WELL, AS YOU KNOW, DISTRACTED IS IN THE HEADLINES. WE CAN BARELY PICK UP A NEWSPAPER WITHOUT AN ARTICLE... |
| 00:03:23 |
|
THE GREATEST TURNING POINT IN HUMAN HISTORY ARE OFTEN TRIGGERED BY CHANGE AND CONCEPTIONS OF TIME AND... |
| 00:26:29 |
|
WE THINK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING TO TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS. AND WHEN YOU HAVE STANDARDS, ASSESSMENTS,... |
| 00:27:49 |
|
YES. I AM SURE, THE CULTURAL VALUES JUST RELATED TO HOW WE MEASURE AND ASSESS CHILDREN ARE HUGE. ... |
| 00:28:04 |
|
NO DEEP LINK THAT EVERYTHING IS VERY SHALLOW. |
| 00:28:10 |
|
I THINK THE BENEFIT IS THAT THERE IS MORE DISCUSSIONS OF THIS ISSUE. IN SOME WAYS, THE CONTROVERSY... |
| 00:30:30 |
|
I WAS A TEACHER AND A SMALL PRIVATE SCHOOL, AND THEN SINCE THEN I DO WORK IN THE SCHOOL. AND THE THING... |
| 00:31:57 |
|
EXACTLY. I THINK THIS LACK OF CONCERN FOR WHAT'S AT THE OTHER END ALSO IS PART OF THE E-MAIL PROBLEMS.... |
| 00:33:34 |
|
I JUST AGREED SO MUCH WITH EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING. I JUST WANT TO CRY. I JUST WANT TO CRY LISTENING... |
| 00:35:28 |

| 00:38:02 |
|
I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID AT THE END OF YOUR PRESENTATION THAT IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO GIVE ATTENTION, YOU... |
| 00:39:19 |
|
I AGREE. I AGREE. AND I THINK THAT WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH BOREDOM, THAT ISN'T DEALING WITH THE... |
| 00:41:02 |
|
OUR COUNTRY SPENDS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND I NOTICE THAT UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES WE ARE NOT WHERE... |
| 00:41:26 |
|
WELL, THAT IS A BIG, BIG QUESTION. IT'S CERTAINLY I THINK A SITUATION MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, A CLASSROOM... |
| 00:43:17 |
|
WITHOUT POINTING FINGERS,. [INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:43:20 |
|
I THINK IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT. I WOULDN'T SAY WE CAN ALL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I GUESS I WOULD PUT... |
| 00:44:30 |
|
I'M CONCERNED WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY, BECAUSE THEY ARE GROWING UP IN THIS AGE. MANY OF US KIND... |
| 00:45:09 |
|
AND HAD A GREAT TIME. REALLY BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. BUT LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, THOSE KIDS. ... |

| 00:46:12 |
|
WHAT ROLE MODELS ARE THEY GOING TO BE FOR THEIR CHILDREN IS WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. |

|
I THINK THAT IS A HUGE POINT, AND A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT. I HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT THOUGHTS. I WILL... |
| 00:49:05 |

I SUBSEQUENTLY HAVE PURCHASED ANOTHER TV, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FIND ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING... |
| 00:52:51 |
