I was mulling over this the other day. While I was in school it always troubled me…
The younger students these days don’t or didn’t seem to treat the members of staff (the teachers etc) with the same level of respect from back in ‘my day’.
I remember when I was just entering High School thinking that each member of staff was a God. Many of my peers felt the same, and manners were a must. We had to address the teachers properly, and generally behave. No answering back as such.
But in my last year or in Sixth Form I couldn’t help but notice that the students don’t seem to be so ‘controlled’. They’re always pushing it, answering back, manners are a rarity…
Perhaps I just saw the bad bits! I don’t know… I’m curious to what you guys may say.
Another point to this is, who has the right (in / preferably out of the forums) to earn your respect these days?
And while you were in school (or are currently in school), did you have respect for the faculty of your school?
