[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have taught in three countries (Japan, USA, and Cameroon, Africa in the Peace Corps). We have “low power distance” culture in the U.S. children are taught that they should have the same rights as adults. Look at movies here. Parents and teachers are usually treated as bumbling idiots while the kids are in charge. Students are taught to disrespect authority and education in general. Our social structure has also destroyed upward mobility for most kids, so it is hard to argue that education guarantees success in life unless you have the means to pay for college.[/quote] You don’t think children should have the same rights as an adult? WTF?! Children are just as human as adults and deserve the same rights and respect. I really hope you no longer work in education.[/quote]
