TEDxEastsidePrep - Dr. Tae - Can Skateboarding Save Our Schools?
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDxTalks on Jun 7, 2011
Dr. Tae is a skateboarder, videographer, scientist, and teacher. Contrasting his observations of his own learning while skateboarding with the reality that is the current education system, Dr. Tae provides some insight as to how we might better educate in the future.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

@pointlessfailure Unfortunately, I think his point is that the way things are set it up it's not exactly possible to learn your own pace. I think that was the point of the you can never know how long it's going to take any person to learn any trick. I may be just a "skateboarding nerd" myself, but at least I get it.

Dr. Tae have you ever heard of John Taylor Gatto?? You two should really get together on a project of some sort that would be amazing.
