I hate pulling the generation card, but I remember growing up when my parents stood by the teacher when I was obviously wrong, and I’d later find out they thought the teacher was a moron, too. But we were just taught to respect authority. Today, kids are taught to question everything 'cause their parents will back them up with the “not my kid” excuses. Or the “I understand the rules, but they don’t apply to my kid” theory. And it carries over to when they’re adults.
