I have listened to this a few times now, but the message only makes to a
ReplyDeletecertain degree sense. "So you want to get a degree? Why?" Well, in the
modern world of the 21st century, if you want to work as an engineer,
scientist, doctor, be a professor etc, you need a degree. There is no way
around it. Airbus is not going to hire you as an engineer if all you got is
a high school diploma. Those "statistics" this guy mentioned, are not
statistics, but facts. There are a few people who have a clear business
plan and do become successful with it, without having got a degree. But
MANY, fail in life because they chose not to get a degree.
However, I don't disagree with everything he said. "Education is about
inspiring ones mind, not just filling their heads" This is true. Most
school systems fail on this one big time. You will not be taught to
understand the stuff you are learning. It is only to be filled in your head
and you know it is like that, but you don't know why.
A simple example: What is 3²? Now, we all know its 9 because we understand
the concept. We know that 3²=3x3. Now, lets pretend you are tutoring
someone who is learning this right now. If you tell him 3²=9, he will know
from now on its 9. But if he gets confronted with 3³ or 4², he will not
have a clue how to solve it, because he was never taught to understand
this. And this problem, applies with everything. Many probably know that
the derivative of f(x)=4x³+3x²-8 f'(x)=12x²+6x is, but how many can
actually tell me why this is?
"Memorizing equations facts and dates" Memorizing is the least helpful
thing you can do in order to educate yourself. How does memorizing
vocabulary help you learn a language? Not at all. You need to combine the
vocabulary with the grammar and literature of the language you are
learning. Learning vocabularies for a quiz is useless regarding education,
because you will forget them straight after the quiz. It's just like in
math. If you memorize the pattern to the solution, you're cool. But as soon
as something comes up that you don't expect, you're clueless.
This video is very misleading; it appeals to the few successful exceptions.
ReplyDeleteFor every Steve Jobs who dropped out, I can present you with ten-thousand
bums who dropped out too. Where do you think your chances lie? Allow me to
channel Tyler Durden: "We've all been raised on *sulibreezy's video* to
believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock
stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very,
very pissed off." School isn't what's stopping you from being a
millionaire.
I don't have problems with learning in school.. I only have problems with
ReplyDeleteTHE FREAKING ACADEMIC COMPETITION swirling around its vicinity... THE
FREAKING ACADEMIC PRESSURE... Sometimes, people judge you for your
grades... They befriend you because you're top 1 in your batch or something
like that. Some teachers believe that having straight A's and becoming the
valedictorian or salutatorian of your class define you for who you are...
That's the part that I hate about school... They don't teach us to outdo
ourselves... They teach us to outdo other people....
School does suck but u need to like education and bill gates went to
ReplyDeleteharvord
I love this! <3
ReplyDeleteSchool is there to OPPRESS you, and SHUT YOU UP, make you feel UNWELCOME,
ReplyDeleteto CONTROL and MANIPULATE and FORCE you into a regimented, emotionless,
robotic lifestyle ready for all types of national / military / religious
service. This is the first and foremost objective of school above anything
else.
1) Naming individuals by no means constitutes citing statistics.
ReplyDelete2) Being Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg is not a job. That is a unique
phenomenon that happens to a few individuals at certain points in history,
sometimes by luck.
3) One cannot prepare to be any of these people, only themselves.
4) Naming a few interesting facts that grabs people's attention is not
proof of a point.
5) People should learn to think for themselves. Emoting aloud publicly
for your own failures for other people to hear, and expecting them to take
action on that even though they were the result of your own shortcomings,
is unhelpful to people.
6) Go out and read an actual book by a respectable author. The narrator
does not sound like he's ever actually read anything, otherwise the message
would have been clear, and it would not have contradicted itself.
7) If you really believe the garbage he just recited, have a good point
for it other than liking how it sounds. KNowledge and truth is not always
self-serving.
The people who say that they hate school but love education are the people
ReplyDeletewho pretend to like education and think they are smart when the opposite is
true.
All the people who say that this guy is implying to not go to college and
ReplyDeleteto just drop out and all of that, I think are viewing it the wrong way. I
think he is just saying that education is wrong right now because students
are learning things that they do not want to or need to learn. If you want
to be a scientist, why don't schools help you focus on that? If you want to
be an engineer, why don't schools help you focus on that? Why don't schools
encourage people to follow their dreams? I think some classes are
necessary, but only up to a certain point. Writing is important, but if you
don't want to be a writer, why memorize some of the very advanced writing
techniques? Math is important, but why do you need to know how to do
equations that only a math teacher would use? Others are important to, but
if they are not important to you then why learn some of them to the max?
You named roughly 10 people who have become billionaires just by dropping
ReplyDeleteout of school/college and you call that statistics?! What about the
millions of dropouts that become homeless or the students with degrees that
become billionaires?? If you can prove to me that a dropout somehow has a
higher chance of being successful or becoming a billionaire than a educated
student, be my guest...
Without school you would fail in life almost all jobs need a degree, so if
ReplyDeleteyou think, " oh you don't need a degree ," well unless you have a great
idea to get billions then go ahead, but i hope you realise there is only
30,000 jobs available without a degree, so your chances are very slim to be
that exception. The truth is uni is a choice, if u want to go go, if you
have a business plan which you would like to take time to develop, than uni
might not be for you.
I can completely relate to this, I love to learn I have a huge interest in
ReplyDeleteexpanding my mind but, in school I don't do well. What they force me to
learn doesn't appeal to me.
THIS IS WHY I HATE SCHOOL BUT LOVE EDUCATION
ReplyDeleteMichael Jordan actually went to college at UNC.
ReplyDeleteThis video demotes academic practices and encourages crime as well as
ReplyDeletepromoting prison. I am not happy with it.
The system is completely and utterly broken, yet the ones with the power to
ReplyDeletefix it are doing absolutely nothing.
I'm still going to college. I just graduated from high school and I am
ReplyDeletecompletely lost on what I should do now. So college will keep me busy and
hopefully I will find something I enjoy and would like to pursue.
i used to love this but then i realized that while it is all well and good
ReplyDeletethat you wont let exam results decide your fate that wont change the fact
that people are not going to hirer you if you have a D average.
I wouldn't be allowed to do my job if I didn't have the degree...
ReplyDeleteAlso I like school. :-)
fun fact
ReplyDeleteparents believe that education is important, yet they have no degree or any
form of higher learning......
cool, now tell me a better way of ranking people based on intelligence so
ReplyDeletethe most talented people get the most important jobs. steve jobs, richard
branson are looking at statistics? they are all outliers, YOU are not steve
jobs or bill gates, face it, most of us need higher education to earn
money.
5 million people have watched this video and yet, we will go on living as
ReplyDeletewe have. When I finish typing this comment I will go back to studying for
my chemistry final in the morning, and the thousands if not millions who
have been inspired by this video, will wake up the next morning to rush to
class only to fall asleep in the corner. We know its wrong, but its the way
it is. We know nothing else and and as a result we know nothing.
School isn't even about learning anymore. It's just about trying to pass
ReplyDeleteSuch a true video, my dad had a GED because he was terrible at school. And
ReplyDeletenow look at him even though he died, selling his oil company years ago for
$7.2M. And even starting broke poor. As soon as I graduate in a few days I
will go to the Marine Corps and then start my own business when I am out.
If you want to be successful in the world, why make someone else rich with
a job instead of making yourself rich. Starting your own company is the key
to riches my friends.
