Well, I live in the "no kids" age anyway, but as a kid, I definitely remember the hell of jumping between sana parents, and teachers that each had completely different expectations of what "authority" means.
My dad often tells me a story of how I almost floored a school principal by using his name instead of the title.
Meanwhile, 1 year later in private school, that was unironically the norm.
