"You want kids to come to class? You want them to get excited?"

[Squinch]

13. Yes, but this video has no context whatsoever, so we don't know whether the

kid is seeking inspiration, or is mad that the class isn't exciting like his favorite TV show.

We don't know anything about what went on in that classroom from that video except that the kid was mad.

From the description mbperrin gave above, it seems as if his teacher was well qualified, and teaches the school's most difficult students. Often that means students who aren't able to read at the level of the textbook, or who need to have programs tailored to learning disabilities. For individuation with populations that have learning challenges, packets are often needed and it might be a sign of the teacher's dedication that she is providing tailored packets for her students.

It also seems from mbperrin's description as if the student has a spotty history of attendance, as he is an 18 year old in a sophomore class. I imagine this is frustrating.

I find it interesting that the girl at the table near the door appears determined not to look at the kid, and no other kid in the class voiced support of what he is saying.
