Sadly, I happen to be a student, though thankfully I now homeschool. Being an advanced student in this stupid program was awful. It was boring as heck, because we were taught meaningless information that nobody was going to remember after the test (like having to know the capitals of other countries, which we had to learn in sixth grade). In sixth grade, we were still learning about commas and punctuation, as well as reading only one chapter of a novel per day. It was TORTURE!

I think sometimes you need to play the game well so you can survive and then make sure you get in a position of power and then you talk!

i offer a crude intro to bauman's ideas of "liquid modernity" in a playlist on my page called "OIL (Black and Liquid in Modernity). take a look. certainly read his books. eye opening. very similar to giroux.
Awesome speech. I am a computer teacher and I used to do lots of creative projects and now I cant because of the districs asking to go ONLY by the curriculum. My kids used to love creative work. Shit! I wish I got the balls to say ENOUGH!

If you say too much, you'll end up like me, no longer working in a public school. But, I don't care. I miss the kids, but i hate the politics that killed my and my students' creativity. More people have to speak up. Obama is a NCLB proponent. He wants to fund it better? HA! He wants the retardation system to work more effectively, that's all.

5 stars to you.
How does Bush dare to claim the act is working?! I'm so glad I'm not from America, but I'm very sad that american goverment is going down the stairs, taking so many people with it.

Binnacas, thanks. I look to the Norwegian countries for solutions to our problems, since your country is much more progressive than ours, but we'll get there. Change is going to come and soon.

For some reason, stupidgirl816, I believe there's some irony in your youtube name: ) Thank you for your generous comment and continue being curious.
