Yeah, yeah, I know. It's summer. But I need school subjects to discuss in my videos next year. You see, I make videos for the school and . . . yeah, that's about all. So what kind of informative things should I talk about?

What kind of videos do they want you to make exactly? I guess I don't understand the question.

Stuff about fire drills, tests, teacher advisory, etc.

Oh, okay, how about what to do in case of bullying? Or, less seriously, how to bubble in a scantron the right way.

They always make such a big deal about that in my schools.

Sex that is very informal kids need to learn about that stuff.

You could make a video to teach the teachers about teaching. Presenting from a student's point of view the most important "dos" and "don'ts" for teachers. It should not refer to the subjects (however much we may dislike a given subject it is the teachers job to teach it) but rather to kind of tasks, ways of presentation, reactions etc. from student's point of view.

You can make a video about why bulling isn't cool and you can teach them how to stop it if they see it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this - how is it the teacher's problem if the children he or she teaches don't know about sex? Isn't that entirely the parents' duty?
Personally, I am just disgusted by how freelance the school system is with these subjects - they wonder why they have such a problem with sex? Because they bother to flipping teach it.

I can see the appeal for making a vid on bullying, but I don't see how that will help - even after watching an instance of bullying, children are most likely to forget about what they just viewed. Believe me, I just graduated with a degree in children education - what they need is visuals, and time, and patient educators who will give them to tools to learn.
Maybe give a live presentation - have the children participate (NOT with the bullying, though

) just take them through a sceanrio, answer their questions, have them speak their mind. I think that's worth a shot. otherwise, a vid is just stating things plain and simple and not leaving much room for discussion.

That has a lot of potential.

Yeah and it's a great thing to discuss. Since school bullying is a huge problem in schools today. And it will be a very good tool for all the students.

Plus I can relate to it relatively well.
