I've never met such fervent American Patriots as Cubans who've attained US citizenship, the same applies to many naturalized US citizens, especially those coming from communist or socialist countries.

My partner, who is a high school French teacher, tell me year after year how she sees the children of immigrants far surpass the kids from Americans born and raised here.

I don't know why so many people aren't learning from this.

Merry Christmas everyone!

This has to do with how children are raised. I'm a pediatrician (and an immigrant) and I see the same things. So many American kids are spoiled. They are allowed to Disrespect their parents & elders & authority. They are allowed to break rules without consequences. They are given too much stuff. Too many rewards. Parents give in to the kids' demands & let the kids walk all over them. Most immigrants don't do this. They punish their kids, harshly when needed. They enforce rules & respect. So kids are very behaved at all times.

Many Americans also raise their kids right. Particularly I see this with more traditional & religiously observant Americans. Kids are respectful & follow the rules.
