Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective?
This cartoon is trying to say that American students are falling behind other countries academically because they lack interest in education. I disagree, I think other countries are ahead because they are Asian, so they are naturally smarter, and have stricter parents. Some people believe this is true, and they think that this generation has become very lazy and dont want to learn. With some students, this is true. But to say that ALL of America is like this is false. I'm sure the adults/teachers think that there is a large amount of students like in the picture because they dont have the perspective of teachers in other countries. They SEE kids playing on their phone, or thinking about other things in class. But, their test scores usually reveal that they still learned the material. Maybe American kids are better at multi-tasking and/or having fun and learning at the same time.
