A sliding scale or schedule for raising or lowering taxes, wages, prices, automatically in accordance with fluctuations in economic conditions… Malthusianism… A + B Theorem… The mercantile system, that based on the old economic theory that money is wealth and that the object of trade is to export goods at highest price – our occuluding devolution.

????????????????????I was a French* teacher, an ELECTIVE teacher, and I had to “support” standardized English* tests! I’m certified to teach FRENCH, not English, yet I have to “support” ENGLISH?!? In several interviews for the FRENCH position, I was often asked the question, “How are you going to support the English standardized test?” I stopped teaching after 11 years of this nonsense. ????????♂️ We’re testing our kids to ☠️.

There was a day, not too long ago, that TED speakers were leaders in their fields.
Sadly, TED has devolved into a celebration of mediocrity. This talk is just the most recent example.
Unsubscribed.

As a continuation, I love it when what I do actually makes a positive impact on people rather than just making money for a profit-first company. And the sad part is, this is what most educational training is about. Becoming useful resources to corporates than being independent thinkers and doers.

Having been a fifth grade teacher, employing state ratified testing, I totally agree with the sentiments expressed here. It was very clear to us that the principle objective of the test was to be able to judge the performance of teachers not the educational outcome for the student. Although it is an expensive process, it’s way cheaper than professional in service assessments.

The problem begins with the assumption that the powers-that-be consider humanity’s children to be tomorrow’s leaders; it conflicts to harshly with their internalized version of reality that they’ll live forever and forever be in charge.
Our children got left behind by the very monsters who sold you the notion that they wouldn’t be.

7:50 I’m not even white but it’s obvious the people you need to know in history are those that formed your country and invented things you use day to day, and if they’re white, so? You don’t see asian countries complain about why their history class is mostly about asian historical figures

The purpose of standardizes tests isn’t to teach, but to test. Teaching is the teacher’s job. Putting knowledge to work isn’t “getting in the way” of learning, it’s applying it. Education needs to be re-tooled, yes – but from the bottom, not from the top. Stop using our kids as guinea pigs, creating entire generations that are illiterate and worse. Not everyone has the time to undo all of public education’s mistakes and teach their kid from the ground up. Stop seeding our kids with flawed mental models and institutionalized incompetence.

Most comments are about standardized testing.
More almost half of the video is about. Intersectional subversion if the US testing system.
History lessons do not build tinkerers or creators. Math, sciences and engineering do. And how are those racially biased?
Oh, but history lessens do inform activists.
