Albeit she did insult him... unintentionally though.
She was forced to miss an exam or two. Which I believe is unfair, and I can assure you that her parents are strict. Infact, her father's incredibly strict that he scares even me!
If the kids are old enough to talk back, they're old enough to take responsibility for the words that come out of their mouths.
It could also have something to do with the company that kids keep. If they're friends are mouthy and good at misbehaving, then it's likely that they will, too.
Teachers at school these days have to be careful of how they punish the bad ones... and trust me - detention doesn't work. When I was at school, ok, I only had 2 detentions but they weren't that bad... infact, they were quite fun!
"People may say what they wish, but we are actually under no compulsion to listen." LJ, and I do so wholeheartedly agree!
