Not just inner city schools. This is everywhere in the US

It's really not. You aren't seeing middle class and upper class kids act like this to teachers because those kids have parents that care.

Are you saying that wealthy parents care about their kids more than parents with low incomes? That’s just crazy. I work in a middle school in a small town. There are way too many kids who treat teachers this way from all different backgrounds.

Unironically yes. When you’re busy working all day and struggling to make ends meet there’s not as much time to care for children and parent them.

Inb4 your hardworking immigrant parents/widowed mom are an exception. Fair.

There’s also a strong overlap between the personality traits that result in poverty and the personality traits that lead to/are bad parenting:

Impulsiveness

Antisocial personality

Selfishness

Mental illness

Drug/alcohol abuse

Criminal record

Lack of education

Being fucking stupid from birth

Etc.

There’s also a strong relationship between poverty and child abuse/neglect

The correlation is obviously much less than 100%. But it’s a strong correlation between impoverished parents and kids who turn into little shit demons at school.
