2:31 Yep, she'll definitely have 14 jobs by the time she's 38. All of them will be with Dunkin' Donuts and Mc Donalds tho.

I agree with PAULSKATER101. These kids have no social lives at all. They sit in front of a computer all day getting brain tumors. My brother does this program and now he's an anti-social computer geek. He plays World of Warcraft now! That's the gayest game ever!

Gay! These kids have no lives at all.

STFU u Noob!

You are correct. Funding is always an issue. What are the solutions to overcoming the hierarchy education system, where the distribution of money leads to the educational value a student receives? What can change at the top or bottom to allow students to receive the education they need? Or is it the technology or enhanced teacher training that a student needs? What defines good education? Is it passion, skills, ability to memorize?What if it's the ability to change in a working environment

I think this is all and well and as a teacher I would LOVE for every student to have a computer in class and to use that to do everything and I would LOVE for each student to have an Ipod to listen to lectures and interact..I would LOVE for each student to have a digital camera. BUT this isn't the case, public funding doesn't allow this. So all each student to access the technology and I will use it to teach!

You may be (absolutely) right, but it's no reason to stop improving the ways of teaching children anything they need to know. Don't teach them what to learn, until they know how to learn it.

None of those kids mentioned anything about spending time with their parents. Where they in all this? You know why China's students do so well? Parental involvement. Parents in China have their children study and do homework before they're allowed to watch TV or use the computer. Parents in China also help their children learn and understand math as well as read. American parents teach their kids to talk and read but leave math to the schools and then wonder why their kid isn't good at it.

Search the video "Scontri a piazza Navona - la verità su questo video!" about the protest of Italian students against the government in Rome Ciao

Children need to be actively engaged in learning. Case in point... look at the child in the video who is asleep at his desk. He needs to be challenged in an active classroom, one where technology is used.

Onequeonedan and Hurricaneof38 are both me. I had to reset my username, which I never actually chose. We need the college professors to provide their feedback to the State Education Department. I am a high school teacher in New York State, and I was also an adjunct professor for a number of years at Westchester Community College. The college communites have been on board with 21st Century learning skills for years. It's time that K-12 came on board too.

Agreed. Passing those tests doesn't prepare them for my coursework, or for life in general. Worse still, when I refer to material they should have learned in high school, big historical events for example, most don't remember anything about them because (to quote one student) "high school is all one big blur". What's the point of cramming the information into their heads if its done in such a way that it falls right out again after the test?
By: TheHurricaneof38. on 29 Oct 08, 10:44:18
In New York State, too many K-12 teachers are too involved in teaching for the state assessments. We need to teach our children how to create, design, and think, instead of just preparing for outdated state exams.

Technology is fabulous. Now tell the lawmakers to allow freedom within mandated curricula. As a college instructor, I am faced with class after class of students who have never been called on to think. Is it because their classrooms lack technology? No. Is it because their teachers don't think critical thinking skills aren't important? Lord no (my education students will tell you that). Is it because the curriculum leaves no time for anything other than rote memorization?
By: onequeonedan. on 29 Oct 08, 00:14:12
That's a good point. We just need to show children how to apply their critical thinking skills into this incredible technology. And I agree... they need the desire to learn.

This is a powerful video and quite like the one produced by Kansas State University. Today's child can multi-task in an incredible way. Educators need to change their dinosaur teaching methods and get on board with today's learner. Today's student needs the 21st Century Skills that are needed for successful entry into the work place. Those video games were not so bad after-all. They taught children how to use technology and gain in this fast-growing and evolving library of knowledge.

from what i hear, the kid's education system is severely lacking in encouraging CREATIVITY. the imitation of mwesch...this feels awkward for me to watch...demonstrate some flippin' creativity for these kids!
By: chris5rules. on 20 Oct 08, 16:00:58
It's meant to show a different age group though
By: feedphillipnow. on 16 Oct 08, 22:46:41
Yeah it resembles "Visions of students today" a little too much...
By: WilloAUS. on 07 Oct 08, 02:47:16
You copied from mwesch which is brilliant. This is shit you wanker. Get your own ideas.

vaya mierdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I would have to disagree with the message in this video, provided that the message is teachers in general fail to provide enough encouragement for students to learn. Granted, there are of course some teachers in the U.S. who are terrible and cannot "engage" their students at all, but (from personal experience as a high school senior) most of the problems come from the students themselves: their lack of desire, responsibility, and care for school.
