Student Vs. Teacher (2020)

Your son is a failure He's barely passing my class and with grades like this. I'm just not sure what kind of future he's gonna have What do you have to say for yourself? You're supposed to graduate this year Listen to Mr johnson What kind of future do you think you're gonna have? With all due respect Don't call me a failure Failure is an event, not a person in fact And you talk about the future Mr. Johnson, But you're not preparing us for that Excuse me? Just listen to what I'm saying This should be good Would you agree that In the future Most careers will become automated? Yeah... So? So the people who succeed will have to be Curious Innovative with resilient to adapte to new changes What's your point ? My point is, the focus in this school is not on that it is on that it is on regurgitating information and tests taking And that's just real... but in today's world creativity is the most important leadership skill. Oh, that's how you feel..?? you feel you don't have to believe me but maybe you will believe the 1,500 executives who recently said creativity is the most important leadership skill see pretty soon no one will be hired because of what they know because who cares what you know or if you've memorized the fact we've got Google and Siri for that in the future people will be hired because of what they can do with their knowledge can they creatively solve real-world problems not just follow instructions or directions and Bubble in a multiple-choice questions so mom that's why I'm stressed cuz these robotic tasks we learned in school should stop because no one can do a robot's job better than a robot billionaire founder of Alibaba Jack Ma said that we should not compete with artificial intelligence but instead focus on developing unique human intelligence mr. Johnson drills are for teeth not the human mind so these repetitive knowledge-based tasks we must leave behind or in the future you're gonna find a lot of people graduating out of your class right into the unemployment line see many top companies today don't look at grades Mon that old way is expiring Google has been quoted as saying GPAs are worthless criteria for hiring founder of Tesla Elon Musk agrees so I say this with unease and sorrow if you continue to teach today as you taught yesterday then you rob us students of tomorrow mr. Johnson I'm gonna keep it real with you sometimes sitting in your class is tough I'm constantly thinking that if I don't look up at the clock maybe it'll speed up so I listen to you do my work and pay attention feeling like an hour had to have gone by but it was only three minutes so if you wonder why we're bored in class look you want to get a kid to hate reading give them this a school textbook and some people think it's all falling and that hurts me they say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink and to that I say no firstly you could put salt in that horse's hay and make them thirsty and if you bring joy in your classroom and you can make any bad student, nerdy as he or she discovers the beauty of truly learning mr. Johnson I mean no disrespect you have the most important job on this planet you build create and save lives but if you really care about my future like you say then you have to fully commit and ask yourself honestly how do I prepare a child for future that doesn't yet exist here's a hint the answer is not found in this it's using this and this see in the future we would need more passion and compassion people with inspired hearts and wisdom to uplift this planet and mom I love you but can I be real go ahead you want to know one of the biggest factors for childhood success it's not IQ its family meals and we haven't had one of those in a while see I know sometimes you don't feel proud cuz I may not be a straight-a student but I'm not stupid these tests maybe 70% of my grade but there's zero percent of my future but don't worry I'll pass this class and get through this but I need you to give me the space I need to be me and live true cuz the best feeling in the world is that your own parents get you there's a passage in a book called the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and if you don't mind I'd love to share it with you go ahead so he says your children are not your children they are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself they come through you but not from you and though they are with you they do not belong to you you may give them your love but not your thoughts for they have their own thoughts you may house their bodies but not their souls for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow so mom I'd appreciate it if you give me the love that I need to pursue my dreams see if we are to succeed all three of us need behavior change on all fronts we talk about the future but the future is now and it is created now by all of us I've never heard you speak like that before yeah I didn't know but I'm gonna reach out to administration and try to change some things you have my word

While I agree with a lot of the things he said in this video, I think it's a bit misleading to think that individual teachers are the ones deciding to make students read through textbooks and memorize facts and that that's what's important in education. Many teachers (though certainly not all) would love to focus their classes much more on creativity and critical thinking, but the school has a set curriculum they require teachers to follow. Maybe the teacher can try and adapt the lessons to be more interesting and creative, but that takes a ton of time to do and teachers already don't have enough time in the day and most take work home (not counting that, at least in the US, something like 20% of teachers have a second job at night). But it's not even really the school's fault, I think, that you're having to just read out of textbooks. There are plenty of principals (again, certainly not all) who want to move away from the traditional school curriculum into something more modern and based on current findings in pedagogical research that shows how much more effective learning could be... but what about the standardized tests? The state (assuming you're in the US, but most other countries have standardized tests too) tells the schools that their students need to take these tests and the results don't only affect whether the students pass or get into college; they also, in the case of the US at least, affect school funding. Thanks to No Child Left Behind, if students do poorly on standardized tests, the state can change how much money the school gets and even change over the entire staff of the school. It's supposed to be an incentive for schools and teachers to do their jobs well, but that's based on the false assumption that if someone does well on a test, they've been educated well, and if someone does poorly, they haven't. There are plenty of people who are brilliant and really know a subject well, but if you gave them a standardized test on the subject, they'd do poorly just because they're not good at taking tests. And why should they be? You almost never use that skill in adult life! Standardized tests are good for data collection and nothing else.

But yeah, my point is: a lot of teachers and even school administrators do really want to change the way things are taught, but they're stuck because if they don't "teach to the test" to make sure students know what to expect on it and how to do well on it, their jobs are on the line. So if a teacher has to cut something from a lesson plan because classroom management took up too much time in the period or if the school took away the teacher's planning period by making them sub for another class or any of many many daily things that happen to teachers, they almost always have to cut the more 'fun' stuff, because that's what isn't on the test that much of their job performance is based on.

okay may I point out that he referred to depression as a remote that comes and gos. and loyal fans who are going to defend there prince that, "he was talking to. people who were faking it" even if he was he Never said that so people who have a serious genetic disorder (such as my self) would feel like they were the only ones experiencing it, making them feel worse and only contributing to the problom.
