If the rules are different and talking, singing or what ever are allowed and accepted, are they being disrespectful, or is it disrespectful for somebody to expect them to act the way things were in years past when the rules and guidelines have changed.
If there is a rule/policy about being quiet yes I would expect the rule/policy to be followed. If it isn't a rule/policy then no they don't have to be quiet.

How many times have you gone to a restaurant, only to have your meal ruined by some inconsiderate people that let their kids fuss and act out? When I was a kid, if I acted out I would be taken out of the restaurant, and potched on the butt. I learned quickly that if I did that, there would be consequences. It only took me once to learn that.
Too many parents are afraid to discipline their children. (And I mean discipline, NOT abuse).
How can kids grow up to be responsible people, if they are not taught that there are consequences to their actions? That's one of the reasons we are such a screwed up society now. Like I said before, "ME FIRST!" is what is being taught. And that is sad. Parents going to the school to complain about the teacher, who DARED to tell their poor little child to stop acting out in class, disrupting the entire class.
In my day, if I acted up at school, when I got home I got in trouble too.
If you don't teach them when they are young, there is a good chance they will end up in jail or dead when (IF) they make it to adulthood.
If my ideas are "old fashioned", so be it. None of my classmates killed anyone over being "dissed".
