A Vision of Students Today

In Michael Wesch documentary about students at Kansas State University it shows students in class like their normal everyday lives with signs showing some interesting overlooked statistics, information and thoughts related to their lives. Information that is gathered from the video is that students waste a lot of money on textbooks and resources that will never get used. Students who after graduation will be twenty- thousand dollars in debt are wasting money on things that will put them further in debt. Statistics say that only a quarter of what is taught in the classroom relate to students in their everyday lives, so what students are spending thousands of dollars on to go to school is big waste cause what they are learning in the classroom will most likely not relate to what they are working for for their futures. The problem today is that technology needs to be used in education to help me more relative to kids everyday lives. With kids having jobs while going to school maybe it would be more helpful if classes could be taken online or some other way. Not to say that all education should be used with newer technology but I don’t think that it would hurt to start better using our resources to help improve education.
