It is not only the student which is arrogant but sometimes stubborn teachers make them arrogant. Each student has his or her own priorities and interests. So when a student state of mind is not understood by a teacher then he or she start finding alternatives and does not care about the teacher and are called as arrogant. It is a part of teacher- student relation and is very natural as a teacher cannot focus on all the students in a class.

I think it's very easy for older generations to blame younger generations, which just criminalizes the whole crowd. Teenagers are always somewhat rebellious and occasionally disrespectful in some way, no matter the time period.

I agree with you. Adults should know that teenagers have the tendency to be arrogant and be rebellious in that certain phase of age. I mean, as adults, they went through the same thing. Teachers and parents should be try to be understanding to a fault. They have to understand but they have to tolerate abuse and borderline disrespect.

may i ask what "group" of students you are directing your topic toward? and what exactly is your definition of arrogant? i personally think a teacher who cant maintain control and respect in the classroom will eventually, indirectly, encourage unrully behavior. it is the teacer who should control the class not vice versa. having gone to college, i have had classmates 18-60 y/o! Some were older than the teacher, so "todays students" can an do cross several generations. finally, arrogance. that can be a flaw on both student & teacher. ex: a student always procrastinting but still expecting straight A's; or a teacher having an affair w/ his/her high school pupil because they feel invincible b/c they are an authority figure

Ugh seriously tell me about it. Students are so self-obsessed these days, and they don't really care about anything but themselves. Many students think they're the best of the best when, in reality, they aren't. I know so many of students who show off about their grades to me or others, thinking that it will somehow make them seem smarter. Why do you feel it is necessary to show off your grades? To make yourself feel better? I'm pretty sure that no one really cares.

yeah students are getting arrogant day by day and if you look at the new generation,one would find that the generation does not have any respect for teachers and they feel that we can do all our studies and future on our own and dont need any teacher.now we cant blame only student for this because i m being student have come across few teachers who really dont give a damn to teaching . so such teachers basically have got into students head and students rate every teacher in same way. regards.

i think it is because of the students age. teenagers are the period when people are most radical. they follow their heart too much that some got astray. with the mass advancement of technology, students nowadays are more exposed to almost anything. in fact, that's what making them arrogant since some teachers are not up to date to the advancement of technology making them an easy target to be mocked by students.

One reason I can think of is that these students doesn't really care about studying. They don't really care if they get high marks, they just do what others want them to do that's why they lack motivation and respect 'cause they dont care at all.

It's today's generation. The students act the same way towards their parents too. They just don't have respect for people and they weren't really disciplined to respect people either. Kids just keep getting mouthier and mouthier and don't seem to have respect for anything. I think a lot of it has to do with the parents and how they raised the kids.
