The Coolest Thing I've Seen On YouTube Recently





First of all, many thanks to Mr. Ware for showing me this video. I think the most impressive thing is the ability of the border collies. The extent to which they can manage the sheep exactly as the men want, based on a series of whistles is astonishing! If we tried to do the same thing using 6th graders instead of sheep would we be able?

That was amazing and No. 6th graders are not as easy as sheep.

That was intensly cool. I very highly doubt that the 6th grade could do something like that because some people would goof off. I am not going to name names but I know the exact people who would do it. It was cool how they made fire works suddenly explode because they turned on the light on the sheep.

P.S the Chris Brown "With You" Music video is pretty cool :)

Yes, you probably could do that with sixth graders using the teachers as border collies and Mr. Franz as "The General". Another reason why sheep herding works is that sheep aren't very independent, so they usually follow the herd. Sixth graders can be more independent than the sheep, but some times we choose not to be. An example of this is the expression "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump to?" If all people were independent than this expression would not exist.

P.S. I really enjoyed the sheep herding video.

I thought that the video was pretty funny and reall cool. Like Logan said 6th graders would goof off, me probably being one of them. Sheep dont have as big of brains as we do so they probably dont know how to goof off. No offense but dogs are a lot scarier to sheep then teachers are to students. My favorite video Coffee Shop Music Video, its a pretty good song to me, but others might not like it.

NO I don't think that the sixth graders could do this. I think this because the sixth graders would not have the patience or modivation to do this. The sheep on the other hand were forced to do this by something that they are scared of. Over all the video was awesome and I think of sheep way better now.

No, I don't think the 6th graders would be able to acomplish this because Sheep come in a pack, As 6th graders go with only a few people Which most likely they will talk to the whole time. So all in all This will not work out In my opinion. Awesome Video Though.

I think the sixth graders could do it, if they were brain washed. But other than that no i do not think that they could do something so amazing like the sheep.

I thought that the video was very interesting. However if you were to try that with 6th graders, then it would be a total disaster because I know some kids would definitely mess around and misbehave worse than any sheep.
