About TEDx, x=independently organize event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-
organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep
discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized
events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but
individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

most schools I've been to just didn't have the teaching tools needed to promote engagement with the students
when schools basically feels like prison where you have no autonomy, no status etc.. and that you are almost always in threat response mode, how exactly are you supposed to learn anything ???
also this talk should have been an hour long, it must have been extremely difficult to follow for anyone not familiar with the subject matter !
