I don't think middle schoolers typically think about school in this way. Maybe these kids are exceptional bu they don't seem real. I have a hard time believing that students came up with this script on their own. I could be wrong but my experience with middle schoolers would suggest I'm not. This formula is another take on Michael Weschs' video but in fairness, his was done by college students who actually collected the data. I'm not suggesting you can't reuse the formula, I just don't think this is the best way to make your case. It doesn't feel very authentic to me. I'm sure others feel differently but I had a few others on twitter say the same. I don’t know exactly why but the “No Future” video bothers me.
