One of my students added another American trait today. He said that Americans follow rules. Then he started talking about the trash on the streets and how we don’t litter much in America. He said that he knows not to litter because he was educated by the “Scouts”. I think it is the “Boy Scouts”. In general the litter problem is a problem and it is not a poor/rich educational divide. It is in General, It is a public education problem and unfortunately with all of the rain this causes a lot of other problems.
