I can learn more from 20 minutes on YouTube than a day in school O.O

[Jacob Lougee]

I felt like he was going somewhere with the education system but he didn't. It's like he figured out the details of the problem and gave no solution.

Gotta love politics.

[YidHoe]

Jacob the solution is here and is an even better video: watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U

He's right about everything except boys suffering more for dropping out than girls, it has been shown that women who drop out have a higher poverty rate then men, and a lower standard of living/income. This was still a good video though.

Watch the full talk.

would be nice... but by the time utopic schools arrive... the girl will be graduated from school... and have wasted her whole youth...

[TheStormBowler]

Quitting school isn't the answer. The answer is reform the schools to focus more on quality of education instead of quantity of work. College is literally just glorified high school. Example, my cousin took an anatomy class. One assignment was 250 pages of worksheets. You'd think that'd be a nice chunk of your grade, right? No, the whole assignment was only 15 points.

[TheStormBowler]

Wonderful, isn't it?

[Carla March]

quit school

!!!!!!!!! its the future

[adrriii3]

Because you have to find this "solution" !

[Albert Stichka]

The speculation in this talk isn't very scientific
