A vision of students today


In the video called “A vision of students today” by students in Michael Wesch’s Anthropology class at KSU. The video suggests that the designed education today is useless. The video is silent no talking only reading signs students hold up making the video feel sad or as though they are presenting bad news. Students are able to spend so much time and money on education but get nothing in return besides an opportunity for a new career for themselves. We go through patterns in school, pay for class, go to class, do homework, and take exams. Students are able to take short cuts using technology in their benefit so students don’t pay full attention. Students are professional multitaskers because the fact is most students don’t see a benefit of doing a bunch of busy work. Once a class is finished a student might relate 26% of the course to actually life, the other 74% is forgotten about and will have no effect on their world or any other humans life. Even though a student is not fully challenged school is completely time consuming and while going to school there is no extra room for a student to go extraordinary.
