The documentary film, "Two Million Minutes," highlights bleak contrasts in the educational experiences, perspectives, and expectations of high school students in the United States, China, and India. I feel that American students should try harder to keep their minds in school. They seem to be to busy, worried about whats going on in the streets and with their friends. It also is sad how it really shows America isn't as advanced as other schools in more than just technology. The thing I found interesting was what the film said to be America's four great educational myths.
1. Our kids are more well-rounded.
2. Asian education is rote memorization.
3. Our kids are more creative and more innovative.
4. U.S. education is the best in the world.
This is so true and so sad to think about. America needs to wake up!
