I think it was a more trusting world then, with much less obvious crime and a whole lot less child snatching, etc.
However, the current crop of parents is grossly overprotective, too. Witness the advent of "helicopter" parents at colleges and universities. When I was in school, the LAST thing I would have done if I were doing poorly in a class was call my father to complain. He'd have offered to stop paying for school if I'd pulled a stunt like that, it was up to me to solve problems and get my backside into the seat in time for class, not his. Today, parents harass faculty and staff all the time on behalf of their kids. Things have changed.
