    After 25 years of teaching I can tell you first hand, he is 100% correct. Those running our education system (not the teachers by the way) are doing a horrible job. It is being run exactly the way they want it, the problem is the goals they have do not aline with what is best for the students or society.

    I completely agree with Elon's views about education. Children need problem solving skills, which require actual thought and creativity rather than memorizing facts. My daughter is a creative teacher who quit teaching at public school and started private tutoring so she could teach her way. She would love teaching at this school!

      80% so up through about 9 or 10th grade ?
      So you didn’t learn to read? You didn’t learn reading and auditory comprehension?
      Do math? Like percentages when you comment on videos?
      You didn’t learn socially acceptable behaviors that differ from toddlers?
      So you’re sad you might’ve been taught how to do reading and math using facts that didn’t FEEL relevant, but those skills didn’t get used in your life?
      You didn’t end up learning how to be on time for things? How to time manage by getting assignments done on time? Do cooperative work with group projects? How to share public spaces?
      They may not be explicitly on a test but you more than likely went to a school that encouraged and reinforced those skills. Or at least provided you a learning opportunity that you could have taken advantage of to learn those skills.

Think about it you were basically told to sit down and shut up for hours at a time to regurgitate what the teacher said.

    I taught private music lessons for 26 years. I noticed that home schooled kids in general were more skilled, & overall 'smarter' than the other kids. They were followed by private schooled kids, then charter schools, with public schooled kids being dead last. I later taught ESL English for a private company. They were efficient & extremely effective in teaching. I finally ended up teaching social studies at a public school for 6 years. I was shocked at the level of incompetence, red tape, & flat out questionable tactics employed by the system. The teachers were NOT the problem, it was the system we were locked in. I ended up quitting & I'm now in business for myself teaching English. It is really difficult to put into words how self sabotaging the public school system is. One of the deans pretty much was knows as the master of disaster because whatever was working & effective she'd pretty much change & turn it into a total clusterf**k of inefficiency. I wholeheartedly agree with Elon on this. Don't even get me started about colleges & universities....

      There is one education money pot. Funding has been siphoned from traditional public schools and given to charter schools and the voucher program. Traditional public schools have been under attack for decades by privatizers. There is ZERO evidence that charter schools out-perform traditional public schools and, in fact, are doing poorly in many parts of the US like, for instance, Ohio, where most of the charters schools are under-performing. Charters are rife with money mismanagement and they have WASTED a billion dollars in education funding. Vouchers often result in students attending religious private schools which teach fiction. If all traditional public schools were fully funded and politicians, non educators and privateers would keep their noses out of a profession for which they are NOT experts, traditional public schools would be much better. By robbing Peter to pay Paul, charters has siphoned off so much funding that traditional brick and mortar schools are in a state of disrepair, they have teacher shortages and crowded classrooms. Traditional public schools have had to get rid of nurses, teacher aids, librarians, counselors, and before and after school programs thanks to charters and vouchers. And, thanks to high stakes standardized testing, testing we don't need and that is hugely expensive to administer, traditional public schools have had to focus on Language Arts and Math causing learning loss in other subjects like Civics but isn't a dumb populace what big business wants? The US has a perfectly good test, NAEP, aka the Nation's Report Card also called the National Assessment for Education Progress. Traditional public schools used to be quite good and the envy of the world until privatization started. Traditional public schools turned out critical thinkers who later became US presidents. There's money in data and charters and vouchers. Charters are either privately owned or privately managed and there's little accountability or oversight. That's why they wasted a billion dollars. Look it up.

    Most if not all the examples of successful dropouts he gave went to private schools and had wealthy parents. An ordinary person can’t afford to take such a risk, and most would fail. That said, I agree with most of what he said. I thought a lot about what university gave me, and about the only thing was to prove that I could work hard and succeed. However, in most job interviews the interviewers had a poor view of top grades, probably because they didn’t get top grades, and want to make someone with too grades look stupid. Some interviews have work related tests e.g. create a program to represent in 3D capacitance on a touchscreen. I always did well at those.
    In my view most education enforces obedience, which is what most employers seek. They reward mediocrity, most employers cannot cope with autonomous employees. Tesla is an exception.

    He is very smart. I think it depends on what profession you go into if you go to college or not. Obviously if you want to be a doctor or lawyer going to college would be necessary. It would also matter what career path to choose to support yourself. There are many great apprenticeship programs out there. I have seen people who went to college who were very successful in their career path and those who didn’t choose college who were equally successful.

    For me school was literally as bleak as in Pink Floyd's The Wall. It was the beginning of a lot of trauma. I had teachers laugh at my future goals and tear up other students art and make them cry. Elon's school sounds very practical, hands on, and a bit more fun and engaging.

    The educational system stifles learning it certainly doesn't encourage it. The educational system teaches individuals to get in line and play follow the leader, just like in everything else that is associated with the human experience. Most of the educational system is like most everything else in our society you have nuances that you simply cannot overcome. Daydreaming is also part of education, most educators certainly don't believe in that. I find it benificial to be independent and approach it from that angle.

    Most young people inspire by Elon . When he gives that kind of motivation is not for everyone so, I would like to say that when you give advice or motivational speech encourage young kids to be themselves work hard to achieve their goals instead telling them our educational system is terrible. I don’t say we have a great education system but we have to have first some thing in the ground.
    The school system you create for your kids is just for people to afford not for everyone.

    Agreed, enjoyment plays a BIG part.
    When i was in year 7, i had a great teacher and classroom environment for maths. the atmosphere was so relaxed and engaging. there were even little inside jokes, and people actually even put their hand up and was like 'why cant you do this [insert other way they thought about]?. like they actually thought about what was being taught. i found the class so great that i got mostly grade 7's without even having to revise, and having loads of time at the end to fill my test pages up with cool creative drawings. it was just so amazing
    but then, we changed sets/into levels of classes grouped by maths ability. i got put in the top set. the classroom was dead silent with only the occasional rustling of paper, and the teaching method was horrible [we had to listen to what the teacher was saying, WHILE copying previous notes from the board down!].
    So then i did not care about maths at all. rapidly dropping down a few grades each test and eventually to grade 3, i got moved down to middle set. which was much less intense than top.
    middle sets teacher was actually extremely good, i love that teacher, but it just wasn't the same environment as the first class. i cant remember exactly, but i got grades 5 - 6 i think?
    anyways now ive changed schools for the worst and i just feel really bad about it so my grades are horrible and im in bottom set because im new but idk why im talking about this since its not important
    so yeah enjoyment, thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

      @Icarus47249fd Před 6 měsíci +1

      I agree. I recall teaching my cousin, there was a difference in my style versus the way her mom taught her. I taught her in a laid back manner, almost as sort of a friend, rather than a teacher. I. could tell she was way more relax, I encourage her to not worry about making mistakes, rather focus on enjoying herself. I maintained her attention through joking around & being playful with her, which gradually gained her trust. There was something important about this, the encouragement to make mistake was an absolute must, I was always there to answer any question she had, whereas her mom scolded her whenever she made a mistake. It was to say I personally greatly enjoyed experience, I understand some people have learning anxiety, I'm there to help.
      You could feel there was always a tenseness in the air. I believe this is what education is like: one in an extremely formal manner, while the other in a laid back manner, where learning does not feel like a chore, rather a sip of wine. It's extremely frustrating to watch from my perspective the justification professors and teachers has for their "style of learning" where upon it's nothing sort of lack luster, and ineffective. These teachers are not teachers, they do absolutely nothing, & while at it, they make your life miserable, every once of joy a person had for this particular subject were away. It's almost like a competition to see how dull they can make for an otherwise fascinating subject. I just wanted to tell you I completely understand, not to mention the creativity the education system has sucked away. To be frank, this entire education is flawed to the teeth, it's about time there' s a revamp of this. And many times I could never wrap my head around the fact some people take education super seriously to the point it's mentally damaging their health. I would've done everything such that my students does not have to feel this. This is a difference between a great teacher, versus the average. And you're definitely out of luck of you're a gifted student, or any particular student with a style of learning that's not one the formalize one we see in the education system.

    I did think school was little more than a 13 year prison sentence. I did learn some but, I probably learned about 5 years of knowledge in 13 years. We home schooled our daughters and by 6th grade they were already testing beyond 12 grade.

    • @chrislong1287
      @chrislong1287 Před rokem +6

      @Brian P this is the argument, everyone told me. I really don’t think the classroom environment was the most effective way to interact with others. Most the time conversation and natural play was very limited and controlled. And truly thinking creatively was at best discouraged but, at time’s punished . My daughters had many neighbor friends and cousins to play with and they were both involved in group sports and hobbies. Actually I think kids need more alone time. My daughters are adult now. 28 and 32. And I admit we all gave into the pressure of expensive college route. But my view of college is a little more positive because the student was a little more autonomy. They both earned graduate degrees via academic scholarships (still somehow cost a lot of money) One is a physical therapist and other a psychologist. These degrees certainly helped them in their career but, I do wonder if all the time and money spent was justified? I went to college for 10 years (as an adult) to earn post graduate degrees, which I believe to be much more interesting and valuable. I did very well with university as is common when people who enjoy what they are doing. Due to scholarships I did not pay a lot but, it was still a monetary burden and a huge consumer of time which. I wonder could have been used more wisely? The occupation I chose as a research scientist in biology would have been difficult to impossible without a PHD but, in reality not sure if that barrier is somewhat artificial? Certainly a place for intense classroom training but, if there is no desire and curiosity, pushing through is tough and maybe not very useful? Well any way…. Looks like I did a whole lot of bragging to make my point 🤪! Guilty. Thanks you the thoughtful message

Hopefully, you will find an occupation that you can see yourself doing. Do research on internet first. Before spending money and time on training. Interview someone in such a position. So you can learn for yourself if it is the right field for you. What future expectations are in said field. For instance, will technology phase it out in the future. What is the starting salary and future expected max salary range. Please believe in yourself. Good Luck.

    The education system is imperfect but it’s probably still the most cost effective way to help most people create better lives for themselves. It doesn’t create optimal outcomes for the majority but what’s the alternative? Most people can’t afford to build their own experimental school? As far as tertiary education goes, the major problem is that too many people are studying useless subjects with no purpose or vocation. The standards are not hard enough and the subject matter isn’t focused on the skills and knowledge that employers need and want.

    I have learned if you have a interest in ANYTHING the mind will route your thought to the excitement level. It truly engages something in the heart, that speeds the thought process in the mind. It's actually what makes people not sleep because it's almost impossible to slow that level down once it gets activated. People will actually think someone is crazy or on drugs and they are neither. The desire of a thought, like a "huge LOVE of really anything." There is a will power thats definitely is needed and its started as young as a baby. You have to have knowledge of your thought, but "Life" will give you that experience "if" IF... someone was paying attention to detail ;) that's really important. Actually a detail to attention has to not be just done but doing it on purpose... I BELIEVE will give you a human Activation...

      @@UnlimitlesslyFunnyDude the kids dont have that vision yet. they just want to play and have fun. and thats what life is. on school they get literly brainwashed. so the kids are not in illusion yet but the teacher are wrong. the teacher are also trying to put their illusion of life on the kids, a kid has to believe if and then they think they have to become someone or that its all so serious. well its not. the kids are right, not illusionated yet, they have still the original clear view of life, while the teacher are already brainwashed and dont have the clear view of life. so the teachers are wrong and need to go to school again

    I like school and structure overall, though there were challenging times. The key is to engage and self motivate.

    Standout persons often have similar ideas. As I know, Henry Ford had similar ideas for education and he preferred to teach the boys in his school to implement their knowledges and skills in everyday practice

    After covid, school has become even less impressive and seems like nothing goes on at all anymore especially if kids aren't picking up the fundamentals to do anything. It's great that kids are so sure of pronouns and want to live by them today but this is only one language thing they seem to have learnt along with warmonger mindset so creates a problem in society instead of people of worth. Universities aren't going to argue with paying customers either so the student is in control of their own unlearning!

    How to address "nature deficit disorder," which in my opinion, is a very legitimate growing concern. Kids take to nature automatically, no problem. Usually the problem stems from the adults (job situation etc). Can schools find a way to work this into the learning/life-experience process?. Maybe Kimbal has ideas on that, since he's the green jeans. Maybe they could thinktank that. My idea is to just buy small farms or mountain-lake lodges to operate as "schools." Let them feed the chickens, paddle canoes, etc. along with some kind of academics.

    I studied computing and researched on internet during the 90s and I already saw this pattern. The insane growth of online information and amount college graduates pushed by the government blindly, degree will be worthless. It's simply supply and demand that we all learn in school.
    So my son is very mediocre in academics but I know he has the take risk "go getter" mentality. So I took my gut instinct told him to leave school and learnt a trade skill. After two years of finishing his apprenticeship, he decided to leave the company and only took him a week to find another job because there are hardly any youngsters willing to work in the industry. He is only 19 and earn more than a graduate.
