Back in my days when the cane was around, children seemed to have more respect for their elders. It was something dreaded at school, and the embarrassment of anything worse like detention or suspension (not to mention your parents giving you another hiding when you got home) was unthinkable.
Now children speak to adults with disrespect, there is no punishment at school, if you break the rules you get to hang out in the office or pick up garbage which is better fun than going to class anyway and if you're really bad you get extra holidays! Your parents can only talk to you so that you don't report their "abusive" behaviour and get taken away, and when you get older if you screw up, well your parents cop the rap for not disciplining you!
Where are the adults rights?
