This makes me wonder again if school children are taught proper flag handling, folding and etiquette, as we were in the 1960's and 70's. In K-8 school, we always had turns doing Flag Duty.....Raising and lowering it and folding and storing it properly. We also had federal holiday observances at the flag pole if it involved veterans. In high school, various clubs took turns doing flag duty for the month (or some timeframe like that) like National Honor Society, FFA, FHA, etc. I think usually it was the American Legion who did the holiday observances and we learned a LOT that I didn't see our kids learning in school in the 1990s and early 2000's.
Here is a Girl Scout pamphlet on flag protocol, etiquette etc. Were your kids taught this if not in scouting?

I wonder about it when I see a flag with no lighting on it at night, or if it's drooping in the rain etc.
