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 in comparison to other students across the world, students in the USA have difficulty focusing on one task and get easily distracted when it comes to studying. This cartoon shows students from China and India that are fully engaged in their studies, but are distracted by the USA student. This could also be trying to say that the USA is distracting to other countries and that we are the problem. I agree that some students in the USA get distracted when it comes to studying and that we are often multitasking instead of focusing on one task, but not all USA students are like this and there are some students from other countries that do the same. From my perspective, the cartoon is designed as an insult to students of the United States, and it is showing how we can't focus on anything. From a teacher's perspective, this cartoon is an insult to the teachers of the United States. It is saying that while other countries can control their students and make them learn, the USA teachers let students get away with too much and the students suffer the consequences.
