Some typical bad habits that Chinese students usually have are listed above, see which of these do you have, too. Or for those who has already completed all the studies, have once had at school. I have the second and the seventh one.

In elementary school, we had plastic rulers that had a hole in the middle. We'd stick a pencil through the hole and spin the ruler like a propeller.

I used to draw pictures in my notebooks.

I used to sleep in lessons, eat in lessons, and carve / write stuff on desks.

I only doodle with my pen in circles when I am trying to do a hexavigesimal base conversion in my head.

Carving things into desk tops appeals to me about as much as getting a tattoo. If I ever definatively answer the Mad Hatters question of why a raven is like Edgar Allan Poe's writing desk I might give it a try.

Fighting over the middle of the desk is only a recent problem in schools because of students using electronic calculators that take up space. Now every math Geek thinks they are smarter than Da Vinci.

All those bad habits you listed were common when I was in school. We may have different cultures and languages, but students are all the same in schools.

Burn things?

!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see for me:

Play with the pen(I also like to draw or write random things in my notebook)
Eat
Sleep

I sometimes slept in class. Also drew pictures in my notebooks.

None of the above. I skipped classes and went skiing.

I would fiddle with my pen and snack at my desk.

Actually, I loved to listen to music while doing my homework. I don't think it affected me negatively.

I did most of those things except burning things! lol

Play with my pen - Yes.
Eat during classes - Yes.
Do homework while listening to music - nothing wrong with that...just as long as it's jazz music.
Sleep during classes - Darn near slept the last few minutes of Ceramics class everytime.
