Michael- You said: "From my experiences,some American students can really be a pain...."
Yes. And some can be an absolute joy. I find it a bit more rewarding to focus on them (well, sometimes. . .). :) Just generally though this strikes me as a bit of the fundamental attribution error at work, perhaps. I've had students from the US who were pains. But also students who were pains from Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Brazil, Germany, Canada, Russia. . . . I mentioned those particular ones because I've also had students from each of those countries who were delightful and responsible students. But, also in response to the above quote: And so can some United States faculty be a pain- I'm sure I've had my moments at faculty meetings, for example. (Michael- As the "TIPS cross-cultural dude", were you referring to experience with students from all the Americas? Else, some would be rather likely to take offense. At a cultural slight.)
