I went to a so-called 'progressive' school, but the levels of respect were already sliding fast. Surely discipline and a modicum of order is conducive to learning? Many of todays school teachers are as bad as the pupils. Where did it go wrong?

I don't think discipline was at the root of only 6% of people graduating 50 years ago, that was probably more a matter of elitism and excessive deference.
I don't advocate whipping and victorian methods of instruction, only disicipline. To make it known that school is place of learning with respect only where it is due. That means fair treatment for all and a everyone achieving his potential, sounds utopian I know.
But after all, if values can't be instilled in school, then where?

Our schools never were all that good, but the average student use to be better, because we now keep more under achieving students in school. Also the composition of the student population has changed because the middle class have fewer children than the poor, so 1/3 of the children in school are from deprive backgrounds. Comparisons present and past performance rarely take this into consideration, so it looks like returning to the methods of a previous time would work better. We need to do better, and more orderly schools would be a good first step, but achieving this is not as simple. as doing thing the way we did 50 years ago when only 6% of people graduated from college

Yes, exactly.
It went bad with the DEA.
Jimmy Carter's idea.
The Teacher Unions have destroyed much of our school system.
