Japanese School or American school

If you were a teacher for a day, would you teach a class full of American students or Japanese students? I work in an American public school and some kids are rowdy and disrespectful. I never had the experience of being in a Japanese classroom but from watching videos the students seem well disciplined and work together as a unit. There’s this app I use called periscope where you can watch broadcast from around the world.I follow this one Japanese so I can ask her how are the children in the classroom.

あめりか人 学生 は 失礼な でも 日本人 学生 が丁寧 です, はい.

I'm a little biased.

@Tatsumi Ahh, fuck. アメリカ* 3 different writing systems gets confusing. >_> Ma ii. I'm learning.

That said, there is a lot more harmony in the collectivist society of Japan, where emphasis is put on the group, rather than the individual. It has its pros and cons--but, seems like a lot more pros compared to the West.
