Did she ask for it or deserve it? Doubtful.
I think Xerxys brings up a good point, though. Teachers these days seem to lack the skill to discipline and command respect. I remember there were teachers the class wouldn't respond to and others who would walk into a classroom and everyone would shut up. From what I hear from my kids and their friends, this is still the same.
They're trying too hard to be friends and relate, so they become peers instead of respected role models.
