I have studied in Europe (Italy and Germany) and now I am in the academia in the USA. Having student evaluate professors has been the standard practice for many years in Europe. I also do not think that American students have a worse attitude towards their professors than their EU counterpart. In my limited experience, I have actually found the opposite to be true: I found American students to be more actively involved in their education and less passive than Italian students (on average).
