How do u play video games if u r not able to read,write etc...a good advice: go to school till 6th grade then stop the school, now im a 6th grader goin to be 7th grader, u dont know how bad these teachers hurt u...then ur moms comes shoutin at u...:( u dont feel the same way like I do!! They may be 1 of the harshest teachers at all...i hate them...b****es in real.....im crying everyday not to schopl
yes let's blame teachers who work 24 hours a day and weekends to try to help students reach their intellectual potential - hey i will be dead by the time the entertainment dependent generation takes over - thank god
sadly this situation is on rise. its good to implement educational strategies which go towards learners; but i still believe that some form of hierarchy must be maintained.
Oh horse puckey! Teachers who can't teach, who make learning a chore, who don't have the skills to do their job or the desire to learn them, THEY are the ones who blame video games for the short attention span of their students.
@psychoticlibertarian I don't think the point was to blame video games. The point was that the child would rather be home playing a violent, inappropriate game rather than be in school preparing for his future.
@jenluv37 I am a well paid adult with a career that I enjoy, and I still think about being at home playing video games. I had a college GPA of 3.5, and I would still think about being home playing video games. Again, it is poor teachers that BLAME video games. People think about different things all the time, The REAL problem is teachers that don't know how to teach, not the video game that the individual would rather be playing.
@psychoticlibertarian It is completely natural and normal for people to think about other things while they are supposed to be working. It seems you have a target opinion that is distracting from the meaning of the video because you can't see the forest for the trees. This video is not an attack on video games. Period.
@barscotch exactly. We all have things we like to do in our free time, that's fine.
The issue IMHO is a lot of people talking about how bad a teacher is but I wonder how many have been in a classroom recently. The way kids talk to adults is horrific. If it was 2 adults then one would be fired from their job for verbal abuse.
You can't teach when the student doesn't care. We have too many unmotivated kids who expect the world to somehow give them their dream life without working for it.
@barscotch well said but there're reasons why kid's find themselves playing videogames instead of "focusing on their future" such as getting a "job". With access to information, anyone capable of learning can realize that spending your days trying to earn money so that you can give it to taxes is not very intelligent. Yet that is what everyone is forced to do if they want to be "normal". It's not normal at all. Normal would mean no outside influence directed the human to live any certain way
@psychoticlibertarian It is also disfunctional schools and bad parenting practices. No matter how good a teacher u are if they go home to a horrible house all the things u teach them go right out the door. This is comming from a teacher who has worked in multiple schools.
This video highlights the problem teachers face today. They need to identify the cause of these working conditions. Which isn't "bad" kids, as this video suggests, but the failure of teachers to unite against No Child Left Behind. Until they do, they'll be held accountable for every child like this.
One thing I've noticed in the last 12-15 years is that parents and their RESPONSIBILITY to educate and discipline their children have been left to OTHER people. If there is adequate discipline and basic education at home (respect your elders, don't lie etc... involved parents), then you won't have this huge ripple effect into the school system where teachers are expected to do what the parents were supposed to do AND teach the children with their hands tied behind their backs.
I once had a temp teacher who was ashamed to be a teacher, and introduced herself as "a philosopher who takes teaching jobs." She got no respect from any of us, and once, during a study period, she started screaming at us for not sitting in our seats. She called us a bunch of retarded children, and said she had never taught kids who were as unintelligent as us. She then assumed we would all sit down and be quiet. She was fired the next day.
Are you getting into doing animation now? Anyway human interaction has always had ups and downs. It's worse when there is no support from others, like the example set by our own government, rewarding companies like AIG for wrong doing.
Spankings should be making a comeback - the only reason why kids get away with this kind of stuff is they have no fear of authority or consequences until its too late.
I'd rather die or face the police than faced my dad when I was in school. He would put me through a wall and I knew it.
The running joke in my social circle is all of my friends who are highly successful were spanked REGULARLY as children - and came out to be well adjusted people who understand what "work ethic" means.
How can you motivate or teach a child that does not respect you? Certainly, the parents do not get any respect either and now we have all of these self centered kids who think that they will sit at home forever and be taken care of.
My nephew really thinks that he's going to get a job as a video game tester so he doesn't have to do anything. I have friends in the industry and I had to have them tell him that its not happening unless you finish school.
@phntsticpeg I truly believe that you have to show children that you care before they will care what you say. There are lots of ways to get kids involved in education but some I feel I truly hit a wall with. Sometimes a big reason for that wall (intended or unintended) is parent support of lack of effort in school.
@phntsticpeg Teachers suck. There are some good ones. Personally a lot of them deserve the amount of money paid equivalent to a guy working at McDonalds.
@XOSiren18XO As an art teacher of course I think its awesome he wants to do art. However the point is if you don't handle your business you can't get where you want to go. No one is going to hire you to play video games if you can't read. And certainly you won't find the job you want if you refuse to take direction from others. This is the way the world works and we all have to adhere to it in a certain regard.
To some degree I 'was' that kid. I was also sometimes an extraordinary student. For several years I had a dream of being an astronaut. During that time I was an excellent student. Then a guidance councilor spent a full hour convincing me that my dream was stupid and that I should have a more practical goal like being plumber or a fireman (I kid you not). Needless to say, I became that kid. Great guidance councilor.
@Panpiper I had the same thing happen when my math teacher asked us to give her a career that did not involve math. I told her I wanted to be an actress. She looked at me like "Yeah, right!" Then she told me that the chances that I would become an actress was so slim that I should probably pick something different.
Some teachers say crap things to kids. That doesn't mean that an adult's success (or lack of) should be blamed on a teacher. Adults need to take responsibility for their own choices
@jenluv37 I agree with you, adults need to take responsibility for themselves. In a real sense, that's what being an adult means. But my lack of scholastic effort in my teens was very much the blame of that idiot guidance councilor, and ultimately it did have ramifications on my adult life. It certainly stopped me from being an astronaut. ;-)
And you 'are' an actress, after a fashion, here on YouTube. :-)
@Panpiper If you wanted to be an astronaut that bad you would have ignored your guidance counselor. I certainly did when they tried to get me to be a chemist when I said I was an artist. I've been one all my life and teach it too.
When you are a kid, adults don't take you seriously. This has been true through the ages. My ? - How many kids did your counselor have at school and from that number how many of them do you really think had a clear view at that time of what they wanted in life.
It is the child that is the one that needs to do something, to learn. A teacher cannot 'teach' a child anything if the child does not wish to learn. In my opinion the single most important task of a good teach is to motivate the child to be interested in the subject, to want to learn. If they can succeed in that, the rest is almost trivial. If they fail in that, the rest is impossible.
Ask this question of your kids; "What do you want out of life kids?"
Their answers will be essentially; "Lots of leisure time, lots of money, lots of sex (if older)."
To have lots of leisure time, you need to do high value work for the time you are actually working, that requires knowing stuff. To get lots of sex, you need to be seriously successful. Bums who are broke do not get laid. Uneducated people do not make lots of money.
It helps of course if you can make your teaching entertaining.
@Panpiper What about the attitude like the child's in the video? They don't plan on getting jobs in the future. Think of how many adults don't have jobs and still get by. There are A LOT of them.
When kids are used to being entertained by the fast moving graphics of video games and anime cartoons it is difficult for a teacher to provide that level of entertainment.
Plus, kids may not see the connection between their current actions and the future. I know I didn't when I was their age.
@jenluv37 It isn't the video game's fault, in all honesty. Kids have always been restless in school-- it will never be "fun" unless they are into learning, which isn't every kid. They won't realize the importance of school until they are older. Kids who act poorly in school usually aren't taught respect.. It's bad parenting that's at fault.
@jenluv37 Certainly you cannot 'teach' them by convincing them of a gainful future if you are then boring in class. But I do not believe you have to be 'as' entertaining as a computer game, 'if' they realize that their time is being well spent. There is a needed balance between their understanding that this is useful and your needing to make it interesting.
As for the kids not planing on supporting themselves, do a budgeting exercise with them with their monthly budget being a welfare check.
@Panpiper Um... no! FACT, a large majority of college graduates are in debt (due to studant loans) and stuck in crappy jobs. It's NOT due to a "bad economy", because it's always been this way! The truth is, A) there are not enough "good jobs" availible for everyone, and B) companies ONLY hire the top 20%.
This is why 80% end up in shitty jobs. It's inevitable! If you don't go to college, then you won't be stuck paying off studant loans. End result, same job, but more money left over!
Very very funny, especially when the teacher called him an ungreatful little asshole. There are serious elements of truth to this vid i'm sure. When i was that little boys age the teacher would defo have slapped him around the place. I seen it tonnes of times at school back then. :OS
