The Elephant Episode — Part 2
I’m gonna do the same as I did for video number one and go through some of the comments that stand out to me and explore some of their theories about video number 2.
It’s seems pretty clear that the elephant in the room in the video stands for the elephant in the room. I don’t have much to add on this.

The long comment above poses it’s own theory about the video being about the modern education system, although I personally have the feeling that it’s not about that. I do think the comment makes a good point about there being a difference between knowing something and doing something and that comes through strongly in the video. Lots of the characters mention things they know about Elephants but no one tries to actually use their knowledge to help the elephants.
I thought this comment was an interesting one, although I don’t know why or how the person thought Ms. Quilt is a symbol for God. If she was though then I can’t quite understand who all the kids in the classroom stand for. Churches? Politicians?
