I'm here to tell you about the United States educations the warm wet me a little about my socks so when I first made a great big journey out of the room and out into the big bad world the first which I learned not five year dad they were Harvard and Stanford well my friends and I watches work first is we were clutching hello Kitty lunch boxes
are jumping around ninja turtle Barbara speakers and stuff and I if you start from the age of five I have one goal and one goal only that was college from the Sunday what we are prone to think of one thing and one thing only it seems that college is proper and all college is the my life is going to and if I don't get this one
patient and every single day of the first eighteen years of our lives is that he had sold to call whether provided him through Jewish college is our but why why in college such a strong presence in our society lives puppy until college our batteries were running and revised gets about religion university so he can put his name on our people recipe the meeting at that job
and once we had heard about job for parents to look he's a graph that they've been avoiding since the day before because that job is supposed to set us up for the rest of our lives on average Stanford graduate with a voxel disagree heard a hundred and fifty two thousand dollars and however you seem person graduates with pop who earn seventy thousand dollars annually that's right
eighty thousand dollars gives us a sense of security that we once had a social standing out we think we there's a certain level of respect that uses in your direction when horrible to say photo albums and people keep telling me that I'm over dramatic because I think things like school if you don't like and upon hearing it live without a host of familiar you young kids
can handle anything when I was in school I handle ten times the amount of time I still have a social life and for awhile about missile I let myself believe that I'm stupid I do not agree and I'm weak because I can handle the stress level that he was my freshman year of high school in nineteen on his biology you learn about this mandate starving who
had disappeared is fearless club Darwinism anything from business process called natural selection what natural selection is without organisms last bit to their clients upload podataka surviving inside my what this essentially means is that we're gonna support with features that way from point fifty five are more likely to survive so I was sitting there in my classroom I think about one thing the American Association because it
is about what we do we take these millions of students off all across the country each word with different needs we ship ever built he said he shot back it's white tentacle cost identical curriculums being shut down their throats it's like taking o'brien a panda bear in a way including a lot of the ocean I know that the whales could survive because I was born with
it features that it needs to survive an agreement by but the Pentagon line their contract but we're not gonna do is we're not going to go up to the candidates a graphical it's stupid I was taking its last dying breath Americans look like me because it struck so why are you doing that's where students why are if I did not meet for ten hours of film
preservation why am I being condemned for financial incident W. celebrated why are you getting our students down for being different structured get and why are we forcing his children each morning different abilities and different needs different talents wire forcing them people each other the American education system is structured folding around competition competition between students and competition schools not all the parts get and students are forced
to pay an interest knowledge and wife appear take a test deemed appropriate by the board to assess what they've learned then in the summer there blasted the president's a little by little both they're both offered average or above average so let's take it back to the pit of Eric available like let's save their body organs that flows to install the plug in their average below average
about my age surviving right we already know the well past who was born but the P. enter the life they're opening their downloads as watches and upon seeing those two words below average every single David chief in the last however many years of their lives has been reduced ocean two words below average and they're saying they're they're backing to raise what did I do Bob and
what is so wrong with that is what happens the answer is that there's nothing wrong with they didn't do anything wrong is the school system it's exactly this this deadly parasitic this hunting competition because there is such a toxic environment in American schools you can't turn a corner without the slot two days things like for tripping over some benefit as a twenty fifteen more than two
million teenagers aged twelve to seventeen reported experiencing depression that impacted their daily lives in the same year more than fifty percent of teenagers also reported having ideas so as these statistics both clearly see the school system is killing and this is the problem in America's education system this is precisely why it fucks we spend all eternity focused on two numbers for people that every single bit
of information being thrown into the future what here and out the other we're not learning for the sake of learning we're not learning at all and it's no wonder that the United States is rates below average in English map inside out of all thirty four OECD while it does make the top forty education systems in the world very nice ideas I think we're number one instead
of our base continue to fund it an artist I hate skyrocket and all of his face the question is this the case everywhere if education itself you immensely toxic part of the education system then the answer is no not even close let's take the lead for example their lives ideals different reading those competition between schools in competition ten students is not a matter of concern for
the they honestly could not care less steady strive to help each student throw individual on this issue they didn't they tries foster hope the learning environment for their students there's one set of national exams in their entire educational and that's when they're about to graduate this process eliminates any opportunities that schools teachers or parents may have to compare the students and compared to schools also please
don't even begin school or academics is the image of south and before that academics and college is not for some instead of treating schools like batteries mention for god reduced colleges us robots it is aimed to nurture provide them with the best learning experience because and he couldn't reach the bad Philip is ranked number two globally in education husband I'd rate of seven percent but not
of the entire population including adults with the view that such a problem so clearly there is a right way to educate students in a way that benefits both are in college and they're not all so how do we bring this to America probably fix with strawberry from changing our minds as is the first step we need education group primary focus is getting kids to each their
own rather than a potential peace after we need to take every single student and make sure that they thrive in the apartment it prevents Dr we need to take our editors need to build up a bit Montessori education for example does it simply puts students in an environment that's going to adapt to that rather than the other way around so if America truly does want to
change if America wants gets ready to go up if America what's inside go back to it means a complete change of mindset and it'll save lives in doing so we need to our kids slow to their own potential not potential except for the and that is precisely how we're going to break the magic that is education think
