The Natives Are Restless

Thanks to Darren and Chris for sharing with us.

How much longer should our students have to wait for their schools to listen to them.  The kids in the video said more without talking than most adults who oppose their message say in defense of filters, banning cell phones, and bad-mouthing social networks.

Thanks to the students who participated in the Pan Canadian Literacy Forum.  Great example of what happens when teachers are given the opportunity to be professional. 

NOTE: Irony is not lost.
