RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

...








Your obviously an ...

Your obviously an idiot who's somehow passing as a teacher and pushing YOUR opinions on students. Thats why the parents are hostile toward you!

Attention is a ...

Attention is a muscle. Giving people who don't meditate medication for "ADHD" is like giving kids who don't exercise steroids for muscle deficiency.

I love this, but i ...

I love this, but i do have one issue with it. at 10:48 when he claims that most great learning happens in groups, this is sort of true, but also not. This is because of the difference between Introverts and Extroverts, extroverts may think of great ideas in groups, but the introverts think of great ideas when alone, and do not do well in groups. I am getting this all from another lecture called The Power Of Introverts.

let's put it that ...

let's put it that way: the teachers can't cope with an ever quicker changing world.

they wanted to put ...

they wanted to put my boy on medication because of "ADHD", i replied "over my dead body" and i got him to learn putting computers together; nowadays he is 28 and a successful business man. all he needed were challenges.

they start teaching ...

they start teaching pupils the english language phonetically, these retards; and when I pointed this nonsense out to the teacher ("they have to learn english twice: 1. the phonetic way and 2. the correct way") the teacher said "that's the way it is" - what fuckheads. I'd like to emphasize that my mother tongue is german.

so so, the teachers ...

so so, the teachers are are the victims? example: my son's home work was returned "corrected" with new mistakes made by the teacher. and when i complained about it ("you are confusing him"), she (the teacher) said "everyone makes mistakes". fucking arsehole.

It's easy to accuse ...

It's easy to accuse someone of laziness when you've become a lazy thinker.

people are learning ...

people are learning motor fuctions, you just changed everything that has ever been invented and then told us to do the same thing.. and it aint working. why should we listen to you when most of you were high on coke the last lil bit, thats like a bad parent, well fuck you dad!. motor fuctions bitch, we have to learn how all this shit works together and fucks with performance in the family, school, alone and in the work place. cant figure out where the economy is gunna be, you give us money etc?

Loved it. Only part ...

Loved it. Only part thats missing is that nobody "up there" wants the current system to be changed. How the hell do you oppress a country of free spirits??? Dumb them down and let them get frustrated, makes it easier to distract them with shit and point to the evil.

This is amazing...

This is amazing...

Literally summed up ...

Literally summed up everything I thought about the Edu system! "If we teach practices and lessons that fail in practical society, we are encouraging future generations to fail! It is because of hereditary teachings and our current ideology of a westernized world that we allow such actions to continue."

@ the end, i have a ...

@ the end, i have a question. he says that people should be judged by groups, not separately. What about those people that work WAY better by themselves?

Some teachers are ...

Some teachers are lazy. Some students are lazy. But think of this: Right now, under No Child Left Behind, if 95% of tenth-graders pass the standardized math test this year, and 94% pass next year, they will be a failing school, not above average. Two or three years of 94's, and the government can come in, ignore unions, fire teachers and rearrange classes at will, etc. Meanwhile, a school that got a 55% pass one year, and a 56% pass the next, is a-okay. What's a teacher to do?

Along with the ...

Along with the possibility of some individuals having their ideas extensively repressed or rejected, due to the views of other group members...

Also, he has NO ...

Also, he has NO IDEA what ADHD meds do, and speaks with such authority on a topic he clearly has absolutely no information about. How incredibly annoying.

He didn't call ...

He didn't call ADHD a 'myth,' but he did call its VERY EXISTENCE up for debate. It's not up for debate, pal. So glad you don't have it, but that doesn't mean it's up for debate. Too bad, because so much of this talk was good. I agree that a big problem is that school is ridiculously boring.

Come to North ...

Come to North Carolina! Help GRANVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS. SOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks I will ...

thanks I will rewatch it again

You know what, pal. ...

You know what, pal. You're exactly what we need in this modern world. Let's hear it for the true enquiring mind. And in terms of a personal journey, it'll probably be tremendously satisfying and a lot fun too. Good luck and go for it!

Good God! Are all ...

Good God! Are all RSA videos like this? Its extremely annoying! If I have to watch anymore I'm just listening to the audio. This "animation" is supposed to be enlightening? or maybe entertaining? Are they nuts?

Are all RSA videos ...

Are all RSA videos purposely designed for maximum annoyance? Why not add some fingernails across a blackboard while your at it? When should I turn the sound back on?

I bailed school ...

I bailed school when i was 15, now at 21 im studying physics, math and chemistry. Science is the best tool ever devised, for understanding how the world works. I just couldnt see that then.

Watched this in ...

Watched this in English :)

Veldig god ...

Veldig god refleksjon over utdanningssystemet.
