I fully agree. Every year, teachers are facing an incoming cohort of kids with reduced morals, respect and motivation. Teachers are supposed to be part of the solution, not the only solution. Your stories of younger teachers high-fiving kids just seems (to me) to be them trying to connect in a different way to what was acceptable a quarter century ago.
When you get a legal system with teeth and parents who care, that's when you can start complaining about teachers' methods that you don't agree with.
