@CookieCrisp Hmmm .... thinking back to the to the 50s, with a kid in the street, most drivers simply stopped rather than serve around them.
I remember as a 9 or 10 year old riding my bicycle to school with my school stuff in the front basket. I hadn't secured it well and the papers started to fly out. Reaching to grab the papers I lost control of my bike and fell in the center of the roadway. A car directly behind me stopped and the driver got out of his car and singled oncoming cars to stop. Then helped me get up, checked that I was OK and helped gather the papers and scattered school stuffed and after a few minutes had me on my way again with but a minor scrape on my elbow.
It would probably be the same if it happened today. But maybe not as likely.

Not always, teens can be rebellious as it is and learn from other teens. And in situations where one parent is resentful of the other they will teach them to have bad manners and disrespect especially if the situation has gotten so bad that a divorce is the result.

Apparently what happened at PS102 in 1955 stayed at PS102? And PS103, and PS104, and ...
"Blackboard Jungle" and "Rebel Without a Cause" may have been movies, but they were movies inspired by what was going on at home and at many of our public school.

True. Though society in general has moved away from disciplining children. Especially in American schools.

Interesting viewpoint, that the child is always right regardless.

I PRAY you're not a public school teacher. Certainly you couldn't get away with that stupidity in a Florida school.
To bring you up to speed with history (since it's apparent you dropped out of a blue state school at an early age) people have been accusing kids of having no respect throughout history. It has always been a generational complaint, and it has always been true.
Kids don't know enough to be able to judge someone as deserving respect. They are kids. That's why they are in school, to LEARN things.
If a kid tells me that Adolf Hitler (the hero of the Democrat party) was a saint, he's full of shit. It's not a matter of maturity. The kid is just plain wrong.
To bring you up to speed with reality, there is such a thing as right and wrong.
Since you are a far left winger, you're mostly WRONG.
