Two Million Minutes Reflection

Two Million Minutes was a pretty interesting documentary that I found to be pretty shocking. It compared how schools are in America, and how schools are in India and China and how we are competing for the same jobs. It showed American schools focusing more on athletics and how Americans scored the highest in "Confidence" and  much lower in academics. To me this shows that we think we are doing a lot better than what we actually are, and to me I feel that there needs to be changes in the education we have. On the flip side it showed schools in India and China are more family based and have a strong support from their family in their education. It also seemed that Americans seem to have more homework than the schools in India and China, but there classes seem to be more vocal and have more interaction, and that seems to be working for them. Overall I don't think its bad were number one in confidence, but I would like America to be higher in education also.
