The document discusses disrespect between students and teachers in American classrooms. It finds that incidents of disrespect toward teachers have increased five times from 2009 to 2011. Student and teacher perspectives on disrespectful behaviors were collected through surveys and interviews. There were differences found, with students seeing some behaviors like entering class late as more acceptable than teachers. The top disrespectful acts according to students were entering class late, grooming, blocking pathways, sleeping, and talking about teacher's clothing. Teachers saw sleeping in class, joking with teachers, entering class late, and making noise outside class as most disrespectful. Bridging the gap between student and teacher mindsets could help address disrespect issues.
