An AM radio station host said, "I think one of our big problems in America today is that we have lost respect for authority, whether it be to the church, whether it be to the parents, to the ministers, to the law enforcement officers, to the teachers...They've tied the hands of the classroom teachers so that they can't demand the respect that they really need for learning."
You might guess that this is a recent quote. Actually, it's from a program I heard in June 1984. Certain perceptions--with elements of truth--are perpetual.
