    I don’t know if that would work as well today, but the power came from respect that the tenured professor never let wane.

    I don’t know if it would work today, because kids aren’t being taught respect, or much of anything else by their parents, and schools can barely manage to teach them the basics, let alone any social mores. No disrespect to teachers, it’s the admin and government policies tying their hands.
