I love this blog!!!<br /><br />Unfortunately, it seems your rude classmates are demonstrating how difficult it is to learn anything when one has a bad attitude. Do you think an open mind is more important than a superior intellect, even in educational situations?Mrs. Fluryhttp://embarqmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974258696735411451.post-41425847061791540452011-01-31T18:43:00.582-08:002011-01-31T18:43:00.582-08:00Actually, they were all English students!

It was only a few, and most I've met are very hardworking (some of the people I was sitting with- who were just as shocked as I was- were English.) At least with Arcadia, they really scared us about doing our work while here... they exaggerated a lot, too, as I'm discovering.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046973789031899869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974258696735411451.post-15934160528970685482011-01-31T18:15:15.960-08:002011-01-31T18:15:15.960-08:00That is REALLY frustrating....

One of the things I noticed while I was in China was that a lot of the international students figured it just didn't matter if they were rude or skipped class because they were only there for the semester or year, and it wouldn't directly affect their grades or relationships at their home institutions. I know that Americans usually have a reputation for being rude, but sometimes I just can't fathom it, because some of the students from other countries just didn't seem to understand being respectful to people.Courtney Weatherbyhttp://blogs.dickinson.edu/courtneyinchina/noreply@blogger.com
