I don't like it when you are reading off of something. You must learn how to use your eyes and your voice as one. You have so many important things to say, but it is way over most peoples heads. Watch David Muir and see how he does it. You really have talent.
You have some valid points , however I don't think it meets the agenda of the power elite. Basic education if currently floored. Understanding of economic success is totally over looked which keeps a mind locked in a para-dime of confusion. Stability allows a mind to grow. Our education lets us all down.
You are correct that inequity could occur under certain systems of decentralization. However, this is not so with all systems. The discerning factor is school choice. In a system that supports "enrollment fluidity", an equilibrium is created such that "poor" families may send their children to "good" schools by virtue of state-supported choice.
A salient example of this is how Belgium manages its educational systems. Please watch the 3 min segment in the 40 min video titled "Stupid in America" located between 17:00 and 20:00. This vid is located in my favorites on my page. This is one example of a European country that has a very decentralized (and a very successful) educational structure.
It's difficult to decentralize a limited resource. Part of the reason why there are so many inadequate schools is due to shortages of quality teachers.
Frankly, im an educator, and i find that its oftenthe systems we work under that sometimes dejuices us. It sucks our soul dry. We are not free being who can teach passionately and fully. This affects kids in many ways....mainly boredom.
Teachers start out enthused abouttheir profession...but the centralized beaurocracy fucks us over
Points one and two are excellent, but I disagree with point three. I think public education is a failure, and can never be reformed. I support total privatization, with a tuition voucher being given to the poor only. I am a HS math and physics teacher.
Thank you for your service as a teacher. It is clear that public education in America, and the countries that have modeled their systems after ours, are in dire need of an overhaul. As you can see with many of my other videos, I am far from being an advocate of modern public education. (Additionally, I do believe that Milton Friedman's voucher idea is at least one concept that shows great promise, and should be experimented with by developed countries.) cont. . . .
However, I think you will agree that children of the world stricken with poverty would prefer experience what we regard as "bureaucratic nuisance" (AKA American Public Education), rather than not having any education at all. In short, 9 out of 10 times people prefer crappy education to no education. This is the point I was trying to make at the end. Clearly, there is only so much I can say within 3 min, so thank you for your comment. Physics is cool and speed skating is even cooler.
I like your idea man, but uh... Maybe you should put your next video in more laymens terms? I consider myself a relatively intelligent person, but you almost lost me there a couple of times. I guess it's a choice between utilizing that great vocabulary and seeming more intelligent (and therefore credible) or using more laymens terms and being able to have more people fully understand your message. Anyway, that's my two cents...
I'm a bit lost there too but i think i got the gist of it.
Basically, he wants schools to be somewhat privatised because the schools now are pretty much under the government control, step out of the line and you're fired.
So instead of letting the school teach what they want to 'fit the society's demend', the school have to follow the government's policies of creating more productive people instead of creative people.
This is true. I mean how can one propose that the purpose of education is social equilization when orphanages in the poorest country in the world (Malawi Africa) have schools that don't even have chairs, let alone textbooks.
I'll plan to staple them down next time so they don't pose a distraction for you. Then again, a forehead of staples would probably be a distraction in itself.

I disagree with decentralization. Educational inequity would occur as a result - the rich kids get the good education, the rest do not.
Why don't we follow other global standards of education such as Europe and Asia? Their system is much better than ours and fully centralized.
I agree with the video speaker on cultivating creativity though - that's the key to individual success.

I don't disagree about the problems of a centralized bureaucracy (I'm now in the LAUSD).

I have watched quite a few of these videos already, and this is the first good one I've seen.
It almost seems like you thought about it BEFORE you started filming... two great lessons for us in one video!

So how do you propose we go about doing this?

Ah, yes, the devil is in the details!
Soon, I will make a vid response to this
vid to clarify a few points of detail.
Also, for more of my educational philosophy,
you can check out some of the other vids on
my channel, particularly in my playlist titled
"Educational Productionism".

they just seem to have a life of their own. : )

Ahh! -I can't win!!!
Thanks for the feedback.

moving eyebrows are a sign of charisma and purity of heart.
It means he is comming from a very high place within himself.
