I think that this video is really cool, and I also think that Prince EA brings up some good pints and flaws about the school system. I also really like the comparison that he made, about a car from a long time ago (I think it was 100 years ago), and a modern car, and all of the differences and advancements in the technology, and a telephone from a long time ago, and a modern phone, and all of the technological advancements between those two, and then, he showed a school/classroom from a long time ago, and a school/classroom from today, and there was NO differences. Us humans have really focused on technological advancements in the wrong things, We tried to make better cars, and better phones, but we haven't worked towards bettering the things that REALLY matter, like our schools. All of the kids that go to the schools now are OUR future, yet we haven't done anything to make the school experience better, or changed anything at all. Why? Those kids are our next generation, and we haven't worked towards helping them in school. Prince EA also brings up the point that all standardized tests are to be taken alone, when in reality, you will almost ALWAYS have somebody to help you with things, so why must students learn to do all of their standardized tests alone? Humans clearly have to make lots of advancements in the school system, so our future generations will be better and more successful than they would be if they had the same school system as us.

I really like this video for many videos. He is right in the real life we work together and we deserve to work together. Also the teachers don’t own us we deserve to many things in school but the teachers ( not Mr.Meyer) tell we have to do this or that but we don’t. I really like Prince EA because he always has a better attitude and inspires people in a good way.

This is incredible! What Prince Ea is saying is so true. Students believe they are bad or dumb because they fail a class, but at the same time that same person may be thriving in another subject. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. People should be able to use their strengths to help others, not use their weaknesses to make themselves think they are stupid. Also, Prince Ea showed that schools have not changed much in 150 years even though almost everything else has advanced and become easier or better. So, my question is what if schools were better for the students, easier, less tests. If this happens, I am sure that many many more kids will want to come to school and not think of it as torture. Lastly, Prince Ea states that even though students are only 20% of our population, they are 100% of our future! This is so wise and powerful. In order to make the world a better place, we need schools to teach about kindness, empathy, friendship, loyalty, etc. Not just reading science, and math, though these subjects are important to, if we cannot communicate and help others, the entire school system is useless. Without kindness, people wouldn't help those in need. People wouldn't be compassionate or empathetic. We need these things. So, dear government, please teach about good character traits, not just things you've been teaching since the '60s.

I got inspired by this because kids shouldn't be treated like this because we are kids and we still need to learn more. I didn't like this school at all be. As he said, if if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. I really believe that this could be true. That is what this school did and I really do not like that because if you are telling someone they are stupid, they will think that their whole life and never go anywhere in life because we discouraged them.

I really love this video because it is true what Albert Einstein said. I hated what this school did because if they are telling the kids they can't do anything, they will think that their whole life and never go forward because of you. We have to encourage everyone because if we tell everyone they can't do anything, we will be behind all of this and we will be in trouble(kinda). I am glad this guy sued this school because these students shouldn't be carried away like this because of the teachers. I got inspired by Albert Einstein's quote because it tell me a lot and to encourage people instead of discouraging them.

I really like this video, because Prince EA makes some really good points about many of the flaws in the school system. He showed a car from about one hundred years ago, and a modern car, and there was a HUGE difference, with all of the technological advancements between the two, and then he showed a phone from about one hundred years ago, and a modern phone, which again, had HUGE differences between them, showing that we have focused so much on technological advancements. Then, he showed a school/classroom from one hundred years ago, and a school/classroom from now, and there was NO differences at all. This shows that we focused WAY too much on advancements in our technology, and not NEARLY enough on what really matters. We haven't worked AT ALL on our schools, which is really a huge problem, because the kids in school right now are all OUR future, and if we don't do anything to help them, it will be very hard for them to better our world, and it won't be their fault.

I have a lot to say. First of all, wow. Prince Ea makes a pretty good point. Everyone should see this video. I used to go to a Montessori school, which are named after Maria Montessori, and it is way ahead. It cost more money, but teachers get payed more. Kids learned way more stuff. There was no homework. There were 2 or 3 teachers per class. Our recess was like an hour long. This gave me a jump start on all subjects. Prince Ea is right. Schools now are the same as 100 years ago. We need to stop worrying about technological advancements, and more about school advancements.

I like Prince Ea uses phrases like to not force fish to climb trees. Us students have lived our life depending on these schools just to get those letters, numbers those scores to get their dream come true, to find and make our future. But this video changed me today and tomorrow and everyday. Not everything is about those numbers those scores, it’s also about our future our dream to live our fullest. We also have to right to change to adopt just like those cars, those phones. And we will stand to dream to fulfill what we want to do and we want to be. So I think this video is the best not just because of entertainment not because of funniness but because of our future and dreams.
