- In this short, Katharine Birbalsingh discusses whether or not more funding improves education standards. Birbalsingh would always accept more funding in her own school, however, improving the fundamental structure of education yields greater results.

'Don't let school stand in the way of your education' - by mark twain
'You can't get an education without government funded school' - big government
We need to make sure the ALL parents value education. Also, we need to teach our children the basics as is mentioned here.
The exact same can be said for health, we fund it with a massive amount of money but they aren't any better, more money doesn't mean better outcomes
Thanks for the conversations that you bring into our lives John.
I don’t think that anyone who truly recognized that their family was dysfunctional would jump both feet into being parents. I think you’d have to be a bit blind / self-deceived.
If we are going to talk about the family environment, then maybe the conversation should be more around “this is what a healthy family looks like” and how about “and this is what to do if after having kids you realise your family is dysfunctional”
Sometimes you just have no idea what parenting will be like until you actually have kids.
America is in great need of the Birbalsingh approach. Use to be this way here.
As a member of an education union I agree with you but there is the problem of over funded schools getting more money than schools that legitimately need repairs and upgrades. There is money pouring into the "jewel in the crown" (quote from previous education executive officer) and schools with asbestos and in a state of disrepair get a dribble of funding.
Education department funding on attendance means we lose money for everyone at the school because certain kids have a cultural disenfranchisement to education.
That will not change ANYTHING. :)
I am from Sweden.
Here we have something called "the school coin".
It is basically the money every school gets per pupil. The funding for immigrant problem areas and schools is TWICE as high, as in areas for white, Swedish kids.
(It is basically a deeply racist system, that gives brown kids twice as much money, as white kids).
Still, the immigrant packed schools always, every single year, have the absolutely poorest school results. While "white" schools, who gets HALF the funding have excellent results, immigrant areas, (which all receive twice as much money), have absolutely horrific results.
Last year, 40% of the students in the absolutely overfunded 2nd/3rd generation immigrant schools, failed their school year, and did not pass the minimum requirements. 97% of ethnic Swedish students did just fine, though.
The problem is not money. The problem is what kind of dregg your society has, and where they come from. Do not let those dreggs into your society, and do not give them any money. - It is a waste of resources!
The numbers are CRYSTAL CLEAR on this. 🙂
At the end of the day, parental involvement will always, ALWAYS, trump anything the school can do. Whether it is funding, student-teacher ratios, lesson plans, etc, none of it will matter for squat with a dissolving family unit.
People keep saying this, but when you correct for genetic effects, no known environmental effects have been found
She’s very interesting! down to earth and charismatic. Impressed.
So true.....
I agree do not give them a smart phone., or a smart car, or smart appliances, or let them sit by Wi-Fi electronics in school, just my opinion but it’s a good one.
Investment of any kind needs to have specified attainable goals and clearly defined enforceable penalties. Standardize the tests. If the students fail, punish them. If enough students in a class fail, punish the teachers. And if a whole school fails, punish the parents. It's their money that you're investing after all.
They could make them climate indoors more conducive to learning.. so you don't leave an embarrassing sweat mark on the seat etc if that hasn't been addressed yet. It's just too hot.
As Ms. Birdalsingh said, "Teach them phonics." Yes! The "whole language" nonsense has left millions of students behind... and few of them will ever catch up.
The greatest problem so many intelligent individuals have is that they think of people and children as standardized units. We turned public schools into factories where the administration assumed that all children are units of production. The teachers take in the standardized units and are expected to produce higher quality standardized units after twelve years of effort. And if the output isn't of higher uniform quality then more public funds are needed to correct the problem. Doing the same process repeated excessively and expecting a different eventual outcome is the definition of insanity. Public schools existed over a century ago to produce standardized factory workers who would never be more than semiskilled labor. I don't see where the thinking has changed all that much.
Schools have become "social experiments" and so inclusive, woke and equal outcome that learning has relagated to the back burner. Toss in no discipline that is so disruptive that even the students that want to learn cannot. This is the USA.
Lack of dysfunctional families = lack of Jimmys..
"No Second Prize"
Oh Yeah
I heard about a person who had a broken heart
With nothing to drive him on, no hope no spark no flame
He couldn't see at all tears they were blinding him
He kept it all inside, the guilt and all the pain
You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
You know I say I tried to warn him
They had him backed up against the wall
Why can't I stand up and try to tell him
They've got me backed up against the wall
I hope I'm not too late
No one can tell you exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to stand your ground and fight to save your life
It may be hard but ooh ooh it's the only way
Always remembering there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
There ain't no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
There's not gonna be no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
Oh there's no second prize
Oh no there ain't no second prize
Never never never never gonna be
Oh no there ain't no second prize
To improve education standards we must exile those without any.
Amen !
Adding funding doesn't increase quality of results if they just do more of the same thing.
You are only as good as the good teacher next door.
Teachers does not have any measurable effect. Huge studies on identical twins have proved this
4.23 "obviously" - not to a dysfunctional family it's not, that's what education is about, light bulb moments when what you know to be is realised to be dysfunctional.
more funding could lead to more greedy controller or player.
The Pisa results show that funding is not related to academic outcome.
Just stop teaching nonsense. That'll help
Just because people can medically have kids doesn't necessarily mean they should!
Medically? You mean biologically I think but I agree with your sentiment.
This woman is absolutely delusional. No early start program had any effect. Mothers counting with their children are more intelligent than those who don't. That's why their kids end up smarter. Simple, but teachers refuse to believe it because it would reduce their status.
The simple truth is that teachers does not matter much.
For example, identical twins having same teachers vs those having different teachers should be more similar if teachers had any effect. But they are not.
More funding will not change ANYTHING. :)
