All children will try to test boundaries, but today there just don't seem to be any boundaries.
Respect is not something that you can add onto a childs education......it has to be taught from babyhood....and really the people who most influence a child are its parents.
I was in town recently when a young woman in charge of a child of roughly 2 years of age, (who hadn't got hold of the childs hand) shouted at the child 'Are you F*****G stupid' when the child strayed into the path of a car on the car park......now that wasn't respect for the child,(after all it really wasn't the childs fault) and the child is going to grow up thinking that this is behaviour that is acceptable.
No parenting skills= no discipline= no respect = anarchy.

Must admit I agree, in the school yard recently i overheard a mother call her child a little b***h because she was playing up, very tempted to open my mouth but didnt.
