I am Caucasian...


   For starters, I feel like the article, "Blame the Students" article and the article "Two Million Minutes"both are somewhat biased. The argument about education in America and the lack of motivation many American's have. I can tell you this much, it's not the first time I've heard this argument. My daddy actually makes that observation pretty much every single time we talk about school. I found myself  getting quite irritated and annoyed, when I was reading.  Most likely because while reading, I would start to think about the words I saw on paper, and it made me realize that, that statement was one hundred percent correct.  It's so sad that many Americans are just having life handed top them on a silver platter, and are using their money to buy the intelligence.  These children barely have to even work anymore, or as hard.  The author kind of states that the only kids falling into this trap or category are while kids.  I am Caucasian, I work super hard in school, and I am a white/Caucasian girl,who get's great grades.I also remember when the Indian girl in the video said "American students have dream lives." I never really thought of it like that. They spend their lives studying and we spend our lives socializing. This sounds bad, almost like Americans' don't value education. I'm glad I don't have to study all the time.  I could neverr never never ever, do that! Just watch...watch me as I succeed.
