what about the parents and teachers?

  They're getting ruder also, just not as fast.

    I would say that they are getting more tolerant. At the risk of appearing promotion of domestic abuse, my parents resorted to cane when I was not acting “socially acceptable”. Presently, children resort to tantrum if parents do not bow down to their whims. I understand that violence is not an answer, but some methods of discipline is relevant. Also I can claim to be old fart now and get the privilege to say, back in my days, children would show some manner in public places and had the decency to respect others in their surrounding, while kids these days are like somekind kind if weird world where they pretend that no one matters around them. I experience this utter disdain for elders everyday when I am out at public places. My parents rewarded obedience and civil respectful behavior, an incentive that I see entirely missing. Also, parents these days are also hands-off, while the kid is whacking another in the playground, the moms are too busy scrolling through the insta/tiktok, so it is definitely a lot of factors in the end.

    May be not, it could be just new normal. Reading old books I noticed how nicely people are talking to each other. But it may only sound nice by modern standards while being actually the same by old.
