how do you have a discussion about changing education without race or class? "adhd is (maybe) a myth", are you fucking kidding me? that's hardly the worst thing happening even if it were true! school-to-prison pipeline, anyone? the absurdly high drop out (PUSHED out) rates? the drawings are nice but the lecture's fatuous. the most common key to success is privileged socioeconomic status! so yes, his works apply to a select few, but what about the swathes of kids not even getting that much?

Speculating about the geniuses of kindergarteners was not the point. The point is that kindergarteners have more potential for creativity, Schooling does make an adult know more but makes them passive.
23456Mr1 Says:
Public education is inefficient anyway, especially in an era where the Internet can provide more information than low-paid teachers can ever do.
best496 Says:
Why do we have to take English 4 times in high school to graduate? I think we should only have to take English two times and take mathematics and science four times each. I speak English, I learned it when I was born so why should I have to take it so much in high school?
universalsailor Says:
Just what we need, another buzz word ... You limit kids by not making them fluent in the three Rs. Teach a child to read and express him/herself with good grammar, and make him/her numerate. There's your grounding for everything else. Perhaps the biggest need today is to teach everyone to take responsibility for their own shortcomings and then remedy them.There's way too much "it's not my fault" thinking doing the rounds.
drnrqsldch Says:
Is not about teaching art... is the way you teach stuff, or "limitate" the minds of the children.
Ja14111948 Says:
don't forget the laziness of teachers.
Eoghanlebar Says:
He aint WRONG, but he doesn't really have anything useful to say. Siegfrieg Engelmann has taken education to the level of a SCIENCE with Direct Instruction (DI), and hardly anyone knows or cares. Michel Thomas's language lessons use the same principles of design as DI to make em work 100 times more efficiently than any other language learning program out there. Engelmann and Michel Thomas both have (had) critical marketing failures, but if you want to fix education, LOOK TO THEM!
SDS4BO Says:
The question is not how do we fit children into a future economy, the question is, when will we provide them examples of frugality, thriftiness, and prudence, right now? Don't worry about the children when your own government is spending itself into the toilet and leaving the burdens to the children. Worry about how you will find some repsonsible adults to take the reins back from the immature jokers in our country's administration.
norevelation Says:
Emotions aside, acknowledging my poor education as a reason to my financial situation is not an "everyone else's fault" mentality. I'm actually having difficulty understanding how you became of that assumption considering the inconsistencies of the connection. Oh well, I have given it more speculation than needed.
IG8E8 Says:
You want to know the problem today with grade school level children? LAZINESS Laziness in students, laziness in parents. They do not care anymore, and beyond that some parents are even hostile to anyone, especially educators, who do give a damn and try to get their kids to actually do and learn something.
IG8E8 Says:
I dont disagree with all points in the vid, but some are off. Not all kindergarteners are geniuses. Read any study you want, then try to actually get those hypothetical answers out of a real life 5yo.
delmodet Says:
I am sorry, but I do not agree with the fact that "Great learning happens in groups, colaboration is the stuff of growth". Many kids work better alone. Good video but incomplete. I don't know...
devibeatrack Says:
...they wanted to make a superior being out of you so other children couldn't possibly catch up with you. by the way: for me beethoven is the justin bieber of the 18th century. way more playful and complex are chopin and bach. in comparison to them beethoven is like hardcore porn while the latter ones are like nude art (by rodin, botticelli, davinci, etc.).
devibeatrack Says:
...themselves with these kids as well as they profit from the poor kids getting depressive because they realize that there's no way to make it in a system where the positions are given away from the start. Of course the rich will bluff that "everybody" has the same chances - but that's just a trojan to lure the poor into this game.
devibeatrack Says:
...depressed by seeing that the kids of richer people get preferred. Of course every now and then the "upper" caste picks a "poor" kid and supports it in order to bluff the "poor" people of whom the "rich" think that they will generalize this - and that the "poor" will blame themselves for "not making it". The fact that higher castes want to force the kids of the "poor" people into school shows that they need the kids of the poor because the rich kids profit from comparing ...
devibeatrack Says:
Schools - they're not here to educate people. They're here to discriminate with indirect methods. Children whose parents get a small amount of money (even if it's them who do the system-relevant work) should get ...

wow
TheChosenrebel Says:
Compelling but not complete. much to like and process into our own educational and discipling processes in the church. But there is also the tendency to shift so radically that we end up with an equal but opposite imbalance.

I want that drawing. Where can I find it?
Personnotavailable Says:
thinking capabilities,so we can't blame it all on public education,we should test those same people again when they are in their twenties or thirties,but I think that it is partially the public education's fault
