Children are rude to teachers in school, to the point that is intolerable

It has become commonplace for children to yell the F word at teachers, to throw things, or act violently. This causes injury to other students and teachers too often. This yelling, cursing and violence decreases the learning experience for all students. It also causes a dearth of qualified teachers. They simply don’t want to enter a profession where they have to contend with kids cussing them out routinely.
