It's become part of our culture, I suppose. It's not just in the schools alone, but because the schools are so visible, it seems that way.
There are always going to be "bad" students and "bad" teachers. If a teacher cared more about their paycheck, they wouldn't be teaching because it's not a high-paying profession.
Kids also follow by example--parents do the same thing. People are so quick to judge the actions of teachers, they forget the primary influences are parents. We rely too much on teachers to to teach children the morals we believe children should have, when it's not the teachers' place to do so.
Society forgets teachers are human way too often.

I feel it is based on society and values inculcated in children. From childhood, the kids have to be taught to respect teachers. In India, teachers are still respected a lot and it is considered a nobel profession. It starts at the family where the parents have to stress to the kids to respect their teachers, bow and take blessings.
There cannot be one reason or source or one day suddenly when the students in schools started disrespecting the teachers... it is over a period of time the importance of values in society changed from a teacher's being a nobel profession imparting knowledge to students to being treated in the same category as any other profession...

When the states and federal government became more concerned with test scores and judging schools and teachers on how well or badly students perform on stndardized tests than with how much a student learns and how a student behaves in class.
When the school principals became afraid of parents.

When the parents stop backing the teachers and the aides. Parents stand behind their children. This started in the late 80s early 90s.

When parents stopped showing respect for teachers/aides and stopped demanding that their children show respect for ALL adults.

In 1962 when the U.S. government allowed prayer and the Ten Commandments to be removed from the public schools.
We've been paying the price for that fiasco for decades. Our society has been going downhill every since then because God has seen fit to remove His protection from our country.

When they found out we were no longer allowed to give them "swats". Fastest way to a smart-mouth child's brain is through his bottom side.
