Not really. Respect is a feeling. They force you to treat people in a certain way so as not to trample on their rights.
Just a feeling ?
How about the willingness to show consideration or appreciation ?
A very important aspect of education imo.
If teachers notice a child shows 'abnormal' behavior pretty soon the parents are visited by some social youth authority to see what is going on.
To state that parents are free to raise their kids any way they like just simply isn't true. ( not in Holland anyway )
