    My rating compared fairly well with others, though more persons thought it was more beneficial than the group I fell in. I agree that it wold activate a response in those who may have experienced difficulties in school. I am not sure it would appeal to others. So although a positive piece of propaganda, I am not sure it is quite effective.

    Yes it activated positive emotion and in a general sense is drawing a limited attention to different schools and what they have funding for.

    My rating was with the top rated group- beneficial. I think this ad really pulls on the audiences feelings. This is positive propaganda.

    My rating was vastly different than everyone else's. Everyone seemed to be beneficial more than anything else, which makes sense because it is not really harmful

    This definitely activates emotion when you watch it. It would be helpful if a solution to the problem was suggested. I agree with everything they said, but what I can do about it?

    This particular propaganda points out that there is a such thing as class segregation. Different locations tend to have different opportunities, and that is a bad thing. However, the ad does not offer any tangible solutions, nor does it point out any ways we can--as a society--get involved in the change. It benefits because it points out a problem, but fails because it does not offer a solution... it only theorizes the possibilities.

    In addition, it does not offer any empirical information that may benefit its cause, which leads me to believe that they did not bother to find any.

    Even though I rated this as beneficial, I also think that it can be somewhat harmful. What I mean by this, is that students who attend a "poor" school may use this as an excuse not to try hard because either way he or she is bound to fail.

    I think this video illustrates a common narrative in the American education system that is often swept under the rug or otherwise overlooked.

    I didn't think it was harmful because all they did was talk about where they grew up

    I think that this piece of propaganda is very beneficial and gets across a powerful message. Schools for young people of all ages can make or break a young persons life.
