@vortical911 Its the same kind of education that we are also getting in India, more memorization and theory n little practicals. We need much more practicals than theory in the school education. I agree with you.

There is no simple way to generalize education throughout the world. One aspect as he said, that education should serve the purpose of the community (e.g.: to make a living) is completely true. However, the school system that exists 2day tries 2 teach al the BASICS like arithmetic, art etc which lay a foundation n inspire kids 2 develop in somethin they find interest in.Personally, the system called “GURUKULAMS” (in ancient India) is the best system of education.It is simply living the education

From my experience in High School, it was almost an attitude that education and fun are incompatible. I remember my favorite history teacher complaining/apologizing to us that he was almost completely restricted to teaching just the facts required for the SoL (standardized test) and therefore could not make the subject interesting. Basically teaching to the tests. Yet, history as facts serves no purpose. It should be taught like philosophy. Dates and names by themselves are pointless.

@vortical911 yeah! history, math, reading, writing, science are such useless things.

@thejugglenaut91 – Why is this message not vitiating through all of our academic departments? That comment is pure gold and what education should be all about.

How can we possibly try to revolutionize education in the slums when we can’t get it right here at home? Our kids are coming out illiterate and fallacious; not to mention useless in mathematics and the sciences. Here’s how you fix education, teach meditation from day one to calm the students down, teach philosophy and pure logic before mathematics, teach pure discursive and critical thinking throughout the career, only teach pure math when kids understand what the hell is going on.

@DrQuijano
I actually understood your point and agree with it. I just couldn’t keep quiet with the example you gave. To find the square root of a number ie 3.14 requires calculus. Ignore my response it was a little toungue in cheek.

@MarvelsofaLifetime motivation and discipline, 80-90 percent of the education process

@JamesThWilliams Applied to elementary school math it would be more along the lines of instead of teaching “5×5 = 25″ teach “to multiply you need to add the first number to itself x ammount of times, x being the second number”. I teach at the university level and have students who can multiply up to 12 x 12 instantly but have no idea how to go about tackling 13 x 14. Now imagine those people trying to work out dosification in hospitals. It’s not teaching facts, it’s teaching skills.

Fuck school I got all the education I would ever need right here at YouTube. I got the Kahn Academy, science channel, what more would I need?

@99missingperson99 yea i know what ya mean during my Undergrad years I have very few Profs that entertained creative new approaches to deconstructing’ concepts of absolute “knowledge” unfortunately the majority of us have experienced a dogmatic religious approach to knowledge and even worse is the useless experience of high school… even when you find open minded prof they are jaded by yrs of dealing lobotomized youths who crave the broken system model i agree with the home and library card

@DrQuijano
So you are saying we should teach calculus in elementary school?
