Believe it not, they survived. What made teachers better then? Schools were BETTER then?

Serioulsy, how were SCHOOLs or teachers better then?
Kids respected/feared teachers...and our parents backed them up! if you messed up in school the teacher took you in the coat room and "fixed" the problem...then, when you got home, the 'ol man fixed the problem again. Chances are you never messed up again. Today the 'ol man calls the lawyer...and the kid packs a steak knife in his back pack.
