I am having trouble getting the video to load… does anyone know what time on 5/15?

Kim,

I’m not sure if CNN does staggered broadcasts by time zone or not. Here in FL (EDT) it is scheduled to broadcast on 5/15 at 8PM repeated at 11PM and on 5/16 at 2AM…

I just watched the interview and the show is titled “Education in America: Don’t Fail Me”… Definitely on my must see list…

Regards,

Mike

Yay! I’m so excited to see this on Sunday :slight_smile:

I’ve been heavily promoting it to my students so their families understand more on why robotics is so important to them. Watching the preview really struck a cord with several students on FRC 3320.

Here’s another video for it: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2011/05/12/pkg.soledad.edu.america.cnn

Going to a school where this kind of rigor is encouraged and expected from students, it’s hard for me to realize the challenges the students in the documentary, as well as thousands more, to have the opportunity to perform well. It makes me feel guilty, like I take for granted my opportunities, I guess.

I’m really looking forward to this documentary.
No on better complain about Dean’s speeches…
