Ehh. I don't want to be snarky, so let me politely ask you if you have any kids of your own or if you work with kids on a daily basis?

Yes. And yes. Good try, though.

In that case a more in-depth insight would be welcome.

I can't lay claim to easy insight here. My push is that thinking it is "lack of respect" is itself looking for an easy answer.

If I have anything close to insight, it is if you want respect from kids, start respecting the kids. And don't have rose colored glasses to how much respect we showed as kids. We seem to put this narrative forward that we followed rules way more closely as kids than we did. Which is unfortunate not the least because we had way fewer rules in many cases.
