[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have experience at public middle but at private middle, and I am also surprised at the spoiled and sarcastic attitudes. I think it's popular wisdom that the poorer kids act worse, but honestly now I'm not so sure.[/quote]

You're joking.  The kids at my daughter's FARMS school were so much better behaved than the school she was moved to this year.[/quote]
Yes. I'm a teacher at a school most people on DCUM would turn their noses up at because our families are not wealthy. I have a lot of students from Africa and  South East Asia. These kids are without fail my best behaved and most respectful students. I'll take them over a classroom full of white entitled brats any day. [/quote]
I'm an Asian immigrant.  This is because immigrant parents aren't scared to discipline their kids. Most of these cultures are respectful of their elders (though, sadly, that seems to be changing, too).  They have not been indoctrinated by the latest American parenting techniques.  Give it a generation.   I'm not saying all American parenting techniques are bad, but there's something about it that is producing spoiled, entitled brats who feel it's ok to be disrespectful to adults.[/quote]
