Teens React #134 - TEENS REACT TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
We get up at 6:00 everyday and usually never have time to eat breakfast, which let me remind you is the most important meal of the day. Without breakfast, we won't work or think as productively. We have somewhere around seven hours of school and somewhere around thirty minutes of break which is usually lunch. And at lunch is usually when students do their homework or stress about how much they have. We are then expected to go home and do another hour or two of homework and have extra curricular activities and be able to sustain a normal social life. After staying up till 12:00 or maybe even later, we go to bed and repeat the process. We aren't raising an intelligent, successful, creative generation. We are raising a generation of zombies. We need change.
Delaney Konz
Delaney Konz uhhh... Tbh these aren't good arguments. With good time management you are able to eat breakfast (sleep earlier), eat lunch (do homework at home), do homework and have time free for yourself (time management). I get your point and I know its difficult but you are able to deal with it.
Welcome to the rest of your life.
Dalton Leblanc
true
Thats very similar to my day, but add in my job of art in the weekends.
The saddest part is everyone knows this video is true, but we will get back to our life just as if we have never watched it.
Tony Stark Couldn't agree more
Sure,for some schools. But I think that is mostly public schools. I never experienced this.
Yea
because our parents force us to go to school and "learn"
and no i don't hate my parents it's just that they don't get it
Erkhes Nadmid My mon and dad agree, but we can’t change it until the future so if we don’t live with it them we won’t be excepted by society
Bank: you're broke
Me: mitochondria is the power house of the cell
Lemomtea your icon😍
Fr
LMFAOOOOO BRUHDKDK
Bank: damn....A+ your not broke now
bruh
I'd like too see elders or parents react to the same video.
@Daniel Such yes
We watched this in my history class and my teacher got suspended because it was deemed inappropriate
And then he gave all of you $100 each.
Birdy Ki wow thats bs
Bendroo i wish
Your school must be deemed idiot.
@@mgsgamer8340 yep
my problem is that school isnt about learning its about getting a grade so even the classes that i feel like i should enjoy i dont i wish it was different and this is with college too
at my uni on master studies (MA) we have Pass/non-pass; lack of pressure to get an A for some reason motivates to do well even better, without the pressure and with space to so your thing and actually learn :) I hope you have a similar opportunity in the future, good luck :)
thank you
When you work for the grade you end up learning. See how that works?
You can also learn if you really want to. just btw
sydneyyyy lol "you don't test well". You mean you struggle with the part where they actually find out what you know?? That's called being stupid.
schools nowadays are about GRADES rather than LEARNING!
Alyssa Ramirez I say this everyday! I am going to a school currently where grades matter 10 times more than actual learning! it's so unfortunate........
Alyssa Ramirez The unfortunate thing about this is that a lot of my peers, and me included, actually like learning, but learning for a grade sours the entire experience. It turns something that could be really interesting and worth-knowing into a stressful experience.
Learning is now not a thing it’s all about test do we have to go to school we talk English we can talk in our language history can be researched our religions have a book
Amen
Forever not just today
parents react to school system
B&C Productions YES!
B&C Productions yes
YES
YES YES YES YES!
I'm honestly more curious about how elders would react.
Teachers react to the school system!
Aarya Sudheer OMG yasssss
Aarya Sudheer THIS WOULD BE PERFECT. 😂
Aarya Sudheer I want to know if teachers are on our side.
Captain Kefler Yes
A parent should worry less about if their kid gets an A and more about if they sit with the lonely kid in the cafeteria.
yeah
totally, kindness is a unique, but superior intelligence. if this was school, the world would be so much better
Joel Trouchet that’s so true
McHenry Maney
Yeah superior intelligence is what every kid in my class strive for and we make competition out of everything so most of my class are quite toxic to each other
I feel both are equally important. It is important to do well in school and be motivated to get the a’s to get into a college, but we should also be kind and “sit with the lonely kid”.
I was doing homework while watching this and realized , "I will never use this information ever again in my life and career"
If the school system won't change, school is only for competing for good scores and a fancy piece of paper called a diploma.
True
I only go to school just to get friends
Ikr I will never use biology when im playing violin
@@franco2668i cant even get friends in school
The sad part is the school still won't change
Why is it that football players are completly OVERPAID but teachers are underpaid?
everybody can be a teacher, football stars have an incredibly talent, and they pay for talent
something about being at risk every game they play or something like that.
Lindsey you're stupid if you actually think it's easy to be an NFL Player
***** it is easy. They are way overpaid. They have huge houses. They basically can have almost whatever they want. Sure, they have to train for games, but other than that, they have it very easy.
***** yes, i could see at first they would go crazy with it. Because its like putting bread in front of starving children. But still, it wouldnt kill them to wise up on their decision making.
there should be a Adults reaction to this video wanna see what they think about this vid
They'll see right thought the bullshit of this guy, that's what would happen.
Ross Gerabaldi explain
Ross Gerabaldi i feel sad for your thinking process then. Good luck in the future,,,
Dobromir Simeonovv I feel sad for your inability to think critically. He sounds like a kid running for class president that's promising 4 day weekends.
School should prepare kids for paying bills and life skills because when in life do I need to know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Maybe you don't. But a biologist does. Your comment is pointless.
***** But the kid sat next to them might. Classes aren't catered to the individual.
***** It isn't fucked though, if you think it is whats the solution then? Also, don't you think your parents would maybe teach you life skills?
Zachary Snerd
Other people need it. And right now you probably don't even know what career you want to pursue when you are older.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!
+Lord Giratina
The robot transformation has begun in this person... so sad...
Jury76 ;TheJurySquad it's a Tumblr meme
If you don't believe this, just type "School makes me" into google and see the suggested results.
Angelo i just looked for an entire hour at things related to school...
One said "school makes me sad" and I related so much that I cried
SebVet5sf Forza “school makes me feel dumb” I felt that on a spiritual level dawg
Angelo school makes me so sad. That’s what it said😞
Angelo I searched up "school makes me want to" and one of the suggestions said "give up". I remember that feeling I had and I'm afraid I will eventually do give up 😔
Teachers should be reacting to this
YES
YES
@@u.s.a3940teachers don't control the repetitive curriculum
I'm from Finland and I do agree that our school system is good. But. I did study about 7 hours a day and every day I did my homework. Math, science, forgein languages etc..What makes the difference, is our teachers. They are all highly educated and appreciated. Every subject can be as interesting as arts and sports, if the teacher is doing a good job.
You are damn right, when I was in elementary school every math teacher called me basically hopeless. Until I meet a great teacher in middle school.
My Math teacher last year didn't know a thing about the curriculum. I learned everthing by myself and with my friends.
I go to an art school. No difference. One day a week with art. Yeah now I think you guys will understand why I'm starting a petetion
Remy Martinez lol
Imagine going to art school and being taught physics. Like, thank you, but I'm pretty sure knowing physics won't help me get a job at an animation studio
Life: How do you oh taxes?
Me: The mitochondria is the power house of the cell.
Life: Okay, but how do you oh taxes?
Me: SOU CAH TOA
Life: Sorry, don't wanna be 'that guy', but it's 'SOH CAH TOA' the H is for hypotenuse
Some old hippie caught another hippie tripping on acid
Sine, cosine and tangent pretty useful in my line of work

Now, education isn't about learning, it's about passing. 😐
Yep
yup
u just explained my hole 7 years of school
Looks like you needed more
True, also ayeee phandom
If you're good at something, and it's easy for you, that's your calling.
miiworld2 yep
idk, if your good at something, and you love it, i think that might be for you, because sometimes people do REALLY hard hobbies like creating computers and model airplanes and alot more that i cant think of! No matter if they are hard, they love it.
We have homework in finland tho...
I also believe that brains are very similar. Yes no two are the same, but neither are kidneys, etc. (Granted, those slight physiological variances can have a great impact on personality, ability, memory, etc.)
sssshhhhh you're our way out of doing homework.
oh my god you wanna hear about homework look up the International Baccalaureate program.
+War-Fare-Ninja from the brief information I was able to collect from searching it up, that program sounds very promising. Are you taking part in it? Is so, what country? But I was mainly curious about Finland's education system since it has one of the leading educations in the world. Talking about homework was just a starting point. I figured getting an account from someone that takes part in it would be a good starting point. But what do you in the International Baccalaureate program?
ikr xD
why isn't this guy president?
Andrew Mok because donald trump is
Uhh he scammed my 9 dollars on school shit 😒
WE NEED HIM AS THE PRESIDENT!!!!!! "
I dont think you dont know a thing about politics
Biden is president now
we need that guy for president right now!
That's what I was thinking
Marcos M better than what we have to chose from for sure
I AM A WALRUS YEP agreed
People put so much pressure on people in my school and their GCSE's we're all told if we don't listen or fail on that one test your life's over! But a lot of the lessons I'll never need in life
@Blobber Not every lesson you learn from school, will be applied in the real world.
Sounds like Prince Ea would make a better president than Donald Trump.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Simon Forsell hmmmmmmm yeah
Nope, Nope, Nope
Trump Trump Trump!!!
+TriggerMeTimbers :(
Anyone would be better tbh
Schools really should teach life skills such as cooking, financing, paying bills/taxes, etc. They used to, and they need to bring it back.
CosmicG777
For us it's called Home Ec
Sans The Skeleton we don't even have a home ec class anymore
Aren't the latter taught in college with cooking being way easier to learn from a family member? I'm younger than these people and I can cook a full meal by myself yet these people are more likely to just buy food at a restaurant or fast food place
Especially how to deal with depression and anxiety
I have 6 hours of school and 45 minutes of break time.
that's a lot of break time!
Jasmin Basham
My school days are 5-6 hours with 1 ten minute break and 1 fifty minute break.
Hylian Montage same
I have 7.5 hours of school and 1 hours of break time does that mean were equal to yours?
I have 8 hours of school and 30 dometimes 25 of break time
At the end of the day, the smartest kids teach themselves.
Shwam Atkinson true
Shwam Atkinson word up!
i got an C in chemistry and my mom didin't even smile. She even said.
- you have to get an A or i wont be proud.
Sorry for my bad english im from Sweden
nordics are smart cmon u can get an A
Sirius oh nvm you're from sweden oh crap sorry :D
Sirius at least you passed 😊don't worry
My mom would beat me for a B 😂 Asian parents
The grade don’t choose your future.
I completely agree, but how can we fix the system?
me too i agree
After Boyinaband released his song Don't Stay in School on a similar topic, he made some follow up videos where he responded to comments and discussed some things he might consider better for the system, and some schools have already started making changes due to him getting the word out. You should check his channel out!
... He also did a video on Prince Ea here...
Make it more interactive and teach kids stuff based on what they actually *need* to know for what they want their future jobs to be (chosen in 8th or 9th grade maybe), like college, instead of shoving everything possible down their throats and hoping for the best.
it would be interesting to have educators react to this video
you Need to get to the top
Lulu help this get to the top
Lulu True, let's get this to the top
yessss please !
0:59 Are you actually kidding me? We use the same books because their concepts still stand. The lessons are still there and are still relevant. 1:10 Don't compare material advancement to an academic system lmao. 1:32 The rows are irrelevant. The raising hands is in order to allow kids to input opinion without interrupting each other. 1:40 Most teachers, especially ones in interpretive subjects, don't tell us what to think just the best way to get to it. If it's an absolute truth subject like math then they should. 1:55 Doctors tend to have to have higher education and more "skilled" jobs. 2:27 >wants them to prepare us for the future >wants more art or dance classes rather than math. 2:36 THat's a pretty crappy comparison considering the climate, population, etc. differences.
Damn the roast
PREACH!
the girl snapping her fingers to the screen gave me LIFE
My thoughts on school are:
School right now is teaching us to memorize and follow
While what it NEEDS to do to train us for the future is how to Adapt and Change.
Actually that is what school does.It's the students fault.I always followed everything in school and what the professors told me and i never had any problems with life after school exactly because i listened to what they told me
KoKo_Ninja
It is,if they actually bothered to practise and study and stop saying things like "im a fish so i cant climb tree" no thats wrong if you believe enough and work hard you can achieve that.You can climb the tree even as a fish.
Even tho we are all different we all have the same potential.And with enough studying and practising anyone can achieve great knowledge.
The best teachers doesn't teach at all, but rather inspires their students to teach themselves
No, the best teacher does both. Intrinsical motivation is of course critical, but it is as important to correct students where they are wrong and help them where they can't progress by themselves.
Upload a video of "Teachers React To The School System".
YASS!!
OMGG YASSS
Yep
yes please!
Lol
I've pretty much made straight As all my life but don't retain a lot of info, and I feel like it's gonna backfire on me since I'm starting college.
Then study more if you don't retain information.
How's college?
@@stuff5757 Well, I've graduated and can't find a job and feel like I've already forgotten most of what I learned, so just as predicted.
@@anti_MATT_er what did you graduate in?

I'm a smart student but I have crappy grades
which smart? street smart, or book smart, or puzzle smart?
Sir John Berry all around smart.
Smart people ≠ people with good grades
Dunning-kruger effect.
I love this I wish the Australian government would give a shit though
@EE drawz yeah def indian teachers are the worst they always beat and scold and in my school there was a stupid rule that you can't go to the bathroom during school hours and we can't do anything abt it yknow
@EE drawz that's not on the schools fault thats on the parents not parenting their kid.
Most parents sit down with their kid(s) and teach them how to read for when they start kindergarten or preschool and then the kids reading lvl evolves over time
my teacher just got layed off for trying to be different
That's the school system for you.
He needs to run for president, or at least be schoolboard for wherever he is.
Its Leena agreed
School isn't even about learning anymore, it's about passing😔😔
I swear school caused me to have panic attacks and low self esteem
FartingUnicorn sounds like bullshit to me
Do you mean the people at school?
i have low self esteem because of school
I agree.
I suffer anxiety. Thank you school.
School isn't about learning anymore it's about passing.
It also isn't about "getting a job".
As an aerospace engineering student, most children in the new generations pay most attention to social media rather than their own education, sure we need a new education system that doesn't rely solely on letter grades, but also in the students and teachers to work together and structure classes based on what career the student wants to have
First of all, the leaders need to change the school system to make it so that learning is actually interesting, teachers will actually care more about how the students are improving and if they actually do understand the lesson before moving on, prioritizing quality over quantity and actually talk and motivate students and help them if they were ever to have a problem and try their best to help. That would make students more motivated to go to school and take it seriously, be honest, and actually try to improve. When the students become more motivated and take things seriously, the amount of bullies will decrease rapidly and it would make a much better and non-toxic environment to learn and motivate the students even more and their health will go up. And lastly, the parents and guardians need to be taught about how grades doesn't matter as much and how they need to treat their children and just look at the improvement rather than the actual numbers. If they're not improving, they need to talk to their child calmly, ask them about the problem and make the child understand that its fine to be honest and help them solve their problems. All in all, this would help everyone.
The world would get better imployees and possible leaders, better relationships between children and parents/guardians, better coordination and teamwork to help students improve, and all in all would make the world a better place. But for that wonderful and better world to be in our hands, the leaders of the world who actually has powers to do that needs to open their eyes and make the first move. It's like a whole domino effect.
School isnt even about learning…now its just getting good grades and passing……its sad :(
Bryana Marin true :(
now? its literally always been like this.
ikr I'm in school.
really homework is bs
theschreiberclan Yeah, as if we don't do enough for 6 hours, locked in doors. They feel the need to send us home to do more of what we already did in class. Home is supposed to be our place to destress, and we need time to ourselves.
TALKINGtac0 plus I think most schools do it for 7 or 8 hrs actually
yeah guys math is no more important than art or dance, because you just have to know how to dance to pay your bills and taxes.
There's a lot of people whose job is dance. They teach dance, they dance for companies, they do back up dancing. That is their job. That is how they bill their bills. No one is the same. There are millions of jobs that pay bills that don't deal with math.
Grumar S You know what a calculator is, right?
Destros gaming but how would u know how to use it if i barely know any math
Destros gaming In math class they teach you how would you do it if you didn't had a calculator or phone close to you, well in my country they do.
Please make this man president
please instead of trump
Noelia Arias instead of anyone >-
I agree
Ehh not untill he gives me back my 9 dollars
* "Teens react to a propaganda piece about the school system"
No, the system isn't perfect, but before anyone starts flippantly changing everything, they should know why things are the way they are, so things aren't made worse by ignoring something that was learned centuries ago. (You don't throw the baby out with the bath water)
Bill 1138 Have you seen the comparison of the United States education system to the rest of the world?
Look up an outlet from a hundred years ago. Look up lightbulbs from a hundred years ago. Look up spoons from a hundred years ago, or even a thousand. They haven't really changed in a significant way.
yes, school needs change
***** "Obviously you don't just change school for no reason, I get that."
You have no idea how many adults can't figure that out (especially when applied to politics). Good luck with your schooling, and I hope you never lose that sensibility
Bill 1138
That made zero sense at all
A student from Finland here! Yay I'm happy that my country is being represented because of a great thing 🇫🇮
Chris Garcia one of my school days is 4 hours
Petra Yle Finland, you doing it right. Don't change. xD
Petra Yle how long are your school days?
Chris Garcia i have 6 hours at most and im 15
Chris Garcia or 30 hours a week
school isn't even about learning anymore, its just a passing game
+Jada H Exactly.
+Jada H You learn to pass though
whenever i ask for help because i don't get something. they just tell me, "its in the book" and at the end of the day i still didn't learn anything.
you don't learn anything because you don't study,students just memorize everything 4-1 days prior to the test and that isn't stutdying
"Sure math is important but no more than art or dance" YEAH sure don't make Incredible advances in mathematics and technology and forget about even watching the video math is everywhere it is the fundamental foundation of well everything science arts geography history everything so yeah math is real important
Tactical Gaming umm yep
See?! This is why there are so many idiots going for art classes. "Buh dancin and litreryature is muh more imporant than science! What did science do? Bombs." Typical idiots.
+MamboJambo Science did advanced health care and research Advances in technology by which I can communicate with people like you From flying like a bird and reaching into zero gravity to planting flags on other bodies like the moon being able to print 3d objects to make your disability your Ability from being able to destroy with devastating force to create dynamic monuments of legacy and a thousand more what did dance do ?

+MamboJambo Sorry I am a science enthusiast so sarcasm isn't my cup of tea
When I watched the full video I almost cried a little😢
same
You're crying cuz u realize that u just waisted 20 years for nothing.
I got forced to do dance for three years over here in England. xD I could have been improving a skill that I knew I wanted to do...
Saoirse Malone Agreed. Just putting it out there that some people don't want to do dance.
This video made me realise something in my school we have to chose our subjects in year 9 that we will have to do for our gcse's which is an important test you do in year 11(age 15-16) if I someone doesn't get good grades in math it means they can't take science. There could be an amazing scientist that just doesn't get math that well. But they wouldn't be able to become one in my school..........
he needs to run for president
Dilan shah true
Dilan shah everyone knows he would be better than Donald Trump...
Dilan shah Yeah
@@yan_nie0 yeah
AH WAE nah. Trump 2020
A lot of people argue that "kids are just lazy" which is completely true, but if schools changed they way they teach (for example, teach the need to know basics of math, social studies, and science and then let the extra stuff be optional) then kids wouldn't be lazy because they'd have more of a drive to try. Give the students options, dont make then sit and learn something they won't even try to do, let them do something they want to pursue a career in or at least let them choose to take a class that will help them more as an adult. Let art students focus on art especially if they want to pursue it, let math kids do math, and science kids do science. Finally, give the teachers good pay, they carve the path for students and students carve the path for the next generations.
MixingPaint I couldn't have said it better myself, mostly because I've actually proposed this idea to my friends almost word for word before I read this.
I 110% agree with this
noahsuchus Same
School is really just how much can you memorize for the test
Nicolas Bocchino And then forget it the next month
exactly i remember some things from a test and then i forgot it
Same now I have to memorize or aka study then forget the next day and memorize another test
Make "teens react to pumped up kicks meme" pls it would be awesome:D
This vídeo is beutiful
Can this guy be president instead of Trump or Hillary lol
goaty lmaooo yaaas
Math and science education is more important then art, especially in this country where math and science education is so poor.
***** Compared to the rest of the modern world our math and science education system leaves our kids years behind their counter parts in other countries. If you want to do a comparison you have to look at what they are teaching. They aren't focusing on the arts.
Art(iculation) is how this guy spread his message in the video.
Nothing is more important than another whether it be computer engineering, construction worker, Doctor, etc. It is what keeps humanity going and how long we can exist.
Yeah, the reason why places like Finland and Singapore are said to have such great schools is because their students test the best in mathematics and sciences.
Looks like you disregarded everything else they said
Take this how you want, but I think a rebelion is rising...
It's now above what's "needed" it's what's wanted that we need. We focus too much on the bare minimum now.
ZedFalcon You were wrong, it’s still the same lol
@@cyb3r665 I mean he is right about the rebellion but wrong about its reason
You know, people might actually care about school and learn things if they were interested in why they were learning and weren't forced to be boxed in one square that EVERYONE must be in.
You go to school to get a job in the future. The actual shaping you to be an adult is the parents job. The school isn't there to raise you.
Thank you!
But to be honest, you're spending so much time at school and even off-school. School isn't there to raise you, but actually help you to be a person in society nawmsayin. Like ya parents aint there 24/7. But it doesn't just need to limit us for just a job, should use the knowledge we were taught to influence people and help this world ya'll feel me
shanira99 That's why we need change because they choose what you learn even if it does absolutely nothing for you. Trying in something you aren't wishing to succeed in is extremely hard. Also, kids get more influence from people they talk to more than their parents.
That's the problem. It's a tool for material success instead of a chance to expand the way you see and engage the world.
So you're telling me that 150 years ago, schools had child protection rights, modern technology, nonsegregated school systems, three different layers of the school system, background checks on teachers, healthy and affordable lunch options, and multi-level schools. Yeah, ok.
i mean yeah the schools are better nowadays but that doesn't mean they don't need improvement
Jason Doe healthy food? Im better off eating trash from the back alley way and get 100% more nutrition
lolita and cars dont they aren't perfect
Brendan Sman
i didn't say anything about cars. but i agree that everything can use improvement
I understand the message, but the schooling system is fine. There's drawing and painting classes, ceramics classes, band practice, theater, theater tech, filming classes, dance teams, sports teams. There's plenty of extra curricular activities in school to help kids practice the core focus of what they think they might want to get into career wise and for college. But the general education is important too, they should add more stuff about taxes/mortgages/insurance and stuff though.
Nina Dees No the school system needs to be sorted out
Nina Dees unless you have no life doing all those things to the best of your ability is difficult, you have to prioritize things over the others.
Nina Dees Maybe at your school, hun.
Nina Dees - You should google John Taylor Gatto.
all school ever does is make me feel stupid, stressed, and alone
I relate too much m8.
why don't they learn about taxes or how to make profit? I learned all of that in 4th grade :/
👌nice
there is a class called economics that teaches that. Sadly in mine we just learned how to debate on topics which was freaking stupid and useless. Plus my teacher was new and old so he really had no clue what he was doing.
Oriana B wow ....that's sad
Oriana B did you tell the principle
Oriana B those people were idiots tbh
I think Adults and Elders need to react to this too for added contrast or added commentary on the topic
Here's an actual quote by Einstein. One that goes against the fish story
“I want to oppose the idea that the school has to teach directly that special knowledge and those accomplishments which one has to use later directly in life. The demands of life are much too manifold to let such a specialized training in school appear possible […] The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgement should always be placed foremost.”
Uh school has changed in the past 150 years. Before it was about learning and now it's about passing.
Oh wow
thats depressing
Noelle Morgan Wow okay, thank you for listing things that has changed in school
Exactly it went from a 1 room school to a multi room/floor school
School doesn't test your knowledge. It tests how good your memory is. My teachers say I'm a really bright student. Yet I average a C's. I'm smart but don't have great memory. And now my grades suffer.
Stuff is wrong with the school system of course. But ''Nothing has changed'' ? Are you kidding me? Teachers beat students, they are segregated by race and gender? The books havent adapted? Methods havent changed?
Elevindollar And technology
Elevindollar I think they're talking about the methods of teaching... those haven't changed... in most cases
His speech is definitely exaggerated and misinformed. They needed to watch a Ted Talk on this subject.
Elevindollar
Ikr sometimes I feel like these videos are made to make less intelligible people feel better about themselves and purely for that reason
They ever considered that 'nerds' are smart because they work hard
Mya Bligen Methods have changed dramatically. Beating is one of them, tons of new methods are being developed regularly, teachers are educated on these all the time
i have never had a single class where they discuss how important social media and world problems are, but i've been required to know chemical compounds and graphical limits
My school always thought it was important, I have a class about current media and past history. This class was amazing, they stressed that this age is the Information Age so they try to diatribe information about current events and how it will impact us. I'm surprised that some schools don't teach this...
Why don't you show this same video to the adults and have them react.. Hell even one of them is a teacher, at least he'll have something intelligent to say
DvL STEAKums I don't care about their political views and that doesn't mean they'll say the same thing, also that doesn't mean all those adults were born and raised in California for 35+ years... I'm mostly just interested to hear what the teacher from Adults Reacts has to say about this
We need education but the school system is pretty messed up
My mom is a teacher and she hates the school system and she feels bad for the children because she wants to teach them in a way that they will grow up to be successful she has to deal with all the common core bullshit
"Sure Math is important but no more than Art or Dance." No, you are wrong, Mathematics is much more important than the ability to dance or analyse/draw art.
So being creative isn't important? Without creativity, there would be no use for math.
agree
Subjects such as science will allow for the bettering of basic living conditions, while arts will never be able to do that.
Littlemisssmileyface yet science can also cause or create new viruses and diseases that can millions of possible death. Art is like output on how you feel and can also see the person's state of mind, Art is also helps how the society evolves.

You're on to something.
People don't necessarily see Psychology as an art, but the best of psychiatrists are brilliant in their ability to unweave the abstract and root out the source. This takes a brilliantly creative mind.
Wanna hear a joke? Dance is as important as math lol
Mugen Ittoryu you just don't understand
It's different for everyone else.
Mugen Ittoryu Wanna hear a joke? You are funny lol.
Mugen Ittoryu To a dancer than yes...your "joke" answers itself.
+modernwarrior24 Even a dancer needs to know how to count.
I doubt there's any other profession that requires even the most basic of dances.
.....what's common core?
Stacy Silver hell
Stacy Silver common core is just the worst thing you will experience
Stacy Silver it is a bullshit way of teaching math.
"All of you get taught the same stuff. Period. No matter what you do, you learn the same crap the future drop outs do."
Is that in U.S.?
I agree with this because I have no idea how to pay taxes, write a check, etc. For me learning about algebra doesn't help me at all.
School isn't about learning the basic life skills your parents, family, community etc should be teaching you. Schools are there to teach you academia. Maths, English, Science, Economics, History, etc.
yeah exactly, which is why it needs to change.
SpecAgentChris1 A lot of schools do offer life skills classes. Things like woodshop, home ec, textiles, accounting, typing, drivers ed and health. But if a school has a limited budget, these are the classes that will get cut first. It is better to learn English and Maths as these can be applied to many jobs
Im so happy that I know how to find the length of a hypotenuse instead of finding a job
Get elders to react to this too, it'd be interesting what their thoughts would be
this
when in was in 2nd grade my teatcher gave us homework and it said do 2+2and then tell me how you got 2+2 and i was so confused
ravenshark24 at 2+2?
It was found that once common core math started grades lowered, creativity lowered, and stress grew over a healthy level
There's no real way to measure creativity.
Source?
Give me a solid source and I will consider it
Sayem
Damn so much salt in one comment xD
Don't say math kills creativity. More advanced problems require your creativity and in order to do the task you need to think outside common knowledge. Math is very often found as the hardest subject just becouse it requires practice, remembering and creativity, all at the same time. People tend to have one or two of those core skills and aren't strong or motivated enough to develop third. That's why math is such a problem for many and school does very little to help you with that.
I think it would've been better to have the adults react to this one, especially since one of them is a teacher. The teens are obviously going to support this 'reform school' message, but have no practical (and really thought-out) solutions to offer. Our educational system is currently tied down because of states' rights to govern education. Charter schools often do better because they have more independence than public schools.
Become homeschooled or do online school like me, easy.
Isis Rose H same
Ii do common core free online homeschool
Some families can't afford to do that or are scared (like mine).
Jes is fab c: A lot of online schools are free, like k12. And they send you a computer and books etc.
don't have that in my country ;(
math is as important as art? LMAO
*math is more important than art
mexican Math is way more important than Art. Actually, without Math, Art would be a lot less evolved.
***** that's what i meant...
MK ULTRA SOLDIER II because math actually improves the world while graphic designers don't do shit to improve it
Here we go again underappreciating different fields of work...
Its pointless to show this to us, students...we will always talk shit about school system( whatever/wherever it is) because we have to go to schools etc. Show this to other ppl, teachers and others, to ppl whose entire life they had so far isnt just going to school. Students complain about school no matter how good or bad it is.
This guy is great at pointing out the flaws in stuff, yet never seems to put forward any kinds of solutions to them.
Jack Hodges he did point out Finland's education system though...we could learn loads from them
The point being that there needs to be more than just recognition of the problem to get it solved.
Andy Schwarzenbach Ⓥ exactly
"They are the lowest paying job." So teachers make $7.25? Ok.
Aerity I think she means as a job that so important to the world
Aerity and also you have to get a type of degree
L
John Sabp I wasn't talking to you boi, I was taking about Aerity comment
And that my friends is why I am homeschooled, and why people need to stop shaming homeschoolers for being "different" or "socially awkward nerds". Because we are obviously doing something right vs the public school system.
true
The reason why phones and cars have developed from a hundred years ago is because classrooms stayed the same from a hundred years ago.
What about Steve jobs? He invented the modern day iPhones, did he need school? No because it broke his ideas for creating new technology so he dropped out and became a millionaire
Schools need to prioritize math and science education. In fact there should be a greater focus on these subjects, while also teaching students critical thinking. To propel a nation into the future, you need as many top tier scientific minds as possible. You also need a well informed society that thinks critically.
danglezbenderz Then you're forcing people to be come technicians and scientists.
danglezbenderz Are you talking about countries like Japan, South Korea, and China? Countries that have some of the highest student suicide rates in the world?
I recommend reading Chapter 8 of Gladwell's Outliers for a deeper look at the whole "Asians are better at math" statement. I agree with the need for critical thinking, but what I'm saying is that math and science is now ALL we do.
I definitely agree with the need for classes more focused on real-life needs, though.
Dr. Bright Math and science and especially computing now is very useful and therefore should be taught a lot. But no one is being forced to do that.
+minielephant - Both Japan and South Korea have the top school systems in the world. Why aren't we comparing ourselves to them?
Do teachers react to the school system
