That's besides the point really.

Where are the fear of any consequences?
Where's the respect for authority?

Forget being smacked or not, this is about kids that have never had any discipline ever probably due to absent fathers and those in authority not being able to do a damn thing about anything because nobody is allowed to 'punish' anymore because that's the trendy middle class liberal attitude to have these days.
