The Lazy American

First was The Ugly American, now it is The Lazy American. I am quite very impressed by the article in the Boston Globe. The 31 year old writer teaches in Babson College and she finds her American students tend to not to focus in class and distracted by sms or emails, refused to take notes and are tired and sleepy. Whereas foreign students put in plenty of effort and energy, rewriting their papers many times to improve grammar and structure.

She is politically correct by making sure she did not forget to state the fact that there are good American students as well. She writes beautifully and I cannot do justice with my summary so here is the link to The Lazy American for you to read the original article.
