Buckeye Principal reaction to ''What Is School For''

[Music] what is school for feel free to call me slow but I spent 16 years going to school and I still don't know when I finished I didn't know how to do my own taxes purchase a home or apply for loan I didn't know a thing about investments building credit or getting a job I graduated at the top of my class and what did I have this fancy diploma to sit at home with a mom but luckily they did teach me some important skills like factoring trinomials and how mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell I'm so happy I remember the Pythagorean theorem cuz help me alive okay I'm lying it let me stop because all the stuff they taught me truthfully I forgot mom remember when you would ask me what did you learn in school today and I was saying nothing much I wasn't being modest the truth about it mom is I had already forgotten and it's not just me millions of students sing the same song you guys avoid eye contact with the teacher to try not to get caught up on afraid to raise your hand for fear of being wrong which proves that school is in an environment for learning or booting up the intellect this is a game you play for grades and communities you can collect when I guess what do you expect when the most commonly asked question in classes is this gonna be on the test is this gonna be on the test see if school put learning instead of testing and memorizing as the top standard then the letter F would not stand for failure it was Stanford find another answer and if school was really interested in our personal and academic success students would wake up later have more freedom and homework a lot less and that's not my opinion this conclusion has been scientifically tested and proven and any teacher that doesn't believe me feel free to check my work cited page to inspect oh and I did it in MLA format because I know that's all you will accept see students would get more benefit from an extra hour of sleep than putting them to the torture of an extra s a reading 150 pages doing problems run through 60 on the worksheet and having three projects due by the end of the week not only is a pointless pain but it's also dim-witted cuz we get so much work but they don't teach the time management skills to deal with it see in school we are controlled by bales we have to learn and rules with the Fung Shui of a prison sail we have to ask permission to that relieve bodily functions with it not before the teacher ask a million questions like why didn't you go before class I'm sorry my bladder is kind of on its own schedule and it's not always time to see teachers always say use your time wisely but that never made sense to me cuz these six crew hours of our lives we call school might literally be that the worst use of time management ever in history think about if the traditional teaching method is foolish no it's useless multiplied by the square root is stupid what they do is they cram information in your head force-feeding it and then you throw it up on the test that's not education that's bulimia and the more bulimic you are the better you were doing their assessment so is the wonder why so many students graduate mentally and emotionally anorexic see school teaches you how to memorize that's true education should teach you how to connect them true education teaches you how to catch a fish school teaches you yeah you caught the fish but you didn't show your work so it doesn't count I'm just asking what is school for is not education that's just not true if you still think that you might be sniffing glue see the word education comes from the Latin root adduce meaning bring out ie bring the gifts up of a person and make them viable the school doesn't bring out much it just stuffs more facts inside of you that some of that stuff is justifiable we need reading writing of some arithmetic that's fair but are you telling me metamorphic and igneous rocks are more important than self care if suicide is the third leading cause of death of ages 10 to 24 and Harvard studies suggests the biggest predictor for success is self-control and emotional health then why the heck are we taught how to handle stress bullies or rejection how about anxiety or depression you know skills we need for our entire lives bro I don't even know how to cook I'm honestly surprised them still alive but at least I can name all the battles that happened in the more seriously what is school for some say you need it to be successful and that's something we do not doubt but do you own a MacBook or iPhone did you know they both were created by dropout are you watching this video on Facebook or YouTube doesn't matter which you choose they both were created by dropouts ever use snapchat whatsapp shopped at Whole Foods will make a drop out is your home furniture come from Ikea okay don't get the wrong idea he was not a dropout don't be a fool I mean how could he drop out name for camporee founder of IKEA never even looked school he's just picking and choosing as millions didn't go to school that aren't successful Morsy food but open your history books and start perusing you'll find the very people we idolized in school never really had formal and or secondary schooling I'm talking George Washington Abe Lincoln America's best presidents had zero school between them Ben Franklin Thomas Edison shall I proceed Ernest Hemingway Mark Twain Teddy Roosevelt Margaret Mead now please I'm not sayin drop out cuz some schools are great and many teachers are rare treasures I'm saying that there's a difference between people who are smart and people who score better I'm saying that your future it is something that no tests will ever measure even if that test begins in three letters like SAT AC T is BS if they say those determine your li fe know your destiny is in your hands you must shape it to be great so don't expect school to open doors cuz it's more likely to slam them in your face sometimes I wonder about all the dreams lost in school and how much potential goes to waste if it wasn't for music and new tools and I would have been just another lost case everybody watching this please close your eyes imagine a child sitting in the back of some teachers class and some town raises his hand he fails most of his classes but inside of him there was a passion and if nurtured and brought I will lead him to discover the cure for cancer but you see I'm afraid that that sounds gift will never come out he will never win the Nobel Prize of War because in class he was ignored and his worth was judged only by the scores some teachers principals parents advisors and students I'd ask one more time what is school first of all it is training its training and sometimes students ask you guys all students do you know what you want to be when you get over and usually that answer is this I think I want to do this or no I'm not really sure and so school really to me is we're training the brain to think in different avenues so that one day when we might know we might want to do in life we then are a little bit smarter we have the ability and the training to our brain understand certain things so that now when I'm getting the on-the-job training or going to college to get the train for whatever profession or if I'm in some type of trade school whatever it might be that I'm able to like when they talk about in this video bringing things together you're able to bring things together and in an example me being a previous math teacher if nobody ever taught you what an addition sign was you might think that was a tea and you wouldn't be able to put the two together one day and go this doesn't make since and therefore you might never become an accountant or you might never be in finance you may never work in numbers so if we go through school and not see the state sense of our nation of here's the basics that we need every student to have so that when they leave 12th grade when they leave their senior year here's the basic understanding that every single kid will have and then from there they're gonna go and they're gonna take what their knowledge is already and expand upon it and what they might want to do with does that make sense yeah by some great questions in here that I think were brought up and truly there are things in here you know sometimes I think we go all right we have to remember all these things but do we that's that's a very valid question I saw a commercial a few weeks ago that we sent the first man to the moon on computers that were not as smart is a basic cell phone and when you think about that a cell phone had more technology than what the computers had when we sent the first man tonight pretty amazing but I don't think we could have ever created this without students or people having the basic understanding though here's how to think and here's how to train the brain and to go from that
