Poor little babies. They have their toys, but are shocked that they will have to make an effort in class, read the books, write the papers, and pay attention. Sorry, no sympathy for these spoiled little white kids.

great video!

@GravityWithMe I know textbooks are expensive, but that's no reason to just waste a class... I personally see a lot of value in learning, and if it takes debt and a lot of effort to get good grades and succeed, I think it's worth the cost.

This sounds about right!

Even more outrageous than the problems called attention to in this video is the fact that despite America's amazing wealth many of its own citizens STILL do not enjoy equal access to the brilliant minds that sustain the country. Misplaced values disrupt the field of play. Some self-reflection will likely show that as a nation we tend to have only enough time for Fox News sound bites and text messages and have come to value sport, entertainment, and material profit over the pursuit of knowledge.

@flinkrch The point is that we are teaching like we did in the 19th century when when working class people went to work on a production line and middle class people took a profession such as law or teaching. All of these jobs are disappearing and what is needed now is creativity and originality - unfortortunately our school/college systems of testing to exams does not accommodate the change in the workplace

@popsterity As a Gen X person (or Baby Boomer? 1963) - I think the world has changed. You cannot expect students of today to do what was expected of us. The jobs have changed, there are fewer jobs, there are more people and technology has a much bigger influence in our lives. We need to think about what the future of our young people is. Too many people of my age think that young people are lazy or wasting time - but things aren't the same as 20 or 30 years ago.

As a Gen-X college professor, I see my Gen-Y students each day do no more or no less than I used to do back in the 80s. At least you don't have to deal with big hair and parachute pants. Get over it. Get to work. Show up for class!! Take notes!! Visit your professor and engage in a conversation with him or her. Don't waste your effin' time and your youthful vitality complaining about things you can't change in the present. Work to change the future. It's in your hands. We got over Vietnam.
Wow. You are lucky if you even get up to 7 hours of sleep a day.
