Today's school system is simply not ready to prepare students for life in the information age. Whether we like it or not, we are children of a new generation, and need to help build a school system that embraces the future instead of resists it.

  • I worked as a schools career advisor in the mid-2000s, and I often put better-looking, non-academic students in touch with a local modelling agency. I was fired by the Head for ‘incompetence’ after it turned out they also supplied the ‘adult glamour & hardcore’ industry with models & actors.

    However, they had to pay for my silence with 2 years’ salary and a fantastic reference as they didn’t want the bad PR to get out. I couldn’t see what the fuss was about…

  • the funny thing is, this video is already outdated.

  • The highest quality country in 1900: UK.

    The highest quality country in 2012: LESOTHO!!!

  • @SuperTruth77 Well they probably did not want the kids to be porn stars.

  • The best thing that I've done all year is to give a young IT graduate a two week work experience opportunity. At the end of it, when asked what he had learnt, he told us that despite struggling to find a job for 16 months, he had loved his time at our small company as it had shown him that he has something to offer.

    You can't bottle inspiration. Do one small thing for others at a time.

  • @savesilence but it is the British Empire so...

    but irrelevant to the message of the video :)

  • so facebook is the largest country in the virtual world

  • @WacheniUshenzi whilst you are correct state that the Empire consisted of more than England or indeed the United Kingdom, would it not be true to say, but it was the British Empire and not the Commonwealth that in 1900 ruled much of the world?

  • Are those results based on numbers or ratio? If it's numbers then it is obvious other countries would have more smarter students as there are more people.. Can you make it more clearer please?

  • our teacher showed this to us in class today

  • Okay, I guess this video isn't exactly correct. More like estimations and what probably could/would happen.
