    My wife is a college level teacher and she is continuously receiving disrespect and open challenges in her classroom. Fortunately it has not come to physical violence. But the environment created by a large number of students who have a bloated sense of entitlement is problematic. Feeling entitled all the time is a sure way to living a sad life divorced from reality.

      That’s wild to me. Where I went to college they’d be like “lol you’re expelled and we’re keeping your tuition. Being here is a privilege not a right.” Maybe, maybe you’d get one hearing if you were outright disruptive, but I honestly doubt it.
