You have to see this, I'm enjoying teaching this world history class, but some students have been complaining about having to do readings and my high expectations for you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that you can learn to understand and enjoy history. History is the story of humanity, in all its diversity. In America you have so many advantages that people in other countries don't have, remember that when you are studying for your test. We have gone over this information and I expect great things from you. Please read this article about what students in Africa have to do just to get an education and then take a moment to really think about how seriously you take the opportunities you have not just in history but in all of your classes.
Students in Africa study outside under street lights because there is little electricity in their homes. These students do not make excuses, they find a way. They realize that THEY are responsible for their education. Excuses and complaining get you nothing in life.
