James Corbett here corporate report dot com and once again I just wanted to take a moment before today's eye opener to update you as to the status of the second quarter fundraiser for boiling frogs post dot com which of course is the believe website that brings you the eye opener every week and unfortunately I have to announce that we are at the end of the fundraising2/46
the second quarter fundraising drive and we're just over half way to the goal sixty five hundred dollars raised out of twelve thousand so I I again I don't know what this means for the future of the the website in the content that it will be able to deliver but now we will wait for some bell to make an announcement on that and to see how this3/46
will affect the future of the website but I do want to take a moment to thank all of the people who did contribute to this fundraising drive and remind you that you there is still a day or two left on this fundraising drive for those who do wish to continue to contribute and %HESITATION once again this is alternative media it is not brought to you by4/46
the foundations are the Rockefellers of that Carnegie's or whoever else it's brought to you by you so I do truly appreciate all the people who took time out of their day and money out of their savings to contribute to this fundraising drive and help keep this alternative voice coming few and on that note let's get straight into today's eye opener report one does not have to5/46
scratch the surface of pop culture very deeply to see that schools are nearly universally portrayed in our society as boring stultifying prison like environments where students have to struggle to maintain consciousness does that at this point on the revenue curve you will get exactly the same amount of revenue remember a child worries Hans about his age as we examined last week this state of affairs is6/46
not the result of random happenstance or a failure of the government to throw enough money at the problem but a structural feature of the modern education system that was consciously constructed by the industrial Robert Berenson financial giants of the early twentieth century including the Carnegie's in the Rockefellers and promoted by the politicians under their influence including Woodrow Wilson who years before coming into office as president7/46
of the United States delivered a lecture on the meaning of a liberal education where he stated we want one class of persons to have a liberal education and we want another class of persons I very much larger class of necessity in every society to forego the privileges of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks sadly this agenda to the extent that8/46
it did not already been enacted at the time of Wilson's speech has been fully realized today you give your kid away at his most or is our motion plastic here's to a group of strangers you accept a promise some devastated and more often implied that the state to its agents knows better how to raise your children and educate them clean you your neighbors Stough and that9/46
your kid will be better off show adopted by the time the child returns to the fairway or at the option of doing that very few want to their parents or some form of friendly stranger to unwind on him the key hours of growing up strangers have through the kid now let's look at the strange that which you were one of nine was one regardless of our10/46
good feeling toward should regardless of our individual talents your intelligence we have so little time each day with each of these kids we can't possibly know enough vital information about that particular kid to Taylor I said of exercise like kit host some of those yet old tribe more than others but to simply isn't any time to do it to a significant degree so what we do11/46
is six after of course we don't accept this were fired or harassed we accept the states prescription that's written manuals you do this first in this site and this there and here you have a lot of to to talk to the kid and the way the state track so whether you follow that diet is your standardized test given at intervals if your kids do badly it12/46
does not mean that they're bad readers or anything else it means that they haven't been a breed the end to the drills the state set down there marked for further treatment later on with remark to be excluded from responsible draw the next logical step in this agenda is the implementation of common core a set of educational standards so poor that those tasked with validating those standards13/46
refused to do so so my conclusion is that states need to reconsider their decisions for more than substantive reasons there has been no validation of common core standards by a public process national policy this is right from the stock in in national policy there is increasing attention on twenty first century competencies which encompass a range of non cognitive factors including great and persistence is now part14/46
of common core state standards for mathematics one of the measurements mentioned is behavioral task performance digital measurements MRI facial expression cameras posture analysis seats pressure mouse wireless skin conductance sensors which are lie detectors and if you think I'm kidding right here in this document there are the pictures and all the verbiage around facial expression cameras posture analysis seats pressure malice wireless skin conductance sensors are they15/46
also talk about a thing called fMRI where they actually %HESITATION image a child's brain function as their function as the brain is functioning wallets reading or learning are under stress that's in here too this from whom every child will be monitored in every way conceivable I was like every good news it's my granddaughter and why am I choosing your old she stole the brownie from Daddy16/46
kids running away backstabbing counter that's why I show you where was she is adorable but also because everyone of you has a face that looks just like that in your life everyone of you that's just the tone light of your heart what is the government all the things Allegiant in August of last year the Pennsylvania department of education right in front of the house occasion and17/46
said that the outcome it's an education thing to do the same and they use the word which they said if you buy a hamburger at McDonald's in here in then you go to Philadelphia under the big hamburger some white be the same to reply the rote memorization production of bio since and other devices monitors if you're a prolongation of childhood an arbitrary grouping of individuals by18/46
age the unquestioning obedience to authority that is inherent in the classroom dynamic training for the work force implicit in the segregation of tasks into arbitrary work periods the Pavlovian conditioning of the bell what is the alternative what can be positively proposed as a counterbalance to this palpably destructive form of modern day schooling this is not a rhetorical question it is a very real question that has19/46
real answers in the real world one clue as to an alternative system can be found in the Netherlands where the prestigious university of Groningen celebrating its four hundredth anniversary this year is establishing a new University College groaning and that promises to challenge preconceptions about schooling education and the learning environment one of the professors helping to establish the UCG curriculum is cheered and drink an associate professor20/46
in said three cognition who will be leading a course on the intersection of geopolitics and cognition that will push the boundaries of content and form of education sometime ago I wrote about the piece about how will a Woodrow Wilson's %HESITATION famous quote about we want two classes of people and one with a liberal education one without a literature so I started to research what actually what21/46
if the liberal at and the normal I should moment I send that to %HESITATION civil servant of our university and that civil servants wrecked the paper we discussed it and he decided %HESITATION that I should be a good a member of the liberal arts education that we were just talking groaning so week later I had to jump tell us about the curriculum you're developing what kind22/46
of bachelor's degrees it's a liberal arts and sciences bachelor degree %HESITATION it is %HESITATION international space for all types of %HESITATION students who are pretty good in mathematics and all ater seven or seven out of ten it'll better a I have a very broad interest that that the steam and what we are going to do with the students is basically the first year we come to23/46
make them very brought so that they know all kinds of different types of %HESITATION no matches different perspectives and that they know where all types of information are actually maybe they don't understand everything but at least I know where it is that it's valuable in certain situations and they appreciate information we will %HESITATION that is the grammar faced sharing of knowledge the second year we're going24/46
to go logic face which is about solutions which is about how I look types of knowledge and %HESITATION can be used for particular distribution and then you're working on the consistency of information so how can you build very close if you are particular part of the world %HESITATION scientific problem solving with a societal impact and it is moving to secular so solutions and a third year25/46
is actually solving the problem and selling the problem to the rest of the world and becoming leader or an example and hat so we we do three things I hope we open your horizon %HESITATION we make you a little bit into which color and then we help you to become a leader another professor who attempted to provide a challenging radical anti establishment learning environment of self26/46
directed education was the need on core who in his tenure position at the university of Ottawa experimented with the course on activism in society until railroaded out of the university by threatened bureaucrats and administrators in two thousand eleven he appeared on the quarter report to discuss its experience are so one venue was a course that I developed which is called our physics and the environment and27/46
I was given a free hand in that course it was in the new environmental studies program and so I decided to bring in politicians activists all kinds of societal players that would motivate the learning of the physics and the environmental science and %HESITATION it just grew from there and it allowed me to expand my and experiment with %HESITATION pushing the limits in a way and eventually28/46
led to our in two thousand five when I called %HESITATION academic squatting which was to take over this course completely and allow the students and the professor myself together to define what it was going to be and how it was going to satisfy our needs and exactly how we we wanted to use it in in our education armed and the administration arm slipped out when they29/46
saw that I was doing this that I'd open the class to the community that I allowed everyone to come into the classroom who wanted to so that was there was all kinds from the community we show the large auditorium and we I'm Clyde very novel headed logical methods are paralleled work groups are students were deciding the curriculum as they went arm and there was a lot30/46
of vibrant discussion and it was it was a real arm life changing experience for many students and it are generated so much enthusiasm that the students wanted to have on their own are officially recognized activism course in in the university curriculum so they fought to create an activism course and and the reason they felt they needed to do that was that this academically squatted course was31/46
our own business did quite strongly by the administration I mean the dean of the faculty of science barged into the second quarter the second class of that course and and you know announced that it was over there around if they had to they would replace me and so on and %HESITATION the students that we don't think so and %HESITATION you have to realize that all you32/46
know the great majority of activists on campus and in the in the community were in that room when the dean tried to intervene like that and shut it down so there was a battle and the students won and the course was given are as we have intended there was no one set method for education every child is different each will learn in their own way respond33/46
to challenges and tasks in different manners benefit from different approaches and different levels of outside input and self direction but that is the real task of education not teaching children to memorize names dates and figures out of a textbook and regurgitate them on the test paper but to help them understand who they are as individuals what they can contribute to the world and how they can34/46
connect with those around them there were classrooms around the world where these experiences are a core part of the education environment as well and in very rare instances as in the case of Toshiro Kanamori is fourth grade class in Canada Japan followed throughout the year by NHK's cameras in two thousand three for a remarkable documentary the results are as powerful as they are undeniable Mr categories35/46
klas has a tradition electrolytes about every day in homeroom three students read aloud letters they've written they're called notebook letters have written to the other students and there are true surprising record of what the in your rules really think mmhm retention you termination gratitude whatever is real their children will pick up whatever is late April rinse waiter comes to class for the first time in four36/46

approach to education it is important to note that there are educational alternatives out there alternatives that have nothing to do with larger school budgets re written text books or biometric scanners in the classroom alternatives that are not funded by the bill and Melinda gates foundation or evaluated on the standardized testing regime that rewards rote memorization alternatives that encourage children to become an active part of their45/46
own education and shape their own course toward adult hood but do the American public or indeed the public of the world have the courage to explore these alternatives or will they lay down yet again and given to the institutional inertia of the status quo video was brought to you by the subscribers of boiling frog post dot com for more information on this and other topics please
