When a child's behavior disrupts class and deprives other students of the right to learn is the parent guilty of failing to properly teach the child respect for others?
What if parents were fined or sentenced to community service?

It does sound like a good idea, but if a child is acting like this from lack of teaching from a parent who has to work all the time, then how do you get that same parent to do community service?
Better yet lets just make kids responsible for there own actions and quit blaming everyone else for how they act etc.

Depends on why the child acts that way. Could be from his/her home environment or could be from physiological problems. If the parents are the 'blame' for the child's behavior or inability to behave, the parents are sure to be contacted by school authorities and try to deal with the problems as they occur. Unfortunately, for the child and the school, the school has no control over the 'parents' behavior. Now, can you imagine a disrespectful child's, disrespectful parents being punished for the child's acts at school? I believe the school tries to do as little as possible to not injure the child further in those cases...they 'recognize' a bad home environment by the words and actions of the parent during conferences regarding disruption.
The child is the one who ultimately gets punished either way. Unfortunately.

IF the parents are fined ans sentenced to community service, how is the child going to learn to take responsibility for their own actions??? This kind of mentality will only teach a person they can act up and their parents will pay the price for it..

Where I live parents are responsible and can be fined. But if they show that they are really trying and the kid isn't doing his/her part, then the parent is not at fault. For instance, if teen has a habit of skipping school, and the parent can't force the teen into the car, the parent can go to the school office and sign in, showing that the parent came but the teen wouldn't. This leaves the teen open to legal action, not the parent.

it would seems to me the teacher should have her class under better control than that(when I was in school).... a student who acted up in class all the time--- was taken to the principal's office and the parent/parents was called in for parent/teacher meeting about the disruptive child.

Yes, I think so and I think that would be a great idea.
