Not that my sample size is that huge, but to counter this article, my girlfriend is an elementary school teacher, in the US, but in a VERY multicultural school. Apparently the one French kid in class is the biggest little snotty shit, and his parents are mad uptight.


Imagine being taken from a society where the rules are constant and fair, which rewards patience and where fellow children are well disciplined and patient. Now drop into an American classroom.

I'd be snotty too.


Yes, for some reason french people have this reputation of being very snotty/arrogant by nature. Especially if they are from Paris.

This is total anecdotal evidence. but I am not sure how can one quantify snottiness.
