Different interpretation to the words civility and respect these days.
Bingo!

Back in the day, Mom and Dad had a talk with me and my siblings: "don't get into trouble at school and complain to us about it, because if you do you'll be in twice as much trouble at home". And they meant it.

Back then, the behavior "problems" most prevalent in our high school was chewing gum in class, running in the halls, and being late to class. A few girls got in trouble for wearing skirts above the kneecap and/or wearing blue jeans.

How does that stack up to today?
