Hi Jackie:
I was raised the same way. Although my teachers were very important,
they were not the ones who instilled my values or anyone elses, that I
can remember.
I know up until the day both my mom and dad died, I still would not have
dared to *talk back* to either of them. Not that I was afraid of them,
it just wasn't done.
And to talk back to a teacher, geeze, heaven help me if I had even tried
to do that.
But now the kids not only talk back, they get down and out nasty and
belligerent, to the point where the teachers are afraid of some of them.
And they can be very rude, without any compassion, and just plain mean
to kids who are in the least bit different.
Not all of the kids of course, but there are quite a few.
