PLN rewrite
A Vision of Students is about students at KSU feeling like education isn't working by current method. These students were self surveyed. They felt like technology didn't really help them in their learning. They so much as said it was never just used for its purpose in education. They also said that classes were never personal enough. These students said that classes were 115 students and and that 18% of their teachers knew their names. The video also gave some more statistics on how some students had paid for class, but never actually came. Kids had text books that they paid $100's of dollars for, but never opened. This video made it obvious that the students were not satisfied with the current education.
I feel like A Vision of Students is correct, to some degree. You definitely can't generalize about education in America. Not every public school is bad, and every city has different schools. I in my life time have had some very good public schools. I've heard some are bad. Technology definitely isn't always used for its intended purpose. I always get distracted with it. It can though be very helpful in schools. I think education in America could be better if the right people did the right things. So, these kids had the idea partially right, but it's not entirely accurate. On a side note the video was pretty cool though.
