In this video Ted talk education they were questioning and discussion why kids drop out school before they graduate from high school and solution they can provide. John Legend who was hosting the show claims that every kid has a chance to a better life.
Rita Pierson, whose parent’s grand mothers are educators, claims that we know why kids drop out. She explains that teachers need to build relationship with the kids because "kids don't learn from people they don't like." She explains "teaching and learning should bring joy". Dr Ramsey a chemistry teacher claims the teachers need to have method to confuse students and make them question, they will be more interesting on they are doing. For instance he states that a boring lecture in a projector can make students lazy and not curious to want to more and better of the educator's message even though it can make life easier to the teacher. Bring curiosity and inquire can bring more meaning tool to learning. A student mentions that the texting system is also a serious problem to students and can be a cause to why kids drop out school. He also sees that education is dysfunctional. Dr Angela, a psychologist, urges that what we need is a much better understanding of students' learning from a psychological perspective. Her studies show her that those who greet, which can mean sticking with our future, passion and perseverance long term goal, are the one who graduate and continue school than the others who don't. She explains that "we need to be greedy about getting our kids greedier." A students who after having a child at a young decides to go back to school and gets and diploma because she doesn't want more than working minimum wage all her life. Bill Gates explains who invests a lot on education explains that we all need people who give us feedback. He claims that teacher's deserve better and all the places where kids do well, there are a system of helping teachers. He gives the example that weekly study group where teachers can observe and see progress and make changes. He affirms that we need to them the tool they need to act on their duty and also revise their salary so our children will have a better change to succeed. He believes that we much provide support they deserve. The founder of the Harlem children zone Geoffrey Canada asserts that the business, the approach they take didn't change even though they know it is not working. He says that we didn't do anything about it and that a lot of school should be close because they are working. He explains that we need to think about these kids the same way we consider science and safety of America because the real safety is to prepare kids to the future so they can take care of our nation. "The American dream has failed us all" says Malcolm London. A teacher from Los Angeles Pearl Arredondo discuss the fact that why kids don't focus in class. Giving her owns example on how she couldn't do her homework because of the way her dad was, she claims she needed a teacher who are there to make her wants to do more. She understands we all need some short of help to go far, we need support. She claims that teachers need freedom to teach how they feel without following (lesson 2...) like we all understand. Teachers should be able to choose to teach what really the kids need t know and need. Lately, author and educator ken Robinson discuss that we are naturally difference and diverse. We need to reduce the curriculum so kids can perform better. Children are natural learners and they progress better with a broad and diverse curriculum. He claims that teachers need to understand that. They also must understand learning because there is no teaching if there is no learning. Standard texting is not a bad thing but it should help unlike what we have now.
