I like how they say "What are children doing wrong?"
I mean, here's an amazing thought: YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
Just look at the logic behind that statement:

1. The government really began to push education.
2. Our childrens' scores fell.
3. Therefore, the children aren't learning well.

Now, I like how they show people saying "It's government policy" in the video, but that headline is just so... wrong, really. It's misleading. Instead of saying "The government is screwing with education, this is bad," it says "The children don't learn like they should."
I also like how they have people saying "We're too paranoid and afraid that teenagers will misbehave and this may very well lead to a bad learning environment."
Then they turn around and say "Poor kids don't work with the system" and then have yet another person saying that it's because they've been let down before.
They finish the whole thing off with people saying that they want kids to learn the basics.

In summation, this is a case of a fair and balanced newscast being labeled with a sensationalist headline that leaves people who don't bother to watch the video with the wrong idea.
