A Vision of Students Today

a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

FANTASTIC VIDEO! I am a Retired TEACHER not an Educator! What is going on in our schools today borders on "Child Abuse". Students are not taught to THINK they are taught to THINK LIKE THE EDUCATOR! This is not TEACHING it is INDOCTRINATION! Schools have lost all sense of Mission and Perspective! They are trying to prepare students for a WORLD that doesn't EXIST anymore! Students WANT to Learn, They Want to Think! Schools are Letting them down and destroying HOPE!

God Bless our STUDENTS!

I think I see the point but in reality, if you want to get more out of it, don't bring your damn laptop to class... why so complicated? It's a privilege to be able to attend University, I felt that privilege every time I sat in a lecture or lab. Grow up a bit maybe?

@celtichero9 As a student, I agree completely. I have tried to explain this to my "teachers", but few seem to care. All they seem to care about is grant money for their own research. Somehow, the program still has a great reputation, but that comes only from all the proud alums in the area. It's a broken system, and sadly, no one seems to care.

As a college student myself who despises work in all of its forms, I somewhat agree with the video's message, since I can't remember the last time I legitimately learned something in a classroom outside of the key words needed to pass the next test. The SUPER SERIOUS OUR CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING tone, though, I could do without. Man do these fuckers know how to whine. Counting a day as 26 hours when only three of them are in class (which are FB'd through)? Should I call the waahmbulance for you?
