Badly behaved kids... Adults who do well in the real world.
You would think that to be a successful adult a child would have to be well behaved, but the truth is bad behaviour is only classifiable by the situation in which it is presented. For example I read a statement that rings very true to me,
"often the behaviours that people can't tolerate in children are the very things that they admire in adults. For instance, an argumentative child, is a child who sees things from a different perspective and has the confidence to express his or her ideas - a great business asset!"

The truth you have to ask yourself is, are there really badly behaved children? Or are they inquisitive to the point of questioning things which annoys teachers?
Personally ive always thought teachers are people who have bad days, weeks and even terms. Yet you would NEVER hear a teacher at a parents evening do the 'adult' thing and admit to being lacklustre this term, or not paying much attention to that specific child now would you?
