The system isn't a whole lot better up here but I think that the teachers try to get the lazy kids to sit in the back of the class room and just shut up. At least this gives a chance to the kids that want to learn.

I teach part time in the evenings at McGill University in Montreal. The first night I ask the students if anyone has a cell phone. Immediately a whole bunch of phones appear. I then tell them that I also have a phone but mine is in my vehicle and I go on to tell them that all they have to do is have that stupid phone ring just once in my class to get on my bad side. I get really good cooperation that way. Of course these mature students are paying for their courses themselves so they want to learn. It is very different compared to high school.
