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.

Good point. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk, I didn't mean to.I was trying to show a kid/teenager's point of view.

your surprised about contradictions from some heartless bureaucrat running your education camp? what you dont get is that the "adults" at your school are at a JOB. a job that has no competition in the marketplace so they can provide you with whatever quality of service they want. want to know how to fix education? abolish the existence government

Adults should guide us just as much as we should care. At least focus on accepting your own responsibilities if you're going to tell us to. If you take care of that, I garuntee you these statistics will change drastically. Just to make it clear, this doesn't go out to all the parents, teachers, and so on of the world. You know who you are.

Sometimes I just don't get it. I am a middle schooler going into the 8th grade, and I don't know what adults are trying to tell me sometimes. You guys tell us to enjoy our childhood and live it up one day, and then tell us to focus on the future the next. Which one is it? Are you guys more angry at us than worried? I just don't understand.

Interesting video. With so many distractions, I am surprised anyone gets to class at all these days. Are degrees too "old school" anyway?

Well, I'm assuming that these statistics are an average, and there's about as many below as above. A student who spends a matter of hours studying per week, is busy on their laptop in class, and doesn't open their textbooks more than a few times out of class isn't likely to come away with more than a shred of experience. There's really no reason they should be in school, but they probably are getting a free ride from parents or scholarships, and don't care all that much.

I think the point is that for many reasons this generation learns in different ways and by different means than previous generations. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with the students or with the ed. system; instead, the video is asking us when, why, and how should Higher Ed change to meet the fundamental shift that has occurred in its students.I would argue that your first sentence would have been said by the academic "old guard" at every 20th century major generational change.

This seems to show more that most people who are in college probably shouldn't be. At least that's what I'm getting out of it. If that's an average, then it means that quite a few students in there really aren't doing much in the way of schoolwork.
