What did the video make me think?
How did the video make me feel?
What is my role as a teacher?

This video makes me feel like American students are behind other students in the world. It absolutely shocked me that more students in China took the AP test in English than American students did. If the Chinesse have a better knowledge of English than American students, and English is the native language in the United States, that's absolutely pathetic. It means that American students are slacking. As a teacher, it's our role to ensure that students work up to their potential. We need to make sure that students do their homework, and pay attention in class. As teachers we need to teach them information that will help them in the future so that the United States continues to stay a world leader. We need to stop teaching towards standardized tests and start teaching students information that will help them in real life situations. In school, teachers need to grade students more harshly if they're wrong so when they go home, they research new things and actually learn the information that they were supposed to learn in the first place. The fact that India has more honor students than America is not necessarily a bad thing because it can inspire our students to do better. This video really made me think about the future consequences on this country if education doesn't change.
