merican students tend to be very disrespectful in classrooms, from high school to college. They talk while in class, texting, surfing the net, coming to class late…Most teachers just put up with it because they feel powerless. I don’t blame the professor for getting upset because it is disrespectful to yawn so loudly over and over again. I have more respect for this professor because he actually had enough respect for himself and other students in the class to say something (do something) about it.



I can so relate to this prof. Actually have almost been there myself.

Students need to respect the profession and not think these people work for me. We are talking 17, 18, 19 year olds versus people with PhDs or Masters.

American students tend to be very spoiled and lazy. Something is very wrong in our educational system.

But that is another thread.
