- Countless students across the country are placed at a disadvantage and receive lower quality educations due to circumstances beyond their control. Our education system is an unequal one, and it is our job to create the change necessary that ensures the equal opportunity and success of our youth and the future of our society. Paul “Jake” Watson is a student in his third year here at the University of Central Oklahoma. He is a fall 2019 initiate of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, and currently has the privilege of serving as the President of the organization. Outside of UCO, Jake is a strength coach and a nationally ranked powerlifting competitor, with two American national records in his respective division. In his life, as both as a student and as a man, he continually strives to find ways to create a lasting, impactful change in the community in which he lives, and in the lives of the individuals that surround him. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Education and crime! There is a correlation
New Jersey had the worse crime rate back in the early 2000s
Crime is now one of the lowest as their public schools became one of the best..
New Jersey used to be the heel, now it is reaching past the top by rethinking and reimaging everything "government related" to find a better way of doing. Other states should look at what New Jersey has done with so many of their government services but oh "socialism" stops them in their tracks because they never got the education to understand socialism including how various countries misused the "socialist" label to hide their true intent.
Whilst working on the Education scene, I have learned that teachers don't have enough time to tend to individual students, yet the class number's rise. I have learned that so many students want a more personalised experience because they want to feel prepared for their next steps but are struggling to find 1 on 1 time with teachers. The number 1 reason for teachers leaving the profession back then was burnout and unfortunately they are now facing a higher workload and for less pay. It doesn't exactly scream financial mismanagement but it is quite obvious that schools can't provide higher quantity or higher quality teachers without more funding. I've agreed with the point this young man has made for quite some time now and although I am doing my personal best to aid positive change, it does feel like a system that works against you.
Those students can find tutors. It's not a teacher's job to be a concierge service
Excellent presentation. Completely accurate situational assessment of our Educational system. You are also correct to note the generational, and historical, practice of underfunding methodologies.
There isn't any under funding
The taxes should be pooled across the state and then divided by student head.
No way.
Local control is necessary. Good parents want to fund their kid's better than bad parents
Excellent speech with many valid points. Keep speaking your truth!!
yassss! Thank You for spreading knowledge to your community!
Nice sharing 🤩
Thanks 😊 🙏
Excellent presentation ❤
Thank you!Education must to bear down upon for students in to future,...😍🌏
Your speech is really amazing
Funny you say that, about US university statistics, because a degree in the UK now carries less weight that it did before, because so many people now go to university and gain an undergraduate degree. A masters degree now has the same weight as an undergraduate did all those years ago. Moreover, students are now actively choosing not to go to university in the UK because why put yourself into so much debt when you can get a job and, hopefully, gain professional level qualifications through your job which will increase your pay. So many companies are offering apprenticeships, even for roles that were more university based
The entire UK carries less weight than it did before.
The UK is a 3rd world country, plus London's city center. That's it. The entire nation has no innovation now
Only the top 10-15% of students Need to be in college. The rest are joking
Good talk
Yep.
Redlining is not a thing from the past.And poverty is still the main factor in increasing probability of delinquency.
Meritocracy is, more or less, a myth.
The only way to fix education is competition.
We don't get enough food or toilet paper so we can't blow our nose and we got to eat what we pick
Everyone in Oklahoma move to New Jersey
Focus on education systems make rules for each student should have clear vision what they want to do in life we are not setisfy 🙄 for our delhi education system government make own decisions by asking parents or student
If I am in school I totaly confuse what is happening I want participat in sport but I didn't join there is sport playing difficult. I can't believe school system they always provide wrong information teacher's are older they miss behave to the student. 🙏
More money thrown at schools each passing years whilst test scores plummet. More money is NOT the answer.
I dissagree!
And I believe you're missing the point..
More money means more opportunities for the kids..
New Jersey in the early 2000s had the worse crime rate - as more money is put into the public schools the crime rate plummets - they're now the best public schools in the country..
There is a correlation
@@MrHammer2088the problem is that the more money the government spends very little goes to teachers and investment into schools
A lot of bureaucracy in any large organization
Same with police, we spend more every year yet crime increases
Money is only part of the solution,
This young gentleman might want to read John Taylor Gays books. He doesn’t seem to know that school bureaucracies have grown significantly.
Don’t the schools have a responsibility to be resourceful with the funding they receive??
United States spends as much money per student ad any country in the world yet is still ranked somewhere between 30 and 45 indicating the resourcefulness and the curriculum are the problem not the funding.
In the 1960's "Separate but Equal" was overturned by the Supreme Court which led to integration of the public school systems. Around the 1990's a new ploy developed where you could choose to send your child to a better "public" school and redirect the proportion of your child's funding to that "better school" leaving the regular public school in worse shape and less able to provide a quality education to the remaining students... a new version of "Separate but Equal".
@@chriscohlmeyer4735 I certainly don’t know all the details of this particular subject “separate, but equal”. I have seen a few documentaries regarding disadvantaged schools and school districts that are favorable to your point. Yet in each of those documentaries there were institutional quagmire’s created by the school, the school board, human greed, teachers union, state, or federal regulations that delayed or inhibited the schools from making the best decisions. Ultimately, they are a victim of their own policies and administration.
However, it doesn’t change my broader point.
Thank you for commenting. Be well.
@@chriscohlmeyer4735 "Which led to integration" - no, it didn't.
We are more segregated today ,than before Brown v Board. And, it's by choice
@@seventhcompactor1505 as I mentioned it has been significantly undone by allowing "magnet schools" to drag funds away from the local public schools thus creating segregation by income. There will always be people trying to screw over the structure of the US public school system.
They’re not underfunded. The money should follow the kids, school choice, and charters instead of throwing more and more money at a subpar institution.
Jake Paul came a long way ngl
I don't think underfunding is the problem. I think it's rather having both parents working long hours away from home and children growing without the base of a family.
Parents are too tired when they get home and teachers are not members of the children community.
Completely missed the point
@@Swanbelief. no, you missed the point.
The taxpayer pays enough
Local public schools were created to serve the children of like minded parents in their communities. Local schools were funded and run for the children by their parents. In NJ, it became clear that some parents weren’t doing right by their children or their communities so parents who were doing right were charged double to pay for the kids whose parents didn’t. Income from the families in successful communities was “redistributed” to families in unsuccessful communities because, we were told, these kids were failing because they didn’t have enough money. Once “parity” was reached and they were still failing miserably, we were told it was because they needed MORE money then the children in successful school districts because their parents were not only failing to work and provide school funding for them but they also didn’t provide basic necessities like breakfast and that they didn’t read to them or help them with homework so we would have to have more income redistributed away from our children to these children to provide them with even more of what their own parents failed to provide them with. What they DID always manage to provide them with was siblings though, tons of them, early and often. In the suburbs you saw families with two kids, maybe three but in the failing cities, single women with five or six kids and no fathers in sight was the norm. These burdensome people were never asked to take personal responsibility for their actions or to pay back the families they took from. Their kids are still failing miserably and no amount of other people’s money seems to change that. Maybe their culture of not being embarrassed to take welfare, lack of fathers’ financial participation, teens having babies, people having children out of wedlock, doing drugs, engaging in criminal activity, dropping out of school and having more children then you can afford to pay for is not a good culture to follow. If you want what we have, do what we do. There will never be equity between givers and takers.
When something bothersome saps your energy, ask yourself one question: Will this matter in a year? If not, is it really worth the robbery of your time today?
Let go of the ten thousand things that do not matter. Because you do.
🔥❤️❤️❤️ thank you
Hello l âm Turkish airlines good flaying
Wao wao😶🙄🙃
Schools are over-funded.
Their cost model grew out of control. Cut 50% of admin. Cut special needs. Cut cut cut
🤦
A very impotent presentation .
Im seeing people need college less every year 🤷🏻♂️
That is scary. America will not lead the world in anything if we don't educate.
