Why students are so disrespectful towards their teachers at present?

When a good deed of the sincere teacher goes unnoticed and unheeded , naturally the teacher' hearts sink. A kind of indifference takes over.

Children today are moving at such a great pace...There is so much exposure...Internet, satellite TV, vedio games Influencing their lifestyle so much that it Is actually a  matter of great concern. Even these so called kids channels on TV show such serials that they are anything but influence ...Just the other day Isaw In some channel as I was surfing throughtthe channels, an animated serial showing  the teacher sleeping and the kids were copying in the exam to their hearts content. What can children learn from these. When we were in school, some of our teachers were also unnecessarily harsh at times. Dont think that made us disrespect them. Children today need guidance. It is for us adults to see what we want our future generation to be!!

I agree ! But at the same time we have to realise that we cannot change the society since it is made up of all kinds and world has now become much smaller with information and ideas being shared easily.As a result there is bound to be influences both good and bad being shared and the only way we could counter that would be to make the students aware and also prepare them to make the right choices for themselves,In effect make them responsible for themselves, that is the only way we can handle adverse and negative influences that may hinder the progress of a student.

The best way is to allow the children to act on their own  under your watchful eye. Parents should not interfere if things are going well.
