This video is titled “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes. It has almost eight million views. We talked in class about the degree that children are listened to. After watching this I think that maybe children can make a difference. She points out that our parents didn’t have the same worries growing up as we do now. It amazes me just how much our history has changed in the last years. She also pointed out that we teach our children certain values in school, but we don’t model them in the real world. I had never really thought about this. Maybe it will take a child saying these things to make adults stop and think about it. The fact that this video has almost eight million views shows that maybe one child can make a difference. I thought it was a really powerful video. As a teacher, I have to keep this in mind, and know that I am instilling values and knowledge. I have to be very careful what values and knowledge I do leave my student with.
