Wow this video is absoloutly outstanding. I was at home late last night when I sat on the couch and decided to watch the news for once. The first thing on was the talk about a youtube video " Kony 2012". I saw mere clips of the video on the news and immedietly recognized it as the video we had watched in class, I had never before seen that video before, the time we had watched it in classs had been my first exposure to the video, I went onto youtube and searched up the video...AND WOW! It struck me hard that something was finally being done, we were the ones fighting to bring this evil man down to " make him famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice." what they want to do and they way that they plan to achieve it something that I TRULEY admire. Someone has finally cared enough to stop the bad instead of waiting for someone to end it for them and everybody else.

Fantasy/violence should not be used for learning!

Recently I came across an article regarding a teacher that used racisim and inapproriate violence in oreder to " encourgae" math. The teacher had given thrid graders math problems using things such as " Humans in ovens" " a SWAT team memeber kills hundreds of terrorist". The teacher had said that she was trying to get math exciting for the kids by using what " they like most ". I don't think that this is approriate action to get the children a bit more excited for the subject. Especially for third graders. At this age kids should not be exposed to such violence. The parents were furious and these " math problems" cost the teacher her job.
