By the age of five, about 87% of American children start school. Americans deeply believe in education as the best vehicle for individual and social advancement. The relationship between students and teachers is less formal in the USA than in many other countries, especially at the college level. American college students do not often stand up when their teacher enters the classroom. Students are generally encouraged to ask questions during class, to stop in the professor’s office for extra help, and to phone if they are absent and need an assignment.
Most teachers allow students to enter class late or leave early, if necessary. Despite the lack of formality, students are still expected to be polite and considerate of their teachers and classmates. When students want to ask questions, they usually raise a hand and wait until they are called. If a professor is giving a formal lecture that is the wrong time to interrupt with a question. When the teacher or a student is speaking to the class, it is rude to begin whispering to another classmate. When a test is being given, talking to a classmate is not only rude but also risky. Most American teachers assume that students who are talking to each other during a test are cheating.
