One of the most important things you will pick up in school is how to tell what is important to your teacher. This teacher does not like remarks like that--this is good to know. And, the better you are able to tell what someone over you wants/expects/likes, the better you will do--no matter what job in what field you have. I'm not telling you to be an apple-polisher--just be aware of what is important to your teacher/boss/whatever....(Answered by Rita S)

I was never really disrespectful as a child. I was quiet and polite. Why are so many disrespectful nowadays? Lots of people say, "Ah, kids will be kids." But there is a definite difference between regular kid behavior like joking around and outright disrespect that includes profanity and violence. My theory is that alot of kids are latch key kids nowadays. Nobody is there to raise them because both parents are working trying to make ends meet in today's tough economy. The kids then don't get a chance to have a role model or learn what proper behavior is. You see alot of bratty outright disrespect on Yahoo answers. The sad part is that some of it might even ...

I actually have a theory on this! I think some of the problem has to do with growing informality in society. Our manners (from table manners to public behavior) have become lax. Children call their parents' friends by their first names. Written communication disregards rules of standard usage. In oral language, slang is acceptable in almost all situations. Clothing choice is less formal, whether you're going to church or school or the movies. Because of this, teens and young adults don't know where the dividing lines are between informality and disrespect. When I was ...(Answered by getemjan)

It's funny but I used to tell my son when he got out of hand that I was going to send him to military school. However, if your daughter is disrespectful to you it does not neccessarily mean that she won't do it their either, and if your paying thousands of dollars for her to go there it would be a shame to lose your hard earned money because she got kicked out. Perhaps you should be looking in to boot camps instead, they deal more with the adolescent behavior and it's not as costly....(Answered by chiantamack)

What do you think about this situation with a teacher? I was a member of the speech and debate team, and I was signed up to go to the national qualifying tournament, but I had no ride. I told the coach, but he just brushed me off. Later of, I sign up for sure and hand in my form (trying desperately to find a ride) when he says "Oh, its in pencil" in a bitchy tone. Then he says to me, "Oh, your wearing a tie so you know, and a shirt that does not look like a tent". He was been disrespectful to me before, but I just brushed ... (Asked by sitboy23)

I think he did put you off the whole idea deliberately. OK, it was your decision to quit, but because he was not encouraging. I don't see that you did anything to make yourself popular here! I think he was wrong to ignore your skills as a debater, and it is a hard thing to hear. But weren't you expecting him to do all the work to book you in, and pretty casually too, at the last minute? You wanted him to copy out your details, organise your transport, and tell you how to dress. Then when he's later ...(Answered by WomanWhoReads)

Young teenagers engaging in sexual activity, is this the norm? Please help me to understand. I ask for no inappropriate comments and please do not be disrespectful. I am simply asking a simple question. ... (Asked by kajames3790)

I waited until I was married (when I was 27) - and wow was it worth it! But unfortunately (in my opinion) too many people are engaging in sexual activity at a younger age - I'd be surprised (by hey I am old) if it was lower than 14. This has been linked to the rise of sexual transmitted diseases, abortions and loss of fertility (due to chlamydia). I also believe (from friends who work in counselling) that it has a knock-on effect on people's self-esteem. But I'm sure people will rubbish me. The real question isn't "is this the norm" ...(Answered by bobbathejobba)

Okay JW... you were being abit goofy by the sounds of it but there was no harm intended by you. Teachers don't like students to say things like..."you lied" even in a joking way. It's unfortunate because sometimes you think they are able to take a sarcastic remark and you mean no harm but then wham... you get a conduct referral. You did the right thing by going back to your teacher and saying sorry and offering to help out with something for her but unfortunately she has moved on with this and figures it is done. ...(Answered by smilingmick)

How do you feel about students throwing up their hats at graduation? At the high school in my town graduating seniors are forbidden from throwing up their hats at graduation. They are given many talks and are told it's disrespectful to their teachers. They are told that it's saying "hat's off to education" I attended the graduation last night and two students were thrown out in the begining for high fiving and waving, then not allowed to participate and/or watch the rest of graduation. Then four students threw up their hats at the end and were told to walk out before the rest of the class. The police escorted them out. ... (Asked by x_spohia_x)

Who was your favourite teacher? My favourite teacher was Mr. Williamson. He always treated his students with so much respect. It was pretty crazy. I've never had another teacher like him. He was a fun teacher, very smart, and would stay after class as long as he needed to so that you'd understand a concept. Everyone in the class thought he was a good teacher. He never yelled at anyone, and there's only one time that I remember that he got mad. He looked at someone in my class who had been kinda disrupting the class, and told ... (Asked by Anonymous0001)

Do it very carefully so he doesn't think of you as a troublemaker that he is going to fix while grading a quiz. What you can say (and when you say it) depends on what the subject is. If the topics being discussed are matters of opinion you can be somewhat more open in what you say (unless he is really pigheaded). If they are science courses you had better have some real info to back up what you are saying because there aren't a variety of correct answers to choose from....(Answered by Rich Z)
