Blog- theres a man in the woods

            This is the link to a video which I personally feel speaks volumes about the way school systems have been corrupted in recent years. Although dark, this short film sends a powerful message about the way school have changed in recent years. That children are running the class rooms now because if a teacher "steps out of line", a line drawn by the parents no less, they will be fired. Years ago if a child failed a test, that child's parents would yell at the child and punish them for not working hard enough, now if a child fails a test it is somehow the -teachers- fault? For some bizzare reason if something goes wrong int he class room it is the teachers fault, rather than the students. At several points in the film, parents obsession with the belief that their children are all "little angels" is shown to be a naive and false assumption. As someone who is only recently become and adult, and who has memories of his years as a child, I can assure you, that NOT all children are honest little angels, in fact it is quite the opposite. I remember as a child being able to lie and have people believe me, simply because I was a child and how dare someone,"... Accuse a child of being dishonest? Monstrous." People love to assume children are innocent of everything however, it is not always so. As a child I knew I could take advantage of this belief, and I'm sure many other children did as well. Although I may not have been as insidious as the character Sid, nor my lies as a child been as severe, it is still a point that needs to be made. Parents need to understand that children can be dishonest, and although every parent will fight to the death, or ruin someone else's life, to defend the fact that their child is NOT one of the dishonest ones, they need to understand that when it happens, it isn't the teacher, or the other persons kid, it's yours. Rather than denying it and letting it persist, stop it, teach your child the right way to be, instead of insisting that they are inherently that way when they are not. Students should not be the ones running the classes, teachers should be. The fact that one lie could destroy a teachers reputation forever is a travesty. Many parents are blinded to their child's dishonesty by their own pride, and that in its own right is wrong. I have watched and re-watched this video many times and looked over many of the details and there is much more to this video than one could gather by simply watching it once.
