I can see how that would be. Around 11-13 I think nearly everyone feels they have something to prove, and it suddenly becomes cool to rebel. Then when people develop personalities they're comfortable with, they become more managable. It also depends on the group -- some kids are just disobedient, and others will listen to the teacher in a second. This is true in my school all the time, sometimes I genuinely pity the teachers. Interest in the topic is a definite factor too.
I'd like to be a teacher giving private music lessons if I can, so then at least I'd know my students would be interested.
