We want to focus on helping all students know they belong. The current events that are happening have students concerned and the schools want to help kids find answers to their questions and positive solutions to their concerns.

Teachers were excited to have their kids back in class and to welcome some new ones. The students seemed to be rested and ready to go back to work. Everybody's looking forward to a great second semester, and based on the first day, we're off to a good start.

This is one of the events that the students look forward to, it gives them a patriotic feeling to know that people risked their lives to save American.

The Moore and (Sean) Hannity events were huge and caused a major focus on campus last year. A lot of people expressed their opinions to us, and in return we were able to communicate to a lot of people that we normally would not have.

The wheels fell off in the last two events. I'm not sure if it was a lack of focus, a lack of trusting our abilities. Whatever it was, it certainly proved that we were not the best team that day.

WIDE ANGLE brings a rare and needed focus to the events shaping our global neighborhood. Through this series, PBS is committed to helping viewers understand the rapidly shifting, interconnected world in which we all live and work.
