At home, direct eye contact was seen as sign of disrespect and a form of confrontation, but when I was at school, not looking a teacher in the eye made her think I was up to something. Not that it's a bad thing, but I think the advice in this article relies heavily on mainstream Western cultural memes. Some subcultures don't do things the same way. I have a hard time looking people in the eye even today, becuase it's such an intense thing and I was taught not to do it.
