Youtube Video Reaction

After viewing this video, I think that there is a lot of pressure and fault placed on the teacher for the students' shortcomings. I understand the concept of the video which encourages children to be exposed to the technological advances of the day, however, if the equipment needed to make this happen is not readily available, how can this be feasible? In addition, the video had some interesting points. I particularly found it amazing to learn that in the near future, the largest English speaking country will be China. How awesome is that? Clearly, their education system id adamant about the students being properly educated. I am uncertain of the specifics, as that is something that I would like to know to satisfy my curiosity. In regards to the video, it seems to shun the "old" methods of teaching in an attempt to make them obsolete. I don't think there is anything wrong with the old ways, however, I do think that new ideas can be implemented into the curriculum.
