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 illustrating how America is lagging behind in education because we aren't paying enough attention to our studies. It's showing that China is excelling in Math and that India is going far with Science. But America is too busy paying attention to our electronic and that advancements in technology. It also shows China and India to be well polished and seem to look studious and professional. But the USA kid looks to be like the rebel and much more childish than the others shown. The American kid is wear a baseball cap and looks like the typical cool kid in the neighborhood thing. My perspective is that American kids have more focus on electronics and sports than they do to their studies but American kids also have more down time and know how to have fun and at least relax sometimes. The other kids look well educated and polished and look like they devote a lot of time to their studies but they also probably aren't as happy and get as much free time. A teacher would view this probably as how can American Kids catch up to the rest of the world and what can we do to improve our study skills to match the output by other nations. They would look at study patterns and what is successful and what is not.
