I see a lot of truth in this poster. At my high school, my old one, I see that most kids undervalue or do not at all see the value of math or science, or any subject for that matter. During class I see kids who are just sitting in the back and spend the entire class on their iPhone texting or checking facebook. I see kids, kids in AP and honors, texting in class, disrespecting teachers (this part makes me really mad), cheating (you wouldn't believe how absurd this got), and just constantly complaining about how teacher so and so gives us "so much homework" (taking notes on a chapter due next week) or "Why do we have to learn history". I get frustrated with kids today (even though I am still one) because I see an overall devaluement of education and that most kids (at my old school) only care about facebook or other stuff like that. I see the importance of social interaction and having fun but I really do not think it is necessary to be on your computer, iPhone, or whatever for most of the day.
Also I understand what it is like to not be good at school, I have ADD (pretty bad too) and struggle everyday to focus on school and especially struggle to get homework done. I am not one of those kids who is just naturally smart and does not know why other kids aren't necessarily smart.

This poster does in my opinion embody what many of the modern day American students have become. I left my old high school because I disapproved of the cheating and apathetical attitude towards school. As a student who has had to deal with this I think the poster's message is quite spot on.
