As the cyclical and seemingly never ending discussion about education rages on, the topic – somewhat ironically, typically poses a lot more inquiries than it supplies answers. But what is the worth of mainstream schooling? Why is it that some of the most higher profile and effective figures inside the Western globe overtly admit to by no means obtaining concluded any type of increased studying? Paying out homage to Jefferson Bethke’s “Why I Loathe Religion but Love Jesus”, a piece that obtained 22 million sights in the space of a week, I deal with a quantity of these issues in my offering “Why I Detest University, but Enjoy Education and learning”. With scores of college leavers wanting to more their schooling with no ensure of their aspiration occupation at the finish of it, we should inquire ourselves whether qualifications still hold the same price now as they did in prior a long time? Does success in the school method correlate to success in existence? Or is the college technique just geared toward truth retention and regurgitation?

What percentages of the kids tested genius the second and third time around? =/ It sounds like it was dubbed out or something.
I think that this is very useful information for teachers, school and politics…
It’s a fact that a lot of children are bored and don’t fit in the today’s school system although they have a lot of qualities.
I was diagnosed with adhd but refused to take medication for it and live like a zombie!
so all my education time I was told to sit still, to concentrate, to walk in line.
I became so unhappy and so unmotivated that i quit school. It was clear that i didn’t fit in like so many others…
He misinterpreted the enlightenment view on education! There was another view which said a teachers job is to layout a string where the student finds themselves and learns their own way ! So this guy is kind wrong but I agree with the reat
obviously you liked to learn too when you were younger, otherwise you would not be talking
Some people like learning about things.

What is your mother tongue? Your English is spotless except for the “not for anything”, I’m curious to know where it came from.
I agree, expansion without some form of concentration is silly. But with the idea that people can learn, and that we will be interested in classes in my opinion, surpasses the idea that we will learn about nothing. Because if we are learning those things then eventually (hopefully sooner than later) we will be able to learn more thing, and actually end up learning them.
Oh yeah sorry, it seems I didn’t read your comment well, thought you were arguing the opposite. Well, I’m a proponent of integrating more into the compulsory curriculum rather than less. Here in Europe we learn close to nothing about the EU or how it works, so you wonder what the whole point of expanding is if nobody understands what it’s all about in the first place.
Im not denying history’s necessary, you need to know the past in order to avoid those mistakes in the future, history’s important so we can learn from past mistakes and achievements. And i agree they give us quintessential tools, but perhaps not quite enough.
Of course it doesn’t teach you how to become an active citizen but it gives you some of the quintessential tools, and believe me, history IS necessary, especially in the US where historical memory is typically near-sighted.
I dont learn quite enough on how live as an individual in a society from school, school doesn’t teach me how to do well in an interview, doesn’t teach me how to get student loans if i want to continue with an education to get a degree that MIGHT get me a job. It doesn’t teach me how to drive, and it certainly doesn’t teach me how to be a loyal citizen or show me how i can make a positive difference on this world. Some classes may be there for a reason but they are sure missing out on a few.
Perhaps it’s time to face up to the fact that it’s not all about you and your needs. It’s not because you didn’t personally benefit from gym class that it’s de facto useless. The 2 examples you gave -gym and history- though they may not benefit you personally, they benefit the collective, which the education system also caters to. Deal with it.
No I shouldn’t. So cause I didn’t do any homework and scored better than the rest of my class on tests I should look like shit on paper?
Fuck that.
Performance rules. Especially under pressure, aka tests.
Not my fault you gimps need personal training and coaching to PASS.
I disagree with you. Me as well as many others in my class that hated gym just so happened to be the most physical, and biggest in our classes. We chose better things in life. Like thinking.
WTF is badminton, flag-football, baseball, floor-hockey, and kickball gonna teach us about shit?
I got better exercise from weightlifting and jogging than I ever did from gym class.
Yes, you should get a C. That’s one thing that a C can mean. I earned a number of them myself. No creativity was crushed. It is a system, some is bad and should be improved, some is good and should be perpetuated. This video is simplistic and one sided.
Sir Ken Robinson – with his honorary degree at RISD and his background as a respected arts educator, should be well aware of the power of the images that depict teachers so negatively. Art has great power when wielded both negatively and positively. This is negative.
School isn’t there only to prepare you for employment, it’s also there to educate you as an individual living in a society. If you didn’t have gym class, you might not become accustomed to physical activity and therefore have a higher chance of becoming obese and developing health issues, which entail both a direct and indirect cost to society. Gym class is there for a reason.
You have power to chose your education insofar as you chose one of the options available, which are limited and not born of your suggestions. Let’s assume the choice is great. Still, for the most part, you chose what you learn, not how you are taught it, which is a significant part of this video and a significant part of your education and how you will function as an employee and in society.
2236 are Justin Biber fans !!
too true mate a piece of paper counts for alot in todays society
This is honestly a load of bollocks. I see what you’re trying to get at, but picking out a handful of individuals really doesn’t prove anything in the slightest. A lot of people go to university in order to become wiser which “statistically” as you seem to always refer to leads to better life satisfactory. “Success” is a hard term to define, everyone has a different understanding of what the word actually means. For most people, this can include graduating from university and looking back
true, true!
Your inspiring, you should perform at one of the tedx events
Your comment is outdated by 10-20 years.
its not that we need school to be educated its we need school to get a piece of paper that will enable us to get a paycheck and the more pieces of paper we have to show the better chance we will have to get an even bigger paycheck that’s how society has evolved now they don’t hire you for what you can do but for what others say you can do
trebuia sa apara unu 8-|
Let me bow in front of you !
