"A vision of Students Today" summarry by Derek Turner

The video opens up as an empty classroom, with questons on the chairs. Then the camera is focused on the chalkboard with it saying "The information is up here." During this video, the video text looks at how students are paying attention to everything else in the classroom instead of whats on the board. Shortly after music starts playing and i t shows short notes and quotes that each student has written. These notes range from, " I spend 2 hours a day eating." to "I complete 49% of the readings assigned to me." The video text shows that all these students have different views, when all the information is up front on the chalkboard, njot whats going on around you, the internet, etc. Pay attention in class, the views are interesting, and the learning is in your hands not your teachers. Finally, at the endof the video it refers to "back to the basics" and shows the chalkboard again, insisting that students should pay more attention or focus on the education at hand instead of all the other random factors and distractions.
