Honoring Educators in Math and Science

[Billybob9601]

21st in science and 25th in math!? Stop investing money on condoms and more for new technologies and textbooks for teaching in highschool

[ttiiyy]

Our country is in trouble because many stupid college professors do not care about the math and science education. These social science and liberal art retards claim that math and science is about "memorizing" facts. These morons do not understand that if you want o even pass a math or science exam, you'll need to be able to understand and apply the concepts.

Social science and liberal art are the subject matters that do not require much thinking. It's all about restating the same facts.

@TrollBuster9090

If keyensian mulitplier is so great why centrally planned economies are/were so miserable. They use it across the board. About "actual data" what they include in gdp growth is not necessary growth. They add to it money spend on digging ditches, bridges to nowhere and research of drinking habits of chinese prostitues. Very often not really things that improve people lives or fulfill needs. It hould rather be called fractionator. Besides economy cannot be closed only in numbers.

[IrishAfricanDude]

education is always AWALYS NUMBER 1, education = key to life

[braydenbeautiful]

Not to be too offensive, but I honestly doubt that anyone in that room, aside from Steven Chu (of course), could even solve a simple logarithmic equation.

Parading around elementary school teachers is nice, but what's really needed is Jr. and High school math and science teachers who really know their "stuff."

[dekulewan]

@braydenbeautiful

You do realize Obama went to HARVARD. To get into Harvard you need to get good scores on the SAT (which includes math) and get a high grade point average (which also includes math).

And if you think your so high and mighty , find me the inverse of F(x)=x/x-2.

I bet you'll go on google for that.

I expirimented with drugs & other girls in college, but im ont a lesbian or a drug addict LMFAO

[dalecleaton]

Does anybody consider that education is not some partisan vocation aimed at zombiefying the proletariat?

There are major issues with educations systems that are undeniable, but without education you have no means to contribute or be successful.

Education, even an imperfect education is the key to successful prosperous society, and equal access to education is the hallmark of a free society.

All the nonsensical partisan rants here are proof that better education is needed.

[interestingramble]

education is only important if you want to fit into your society. Luckily, many are unable to pay, but they have access to the internet at least and the few who have can pay laugh at them if they make a mistake. I'll torch my English book, songs, poems and anything that helps me gain psychological balance and be moved by another. You have to mark and move us early. Some aren't meant to succeed. Fate. Tracking is essential. We aren't farmers in the barn anymore.

[scir91]

you can thank METAL GEAR SOLID for making DARPA a known acronym.

[scir91]

these politically correct speeches are written for those who are willing to buy it without thinking (i.e. those who sit in school and memorize useless facts)

[beenn15]

@scir91 thanks to those useless facts, you're able to watch a clip and comment at the leisure of your home.

While your comment may be useless, the technology that allows me to see it is the result of science education.

[AnduinX]

What our public education focuses on is memorization of useless trivia. Most people retain on a small fraction of the information they learned through high school. Students literally memorize information, belch it out on tests, and promptly forget it.

This is not education. This is how the state turns kids into working drones. Through mindless repetitive tasks.

What students need most in this world is critical thinking skills, the ability to reason, and direct life experience.

[AnduinX]

Students don't come out of our public school system 'smarter'. More often then not they come out of our public school system 'dumber'.

After years of mindless repetitive memorization they come out with a crippled ability to deduce information and critically think.

This is may be good for corporation and government, but NOT for you.

[DojoNDude]

@ AnduinX

That is the biggest crock of $h@t I've ever heard.

[memama2]

@AnduinX = the entire country NEEDS "School Vouchers".......which would knock down these GLUTTENOUS UNIONS and allow Parents to choose Schools and Teachers that TEACH!..........the students would gain life skillls and the Parents would be assued as to WHAT is being "forced into their minds"...........(like Obama with his MAO commie commrade xmas = "ornament" on the White House 1st crackpot Christmas- under The Obamas! Next year? =a hitler hemlock and followed by the ever popular Stalin Spruce?)

[SuperPiye]

BRAND NEW!!! SWINE FLU!!! Prevention song on youtube, go to maleak ali good hygiene on youtube, and please help spread the message.....

[Tonyo1221]

She makes me sick . . .

Performing like a theatrical school girl rather than just make the damn speech!

[caihtatsu]

Don't believe it. RTTT could extend the school day/year & not compensate teachers nor hire more staff. The state could take over the schools, fire half of the teachers and replace them with clueless newbies. Its already happening. Teachers could be black listed. Who would teach the special ed or needy students if it could endanger their career? Stop blaming teachers, put the responsibility back on the students and parents, where it belongs. It is about time society owns up to this.

[sigmundphreud]

Teachers Unions are the ones screwing up the Education Process in America!

Das is Amerika!

[memama2]

@sigmundphreud = did you see these drones ~slappin their hands together~~ like Seals At SeaWorld!.......... they have about Bankrupted most of the STATES and devour all the extra money and get Huge Pensions! and Cadillac Health Plans FOR LIFE!...... and that is why they are all so ~wildly~ enthusiastic HERE!........ they get 3 months off in the summer and a big fat pension and Governement Goodies and that is why they helped Obama with his SCAM-pain!........Obama wants UNIONS everywhere 4 HIM

[SuperPiye]

BRAND NEW!!! SWINE FLU!!! Prevention song on youtube, go to maleak ali good hygiene. And help show support ......

[memama2]

...hey all these teachers and others!!!..........go listen to YouTube video:.....Lee Doren Lecture at Obelin College on Avoiding Leftist Indoctrination (December 1 2009)

[tiftmasta]

I actually watched it. His arguments in the beginning make a lot of sense but I started disagreeing as the video went on. I watched a few of his other videos. I do like how he presents sane arguments which are not generally seen in most conservative arguments.

[sigmundphreud]

Trollbuster9090

I am willing to discuss this further, however, you have a friend block......

[NookulerFreedom]

Isn't this funny?

Now, Michael Chertoff: aka THE FUCKING NAZI

Had better back off or you are going to see a nightmare you never dreamed of.

[bunga40]

Very looking forward to hear the education proposals from our White House. We should always be ready to help our schools!

[NookulerFreedom]

Prez:

I'm going to reveal who many things you have stolen from me one day.

Now send me a fucking paycheck.

[MrLetfreedomring]

These must be the same educators that are teaching our Children about the Global Warming myth and how Science hides data....and are giving half the counrty off tommorrow for a Snow Day.....

[SuperboyXX0018]

Barack Obama is the death!

Holocaust of America starts this year.

[sigmundphreud]

I'll wager that Joe Biden has a recording of this for later, still plagiarizing after all these years!

[sigmundphreud]

Liberal Indoctrination of our youth has tainted education in America.

Mathematics/Economics should be intertwined. We would not have B.H. Obama ruining our great nation with his

Socialist Economic Agenda!

[TrollBuster9090]

I don't think we'd agree on much, but I'm with you on that.

If Mathematics and Economics were combined, and Economics was a compulsory subject in school, everybody would have known that the Laffer Curve, Supply Side Economics, and the entire Austrian School of Economics are bullshit, and never elected Ronald Reagan or any of his evil minions.

[madcowhunter]

@TrollBuster9090 Supply Siders are not a part of Austrian School of Economics. They are a part of Neoclassical school. yeah if people were indoctrinated by Keyensian bullshit about spending multipliers(which were refuted number of times by Hazlitt and others) and how inflation is great world would be a nicer place.

[TrollBuster9090]

@madcowhunter

If by "refuted" you mean argued against using faerie tale analogies like the Broken Window Fallacy, rather than using actual data, then yes, Hazlitt completely refuted all aspects of Keynesian Economics.

[memama2]

@sigmundphreud = thanks ~sig ~ for being a "critical thinker" in a sea of ~~~zzzz drones!....... I think we should get RID of all these Unions and give each family a "voucher" and SHOP until they find the = teachers of their choice!........ and then the world will see that FREEDOM loving Americans can once again lead the world in "how to get er done"........ parents need more choices and some of these teachers and their liberal dogma = gotta GO! along with BAAMA!.......bye bye McREAL soon

[stephenetienne]

OBAMA, SHUT UP, AND SHOW US THE MONEY!!

[jacquette26]

@stephenetienne

or how about you getting a job...

[ThanksSaintJoseph]

Why only math & science? The USSA school sytem can no longer teach virtue, history, philosophy, etc.. Because our public education system is a state sponsored one & as our government becomes more communist & more vile the less it wants children to think.Duncan supports the teaching of vile things to children, & he's incharge of children's education in the US. We're paying for this garbage.If Barry Sotero thinks education is so important why won't he show his college records?

[radiocontrol666]

Ray's porno?

[radiocontrol666]

I would in deed involve my self with that woman.

Atc. lol

[platinum01]

@erjoelgo yea man i'm sure he's tired of it. Also, he prob can't give a bad speech or an unenthusiastic speech or ppl will get upset.

[DojoNDude]

Political Theater.

[dragonzord23]

why just math why not history

spiecal needs pe germen

[eaziepeazie]

cause history is for pussy fucks

[Char99]

Fuck you. History is important.

[memama2]

..here we have EGO & UNIONS ~ on parade!... and then Obama says the = Obama Doctrine 101!!....he demands THEY owe = him!!!...... he says "these papers ain't free"......so my kids have a math test and yer gonnna PAY ta get this "paper"............THATS IT!....Chicago Style Grifting ON PARADE!......... thats why those teachers Union members are clappin like seals At Sea World!.......they want to be inside their UNION Bubble and Obama = owes THEM! But to get a "Major Award" = HE OWNS THEM

[chk2595]

It is rewarding that thePresident recognizes the members of the teaching profession - especially math teachers. He should find one mathematician who can give him the right numbers and a social personj who can help him tell the truth and identify the way out people he hires in education who do not pass senate muster.

[erjoalgo]

lol he looks so bored of doing speeches

[groundhog2008]

This is the first time I have heard President Obama even mention about his Nobel Peace prize!! Our President is so humble!! Everyone I know, absolutely loves this wonderful President so very much!!!!

[zakard114]

Agree, as one of scientists & engineers in U.S.

[groundhog2008]

Why not pass a bill that will give free college educations to qualified poor young people!!!! There are thousands of poor Blacks in American who are denied a college education!!! I do wonder if our President Obama knows that America loves him dearly!!!!

[BorderInspector]

There are Pell Grants and scholarships.

[pongman]

Khanacademy on You Tube needs a Congressonal Medal of Freedom for the Math and Science free lessons he gives to the world. Sal deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Thankfully NPR and the United Nations have given him the thanks and gratitude for actually teaching kids Math and Science when the public school system fails. There are literally thousands of teachers who send their students to Khanacademy on You Tube. Go Sal Go!

[lildwayne21]

Way to go Barack

[MasrawyPasha]

shes a bit too animated..

[ItsTimeForCake]

If these people likening Obama to Hitler is any example, we desperately need better education in this country.

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

Why is everything so phucking White! Obama spends 90% of his presidency talking to White people DUH! Where is the change he talked about? I was hoping he would reach out a lot more to minorities and give them opportunities, But everytime I come to this bloomin site its solely White audiences! White business, White administrators, White government employeees, White military, White policiticians etc where is the Black, Yellow and Brown for Gods sake! Govern over ALL the peoples not just WHITE!

[zippots45]

It would be well worth your time to read the article "Black Education" by Walter E. Williams. Google black education by walter and have a good read.

[maskedphrogg]

And you complain about racism.

I'm drowning in the irony.

[RebelRouserMC]

fraud,scam,communist.

[ItsTimeForCake]

save your nonsensical overexaggerated conspiracy theories for somewhere else.

[lildwayne21]

Here we go again..........yawn

[JustinTP94]

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! Oh and im 15 LOL 25%? wow.. no wonder why i suck LOL

[JustinTP94]

LOL.. I am definently not getting a good mathematical education..

[lildwayne21]

Mr. Duncan is obviously not a very camera friendly person.

[HymnTimeGospelSongs]

I am amazed how few people watch this show.

[RobtKraft]

Harry, my teleprompters have a gift.

[DrJobinsp]

everyone should be a teacher for everyone around them. :)

[Clairifus]

This may be ignorant of me... but I thought the president and VP weren't to be in the same building at any given time...

[newportlights]

@Clairifus I wouldn't want to call you ignorant, but I think you're confusing the rules regarding the branches of power coming together, with the VP & Pres. When the three branches meet, at least one of the House members must be distanced from the event. This is done to ensure that an entire government can never be lost. An example is the State of the Union address, every member of Supreme Court, Executive, & Congress will be there except one.

[blaze3029483]

We all have Mao Ornaments...all the shyt is made in China so you pagans(Read about the real history of Christmas) can celebrate Spend-mas Day! Boy we need more education...Especially for some of our nut-bag Tea Bagger folks that bash President for Honoring Teachers and Mentors.

Good job President Obama Educators deserve honor. Let's hope the next generation is not as stupid and intolerant as past generations.

[memama2]

....here is ANOTHER UNION......that Obama has to "focus"ON!......... he won't be at The National Day of PRAYER!......or be going to any "local church".......BUT he will be picking out some crackpot commie to decorate the 1st White House Commie MAO ornamented Xmas TREE! = thats right teachers! This man has a MAO ornament on his TREE in The Peoples White House and one with HIS FACE On Mt. Rushmore?=(yep) BUT the main thing to remember is Obama will keep UNIONS IN (no matter how crappy you teach)

[Char99]

The "National Day of Prayer" isn't even a federal holiday. It's just stupid thing made up and lobbied by the religious right.

[memama2]

@Char99 = says "National Day of Prayer = it's a stupid thing"............there you have a godless clueless drone of the new age who voted for owebaama ~ (bet they would have wanted someone who attended the National Day Of Prayer? = to PRAY FOR "Char" as the passengers were strugglin with that Detroit Unabomber!

[memama2]

OUT OF OVER "40" = comments (the counts on YouTube videos are never correct) the Obama drones left "22".....lol!....thats gotta be some kind of RECORD and really does show that the ~wheels~ are coming off of the BAND WAGON!......lol!....and he has to say something THIN-SKINNED about his "Major Award" for = nothing! And gives the guy a ~rub~ for his actually EARNING his award for "teaching"..........(of course its probably commie 101 to get a SHOUT OUT notice like that!) ObamaGrifters On Parade!)

[TQVision]

I think if we connected math and science with music and drama we could engage most of America. Just a tea-spoon in the beginning of the video or somehow using entertainment as the metaphor in the speeches you can touch the youth and have more of youth voices in your comments. Thank You for reading.

[asdfghjkl418]

Obama is the best!!!!!! :)

[sarahakaaj]

Is uhh all he can say.

[Cerdamaster]

Go Obama!

[ainemacdermot]

Education without available jobs to go with that education will not lead to innovation or technological advancement. There are plenty of BS, MS, PhD unemployed people looking for work. Educational REFORM can, however, lead to teacher retention, provided that actively working teachers are a part of the planning and implementation processes, and they have a voice in those reforms.

[jim30333]

Bye bye democratic majority. You gay fish should go run the Congo. Thanks for bailing out the criminals.

[MoPapparani]

even so...not as bad as the Republicans you're siding with...they're STILL worse!

[jim30333]

Democrats can shove their waterbottles up their ass. This species is more fucked up than any alien species out there.

[MoPapparani]

waterbottles? what are you referring to? recycling, which actually WORKS? drinking water, which is actually healthy and beneficial for you?

I don't get the waterbottle comment, and are you calling Democrats a species or are you referring to human beings in general?

...and the fact that you believe in an alien race tells me more than I wanted to know lol

[jim30333]

That's their little subtle meme to shut up dissenters. They drink water or show a water bottle. Obama lacked the imagination to let the country fall apart after the republicans trashed it.

[MoPapparani]

I have never heard of that bit, sounds stupid if it's real lol...then again, maybe they just drink a lot of water and it's nothing more.

This is all the Republicans doing (getting in the way and doing everything in their power to prevent the change we all wanted, not to mention the damage they continue to do).He didn't do anything after the Republicans trashed it, which is one of the problems.

[jim30333]

I'm leaving this hellhole regardless. It would be nice to see you Wilson and Treaty of Versailles deniers finally fall apart.

[lialammas]

I know that any person that believes and thinks that children education has to come first is a person with a vision.

For all the critics of Mr. Obama , remember that he is not the first one to try and at least he is not giving up in your kids. He will pursue and he will win ... you know why??

Because is not about Him is about your children and this country children. I do believe in the future of this kids.

[whitestar111]

@lialammas yes he ain't giving up using your children to push his agendas plz wake up man look up a man name alex jones

[fornss]

Alex Jones is the biggest fucking conspiracy gobbling anti-American fag on earth..

[memama2]

everyone who is not a Obama ~~~zzz drone luvs the Alex Jones SHOW.........and Mark Levine and then watch = YouTube video:...........Glenn Beck Show - January 4 2010 Part 7 of 8 ..............(shows the MAO ornament on the 1st annual commie commrade xmas obama tree!....next year a hitler hemlock and followed by the EVER popular Stalin Spruce!)

[whitestar111]

@fornss and why is that their is not 1 thing he says thats anti american it is all pro american if u believe obama go ahead and lose all of your constitutional rights thats what the nwo will do to us

[VPofMySpace]

One day maybe i could teach Maths in America

[shay18]

I actually like what he is saying here... all the plans... I just HOPE he keeps this... especially when he said the new ways to help new teachers and the websites and finding new ways to get students interested. For once I agree

[AnthonyNews]

president obama the best ever*******

[reevaluate2008]

lol

[memama2]

...I am "dying" LOL!....he said "these awards are NOT FREE"......... and then he says THEY have to do "tutoring".for HIS KIDS!!.......THERE IT IS!........the Obama doctrine right there! ..THEY OWE HIM! ......... THEY OWE HIM !!!! ....for them getting to be there and get that paper = THEY OWE HIM!!!.....He does not "work for us" !!......HE WANTS TO CONTROL THIS COUNTRY....and even tells these citizens that its PAYBACK TIME!........i cannot believe he said that = this is an acorn con man

[ektrules]

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say. But he is president and it is his job to control some things. If you're talking about all out 1984 control, you greatly underestimate strength in numbers. All the elites can do is try to persuade people to do what they want. This society is very fragile, and I'm kinda surprised it hasn't fallen apart already. And there is nothing on this video to get upset about. Unless you think Americans are too good at math and science :)

[DojoNDude]

Thank you for that wise comment. :)

[whitestar111]

@memama2 man as it see's ur awake to his scams man their is no use fighting with any 1 who isn't and don't want to wake up

[memama2]

@whitestar111 = affirmative!......... its just so sad to think that this guy used all these IDIOTS in his giant SCAM-pain and the entire thing was all = Lying-By-Ommission! .......which he continues and they do not get how much evil and destruction is coming their way until = Obama starts taking their parents and grandparents and famiies ESTATES to fund the Obama ~drain-hole! And then they will witness "Generational Theft" on a grand scale and then an AHA! MOMENT! (to late)

[Voltegasproductions]

Knowledge is how america can get ahead of every other country, unfortunately, that probably never will happen and the goverment would go about it the wrong way.

Japan may be more advanced, but the children there have ABSOLUTELY NO LIVES WHATSOEVER. How do we win??

for one, lets go back to the moon and beyond, not step on it and give up.

[Mrbluestarfilm]

I was never very good at either science or math... good job for these kids. Waaaayyy smarter than me. And how cool to be able to visit the White House and meet the President! I gave 6 months of my life so he could be Pres. and I'm still waiting for my invitation... hahahaha. Seriously, where's the invite B.O.?!

[memama2]

@Mrbluestarfilm = another obama drone GRIFTER wanting a ~back-rub and admiting he - worked for this ACORN lawyer ="6 MONTHS OF MY LIFE" (sadly)."so he could be Pres".... go hide please.... everybody hates you!

[Mrbluestarfilm]

@memama2 No, it's okay. It was kind of cool. We were Paraplegics for Obama. Me and a few buddies from Afghanistan got together and rolled our way into people's neighborhoods to talk and everyone was really nice. It was the best summer I had since returning home in 2006. But I'm sure you don't care about real Americans fighting for you and your family. So thanks for that. I was just trying to comment on how smart and lucky those kids are. I really pity you.

[memama2]

@Mrbluestarfilm = dear me YOU are "prejudiced" and do not know HOW MANY Vets I know and mailed packages to in the "WAR"!....... and I appreciate Your great sacrifice and any one elses who served and have dozens of family who served in EVERY branch of the armed forces! STILL = it does not make you or Obama RIGHT in the way you "think" or the ruin that is being forced onto this country from this egoic shape-shifter who is "bringing Terrorists HERE" & making our own country ENDANGERED ONCE AGAIN

[memama2]

@Mrbluestarfilm = i pity OUR COUNTRY under this commie crackpots watch (and these kids? now OWE over $360,000+ dollars A-PIECE from the run away spending Obama is continually producing day after day and they will be burdened with that TAX PROBLEM and even worse their HEALTH Care will be turned into Crap Care as they experience the "rationing" that will result in this MESS of Obamas and the Dunce Dim doings! = bought off and hiding behind closed doors with Magic math that does not ADD UP)~sigh

[2xtream]

Our learning ability will advance passed our need to know?? What kind of bull shit brainwashing is this shit? Obama what a lying con man....

But to get back to the lame brainwashing... Translation= You will only learn what we teach you no matter now advanced you are... All Americans must be the same!! It's the Marxist way!!

BTW Obama your children are not in the same boat as the rest?? Why do they get the best of the best?? Are not there reg teachers doing ok?? Maybe there just slow?

[memama2]

@2xtream = your post here is THE BEST one this week on YouTube! ~ lol! ...this teacher says= ...."we are experiencing a paraDIME "shift" ....lol! & if how we are teaching it is "engaging".......... you gotta be kiddin ME! This is the kinda DOG & PONY show that these teachers Unions Produce Now~!.... I had old school teachers that told everyone to SIT DOWN SHUT UP OPEN THE BOOK AND READ! = "test in 30 mins"...this is the the ONLY hope for Obama to get HELP with his Liberal Math = ATTEMPTS

[whitestar111]

@2xtream lol right on man wake up ppl obama is a con artist so is most of the government

[BabybooR33]

*RED ALERT* brainwashing 101 ....

[Voltegasproductions]

math and science: the two failures of our youth atm. in my school, most people are getting awful grades in science ( the people arent stupid either) maybe its just the teacher though

[Henroidt]

Well, teachers are focused on teaching how to pass the tests for No Child Left Behind, rather than imparting actual knowledge. Yay for bad policy!

[rednecktrucker1969]

Well if they want to teach creationism as a science, then there is no hope for anyone.

[Voltegasproductions]

I think its about 66% of americans dont believe in evolution or something? its ridiculously high

[ytblvd]

First?
