whats going on in your classrooms?   
I read this book on lulu called 'pet peeves of a teaching assistant'


http://www.lulu.com/content/1958845

where this one teaching assistant has reportedly had ENOUGH
and is about to blow her top over the lack of respect shown to
teaching staff

have you notice a gradual decline in the level of basic respect and
manners students now show to teaching staff these days or is the
writer losing her grip

I suppose that there has been a significant drop in manners throughout 
society around most of the world.  If you want a particular & consistent 
behaviour then you are probably disappointed in schools in business or 
in politics.  The least drop has been in politics but only because they 
started so far down.

I suspect the author is either young & naive or mercenary or both.

haaha...I loved that last bit where you wrote 'The least drop has been

> started so far down.'
Perhaps youve hit the nail right on the head..there has been a
significant drop in manners throughout society around most of the
world'
and the kids behaviour are only a mild reflection of that
the strong of us accepts that and move on,finding ways to adapt
while those of us, myself included,  who try to pray and obscess over
what has gone wrong and how it can all be fixed, only end up with
stress, heart aches and un necesary emotional torture..
we live in changing times and the sooner i accept that the better..
and find ways to adadpt myself..
