When I was in school I didn't even think about talking back to any of my teachers. My parents would have never allowed it and punishment would have been swift. Today's kids are rude, argumentative, and have absolutely no manners in class. This is the age where parents blame the school, the teachers and other kids in the class...everyone but their own kids for the behavior they display in school. No wonder the kids think they walk on water in school. They know the parents will defend them whether it's his or her fault or not. No consequences at home means bad behavior at school. Wake up!!
