But if YouTube is going to be accepted and used in schools on a large scale it will need to begin higher up than the ground. Unfortunately, students don't believe they have a voice, or purposely not given one, in many schools. So YouTube's reputation and use depends on the administrators.
There's needs to be a top-down change in policy. Principals need to educated on the benefits of YouTube and not only the downfalls. Just as students are taught to take all sides into consideration, so do parents, teachers, and administrators.
If we haven't done enough to convince you to use YouTube in schools during the week, we hope you'll seek out resources and individuals that will at least give you some of the positive ways YouTube is being used so that you have a "Fair and Balanced" view.

We'd also like to take a moment to remember those that lost their lives 10 years ago today in the tragic events of 9/11. Our hearts go out to the families that are still dealing with a tremendous loss after such a terrible and senseless act.
We hope that in time we'll understand that all of this is part of God's good and perfect plan. We pray that as time begins to heal deep wounds, that God will work in the lives of those affected and a part of the events. God bless you, and God Bless America!
