I failed math 3 times during my 4 years of highschool. Went on to college and took a mathematical course and scored higher than any of the math grades I got during highschool. Life just works like that sometimes. I become more interested in learning as I got older.
My maths score just got worse and worse. It became more and more difficult for me to my mcs in structural engineering education. My attention span just got worse and worse. Cant even count how many times i failed in maths and physics. I failed i physics because i cant remember lot of things and physics had lot of volume. I failed in maths because i have very low organizational skills and short attention span. But in stuffs like drawing and 3d modelling no one can touch me. I suspect if it is trade off between artistic ability and analytical ability. I dont know if it is because of heartbreak in love that happened 10 years ago that is still affecting me. Or i am just naturally predisposed to being weak in maths, organizational skills etc.
Couldn't agree more. Also learning is more a delight as Neil describes in college because it is on your terms. You are an adult and you get to choose what class/subject you are going to take, with what teacher, and at what time of day. School as a minor felt like prison since legally you need a guardian and most choices are not yours.
Yas same here in high school GPA was 2.1. now I am getting my masters in information science with a 3.8 GPA. If high school me knew I was going to pursue more education I would never believe it. As i get older I'm curious and eager to learn more. I'm just sad that to get a higher education you will probably be in debt until you die.
Most HS math and science instructors and curriculum are bad ( under qualified or incorrect ). Same for many other discipline in HS or even in primary school .
I agree , life long learning is critical ! I am married , we have children and careers, my husband is encouraging me to learn more about home maintenance . Learning how to do small projects around the house . I started growing a tiny garden . I’m taking baby steps .
What you need for true success as a person is a lot harder than what you'll learn in a textbook. Integrity, bravery, diligence, perseverance, creativity, and critical thinking.
I named my son after my high school teacher "Daryl". He taught at an alternative school in Salt Lake City, Utah. Before that, was a counselor in prison. Highly insightful and refused to give up on his students.
Itś more complicated than that. Because the teachers have to deal with the curriculum/material/different students at different levels/internal fights with teachers/methods, and then there are the parents. And since itś more about right and wrong answers instead of truly being there and understanding and finding out how to do something in many different ways. Then it just ends up all being a competition and you as a student just looking good. I will tell you that, most of the books that the teachers have to deal with, make math not fun, but just very hard. So we are teaching people to do insanely hard things, without ever finding all the small gradients of how to make things possible, so that studying becomes interesting.
I agree entirely. As someone who is about to graduate college with a state certification in adolescent history teaching, the curriculum and plan that myself (in NY) is required to teach is trivial and widely uninteresting to students. State requirements with regents and AP exams as well just test kids on trivial knowledge, not how certain history topics relate to life and future success.
But when you only learn from those who think like you do, it confirms your prejudices. Only with humility can you really learn through an open mind. Tyson has demonstrated that he gets upset when his intellect is challenged.

You have to realize also that some students learn in different ways. I’m hands on and have made a good living in trades. I can learn ten times faster watching someone work on something or build something than trying to teach me something out of a book. Some kids do better out of a classroom.

I don’t think we can paint this with a broad brush. I genuinely loved school. Yes some classes were boring and labor intensive. But I always did well with good teachers and interesting subjects and activities.
I'm surprised they did not mention peer-to-peer learning in this clip at all. A lot of what makes college education A LOT better than any of the other education I had is how much I learn through extracurricular clubs and events. From K-12, it was pretty much learn whatever's in the classroom with whomever is nearby. There may be some room for networking, especially towards high school. But it is NOTHING like in the college level! There are clubs for certain majors, ethnic groups, and ambitions (think leadership, social justice, community service, etc.), and I can join as many as I want! Meaning, whatever interest or hobby I may have, I can more easily find someone who's got a similar interest. And no matter what level I was with whatever the club's main subject or theme was, I always gain perspective, a VERY vital thing to keep track of when it comes to learning. I may feel weak in a certain subject, but seeing others have the same struggle AND others that beat that struggle is so valuable. And even if I mastered the subject, I'm still learning a lot by talking to others at all levels about the subject.
5:10 "students who get good grades not because of good teachers but in spite of bad teachers" meaning the life long learner is in them, the innate desire to learn, self-motivated, self-driven 5:48 "a good teacher enables them to do better and a bad teacher allows they don't do as well" 9:52 "it's never really about the answer, it's about the questions, the seeds of curiosity the genesis of true learning" Man that's some real scientific knowledge. 10:54 "Genius is seeing what everyone is seeing but thinking what nobody else has thought." This is the proverbial divergent thinker.
The quality of teachers hasn't fallen all that much when I look back 40-50 years at all the teachers I had in school. What I see now is that the educational system is so harried and winging it that teachers have a hard time teaching when one year they get a new curriculum, then two years later one that is at a lower level, then the district pushes new STARS program and disrupts all the established classes. A lot of teachers just opt out and the ones who stay just resign themselves to forever chaos of new rules, curriculum, management attitudes towards subject, keep their heads down and hope retirement comes sooner.
As parents, as experienced people WE MUST, in my opinion, expose our children to many situations in which They will decide the better way to follow in their lives, in terms of professional careers. Not pushing them to follow a particular career. I think the same principle applies to schools/ universities.
The old-school compartmental idea (distinct life phases) does have some sense to it. In the case of college, all the resources focus on optimizing or maximizing learning. Then, that finished, the family life phase begins.
The k-12 arrangement, I think, seriously turns most people off from learning. The k-12 situation, my opinion, functions more as a child warehouse and instrument of perpetuating toxic pop culture..
I whole heartedly agree! Ppl leave school and think that is where the learning stops. Hence, they will never grow beyond that moment and expansion of the mind will never exist. They become the ones we can tell anything and they will believe it. Example: My lil brother wants to get into crypto, I sent him an article to read and he complained that it was boring and too long - I simply said then you don’t want to know crypto! It’s just getting sad man.
I failed math in high school. Became inspired by an incredible professor in undergrad and discovered I wasn't bad at math. Went on to study math in graduate school and make a career in STEM. In general, math teachers do suck. But also the learning environment in high school is terrible.
In college I had a math professor that would use the most basic examples on class work, then on the exam she would go to advance levels of math. I failed twice and come to find out she had the highest fail rate on campus
Ask a public school kid, "how can you find out something you need or want to know?" Their answer will be , "I don't know." Explain to the kid they have this internet thing, youtube tutorials, etc, and they will say the next time, "I don't know." It's a tragedy how the public school system has beaten the curiosity and drive out of the kids by the third grade.
A question to ask from Neil. Was he good in all subjects or he was bad in some and good in others ? Brain plays a role in your liking or not liking some subjects than others. Teachers/Parents job is to find the kids interest and then teach the love of learning and curiosity in that area
Teachers in general are better at teaching with the straight A's students, I think it might be because of the good predisposition from those students to learn, the real cause they are A students, some have it naturally and others have to find that capacity, the teacher can't do that for them for entire classes... Each one require different things, try to figure that out for that many people...
I wish smart people would stop talking about conservative this and liberal that. It's counter productive and frankly an incorrect oversimplification. Further, there are ample studies that prove one's political affiliation has very little to do with some conscious logical decision process but rather a subconscious decision driven by your environment. Similar to sports teams, religion, and music. You didn't decide to like these things.
Without grades, how do you determine someone as qualified to attend or take up something out if a million or 10 million students? Test them one by one within a few days?
The school system isn't supposed to instill a craving for life long learning, it's supposed to maintain it. Kids are ALWAYS asking questions, ALWAYS going "why, why, why?" but give them like 3 years in any school and they suddenly hate it. I've never known a kid that wanted to go to school except for the ones that are abused at home. So schools are failing even worse than we think, because kids already want to learn and we've messed that up.
Our attention span has been severely altered to the point where information passes right by. We look but don't see, we hear but don't listen. We've become autonomous by design. This goes all the way back to schools and how we undervalue our teachers. The molders of our societies have been exhausted and worked to brink of failure. They've become autonomous themselves leading to an endless cycle
I know many teachers who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their subjects.... but this still doesn't spark curiosity in many students. Maybe parents play a role in sparking interest in learning? Or society doesn't encourage curiosity? Just saying....
@@sthubbins4038 because says things about science in fields where he has no knowledge or experience, and plays it off as "thinking like a scientist." And then changes his tune when real scientists lambast him for speaking out of his ass. Which has occurred numerous times.

And I think after he said he wasn’t a good student and didn’t get good grades, you can tell he was super intimidated in Pat’s presence.
Teachers suck at their job? So many do. In this school district there are five mostly native Alaskan schools. The district's attitude is that they are hopeless and not worth even trying. The village is where the new teachers are sent and if one turns out above completely hopeless they get sent to the mostly white school. The village schools are also where the teachers from the white school are sent to be forced to quit. But even the white school has failing proficiency ranges, 15-25 percent. It's the second worst school district in the state. So most of the teachers give up trying. Take the same kids, put them in something like Lego robotics, with the coach who has real life experience in programming, robots and other work and the kids win first place. How can they beat the best homeschoolers, nine out of ten of the top lego teams are homeschoolers, and be from the second worst district in Alaska? Replace the regular school teachers with someone who wants the kids to excel.
I want to be a Programmer but i get “either work or study” i ask but what if i get good at programming and make money “then make it!” I need time though.” You need to study for that” I taught myself! “Then why haven’t you made it?” Ugh shut the hell up!!!! 😡
Is Tyson really as smart as we/I assume he is? How did Tyson get into Harvard after graduating 350th out of 700 students in high school? His WIKI page says this "Tyson earned a BA degree in physics at Harvard College in 1980 and then began his graduate work at the University of Texas at Austin,[19] from which he received an MA degree in astronomy in 1983.

His professors encouraged him to consider alternative careers and the committee for his doctoral dissertation was dissolved, ending his pursuit of a doctorate from the University of Texas.[20]" It seems he may be well read in Astronomy and that's about it, but if you do anything for 40 years you should master it as he just doesn't make sense on most other issues or has an opinion that's not based on anything. He clearly has no interest in learning anything other than Astronomy/Astrophysics by his own admission.
