Edison "Focusing on Academics" v2

Made all of Marla's suggestions and I really like the text. I've put text in all the clips in two ways: As text over black and as a sort-of subtitle over the first image of the sections described. I think that we can use both, but I'm happy to go either way. I don't feel like the text over black slows things down too much--it functions for me as a little breathing room to think about what you just watched.

Ilona's comments work as a nice intro to this piece (between the overall title and the section title). I wonder if this approach would work in the other clips?

See other notes on treatment of titles/text for consistency.

Please change "AP Calculus" to "AP Classes" to broaden the topic.

The ELL segment is longer than the others...maybe it could be tightened a bit? I think the student reading at the beginning, and the exchanges toward the end are the strongest pieces. Maybe shorten teacher's read aloud and begin with "the world was a...."

Thanks!
