Mostly it's somewhere in the middle; a few bad eggs and a bunch of ordinary kids who might be good as gold one day and then maybe forget themselves another. The article is pretty much centered on English classes, so who knows, maybe it's just the way English is taught that means they particularly act up in those lessons. Other subjects may be handled differently. Certainly in the UK i've seen a Year 9 class be perfectly OK throughout a whole day of classes, right up until music class, where they hated the curriculum and loathed the teacher (who had no control) and so transformed into foul little monsters accordingly.
