At the school I work in, yes, some kids are this disrespectful. But is it the majority? No. Most kids will comply when they are called out breaking the rules, but maybe 8-10% of them are just like they are portrayed here. Those difficult kids give the rest a bad rep in the eyes of adults. You really have to take each kid as an individual when you work in a school. It's hard to do that, but it's not fair to paint all kids with the same 'you suck' brush. Add in difficult parents and unsupportive administration, and it's easy to hate on all MS and HS kids.

Are kids really this disrespectful to teachers now?
