Unlike those mindless American students who are always ready to engage in incessant chitchat (even if they have not read the assignments). Frequently I have to refrain from asking them to shut up in my class and think before they speak. Yes, there are stupid questions just like there are stupid answers.

And yes, most of them are lazy, too. Intellectually and physically.
