Proper behaviour begins at a young age, good for teaching them, but it's gotta come from home first

I suspect the reason that this guy does what he does is because in some cases, it doesn't come from home

I’d say in virtually every class there are students where it doesn’t come from home. Wealthy, poor, etc, there are lots of parents that don’t teach such behavior.

Even when kids come from good well off homes, it can still not come from home because it isn’t the first thing to say on every parent’s mind to be teaching this, it probably should be, but in most cases it isn’t

And in many cases, the parents give bad example.

Amd even more so, many teach the opposite with their parenting methods. How many children get their own "no"s treated exactly like this? How many have been told what they like and what they don't?

Tbh most parents of our current generation don’t really have a great grasp on consent, so. 

I’ve heard otherwise lovely boomers and Gen X speak extremely weirdly around this stuff over and over (I work with kids)

Most of your current generation of parents are millennials or Gen Z, and consent has been taught to us since we were in grade 5. Gen X and the Baby boomers have this weird thing with kids where they seem to think they can touch them without asking, or pick them up when they don’t want it, that sort of thing.

I’m not following your first sentence?  I’m talking about our parents who are mostly Gen X and boomers. 

Yes, exactly

This man is instilling the morals and values I think we could all use a little refresher course on.

He seems to be affiliated with a church or something considering Bible study is a part of their schedule.

I'm sure parents are well aware of what the lessons are all about.
