I am not sure what world you live in where teachers have any sort of authority. They are at best laughed at behind their back. At best.
You have to give people the tools they need to do their job with the skills they do have, not the ones most humans don't.
"Laughed at behind their back" doesn't preclude authority. In fact, it kind of necessitates it, because why do it "behind their back" if you aren't afraid of consequences?
Anyway, there's plenty of teachers who do have respect from students, so what world do YOU live in?
oh, right, the one where self-defense isn't valid because you don't want to even think about why things happen
