I really like the first video in this post; it is a very accurate description of what it is like to be a student today. It seems that school systems are a little behind the times when it comes to adjusting to the changing needs of the students. Personally I think ISU (Illinois State University) has done a good job of incorporating more engaging material into their class rooms. Another great message was even though we have these complaints about school and wish that it was better, we are so much better off then other places around the world. I think that was a great way to end the piece, it really put a spin on the information that was presented in the beginning. It basically shows you, that ya maybe being a student aren’t the easiest or most glamorous thing, but you truly are lucky to even have the money to buy the books you don’t read.

I am going to cheat and leave the same comment I left on two other blogs with this video!! I just think it is so interesting…
“I showed the video ‘A Vision of Students’ to all of my kids today and was amazed at their response. To summarize the opinions of 100 kids in one sentence — “The video was made to show kids how they waste their time doing useless things and should do the work they are given because college costs a lot of money and doing well in college will lead to a more successful future.” It took a while for them to believe that it was not their fault for feeling bored and uninterested in school(every class except mine of course : )”
