Respect and Responsibilty

I think that it is a shame the lack of responsibility and respect that students have towards life in general. I believe it is a problem among our entire nation. The problem is, how can we expect our youth to be responsible and show respect if adults do not do the same, including our countries leaders. I feel that it is the responsibility of educators to give the students an environment that helps prepare them for adulthood by installing a respectful atmosphere. Teachers must be careful not to cross a boundary, however, that would get them in trouble with the law.
