  1. You are absolutely right fridae guzman I need to take some English classes
    although I wish have the time..I work 60 to 70 hours a week and the only
    free time left for me am making love to yor mom

  2. Modern Schools do not teach a person how to learn …

    People have been coddled so long and so hard, that any criticism to the
    idea, causes them an emotional reaction, rather than a logical one. They
    see the constructive critique of a concept, as a personal attack on the
    individual or the authority figure …

  3. This lecture was extrodinary.. one of the reason I left my teaching career
    was due to the box that they put you in. Having to teach the latest method,
    only to produce a factory result. It was to much, I think all principals
    and superintendents should see this. While you have some power in the
    classroom as a teacher, the ones who could make differences are the top of
    the tier. Unfortunatly often times when you are at the bottom of the
    tier, when you resist, you get fired…smh. Something is wrong with that
    picture. Amaing.. Seth. Thanks for shaing TEDxYouth

  4. An amazing address on the critical conversation about “what is education
    for” in our advancing society.

    Hat Tip, +Chris Carpinello for bringing it to my attention. 

  5. “Fitting in is a short term strategy that takes you nowhere. Standing out
    is long term strategy that takes guts and produces results” :)

  6. “School was invented to create a constant stream of compliant factory
    workers to the growing businesses of the 1900s.”… #TED #education 

  7. “Do we teach kids in school to collect the dots, or connect the dots?” – A
    brilliant hit-the-nail-on-its-head talk about why education needs to be
    meaningful.

    This is something I always felt during my engineering, but Seth Godin
    expresses it point-blank. All running after marks and grades and
    recitations, with little regard for what we gained out of it.

    Education in India is rotten. Engineering education more so.

  8. One thing Godin needs to bring up is the fact that the state or government
    is the problem. He needs to mention the fact we are being indoctrinated by
    the state to become compliant tax slave and except the use of violence by
    the state to rule over us. The state is the reason for the atrocious
    quality of education and he needs to mention the free market is the
    solution. Not only does the state steal our dreams it steals our
    productivity.
