  • Do American students seem less disciplined and less motivated compared to students from other countries?

    Is it just me, or do US middle/high school students have more behavior problems compared to students from other parts of the world? If you have the same perception, I like to understand why do you think that is the case, and what can be done about it? Regardless of everything being tried in the US classrooms, there just seems to be a constant deterioration of discipline, motivation, and respect from the youths today. I do not think the US teachers are less qualified than teachers in other countries to deal with these issues.

    Here are some links about an average school day in China and in Mexico. Even though the schools may have poverty and low-income students, there still seem to be discipline, motivation, and respect from the students.

    I like to hear from everyone, but in particular from those who have experience with high schools.
