most schools I've been to just didn't have the teaching tools needed to promote engagement with the students

when schools basically feels like prison where you have no autonomy, no status etc.. and that you are almost always in threat response mode, how exactly are you supposed to learn anything ???

also this talk should have been an hour long, it must have been extremely difficult to follow for anyone not familiar with the subject matter !
