Alison Gopnik slams the concept of "parenting" in her _The Gardener and The Carpenter_; see the article at __fdrurl.com/gray__. "The root of the problem" is that parents _cannot stop_ "parenting" and teachers _cannot stop_ "teaching". John Holt, in his first book, was already writing about bad teachers in the 1950's. You definitely had bad teachers. You just don't know it. Like any supporter of the political means of doing things, you likely are judging the goodness of a teacher on everything _other_ than how much you actually learned their subject. People that respect others never use terms like "out of control kids", AFAICS, so there's also that - although I will grant that there _can_ be _such a thing_ as "out of control" kids, namely out of self-control, which is the only just control. And you don't need to "teach" social skills, of all things. To paraphrase John Holt in his first or second book, if we taught children social skills, they'd never learn them. So of course it's no surprise that products of schooling are so stunted for their age in terms of social skills; indeed, disfluency ("uh, uh, uh, like, like, uh...") is the number-one stereotype for people that have been stuck in schools for ten years or so.

Jimmy Leiper pay will increase because teachers pay a substantial portion of their salaries to union dues, only partly to finance pensions of retired teachers. It adds a huge component of administrative costs to the total cost of education. Even more so than other necessary services like policing. And while teachers do require negotiated contracts to make the hiring and employment more streamlined in most cases more money is spent on defending bad teachers who should be fired than on supporting good teachers in the classroom. School boards are another additional bureaucracy that does the same thing...increasing the cost of education without increasing the value of education.

By cutting their union fees, they will certainly get their 15% back but I don't see any type of guarentee that their pay will increase or that their jobs will be protected (good teachers, not only bad teachers) after massive tax cuts, like the recent one that was just made.

I know a guy who sent his kids to a charter school after some trouble at a regular school. Turned out that suddenly his kids got really smart. He seemed to think that the charter school just handed out good grades so they looked better than regular schools. True story.

The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution forbids the federal government to exercise powers that the Constitution doesn't delegate to the federal government. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Thus, the federal government has no authority to meddle in the educational system.

Yup

I agree with this lady.

Tripled educational spending? Someone didn't account for *inflation*. Someone needs to go back to skool

Rather, I realized that everyone out there with high grades- our top scientists- were failures. Everyone needs to admit that we've bull-shitted our way to this point in time. Academic excellence cannot be achieved by peer comparison. That is a fools path to mediocrity. The bar must be continually raised, and immediately, each time that the bar is met!!

Cut all public funding of education in America. Eliminate almost all regulations. Watch what happens.

I am conflicted on how to handle our schools. A part of me is very much for vouchers and school choice, but the other side of me ask how do all the kids get to these schools? We have our oldest going to a high school at the college and the school buses do not route there, so because we live a little rural he has to drive or we have drop and pick him up. Most parents would not be able to accommodate that kind of routine and would half to pay a shuttle service or something to and from school.

Those types calling someone a racist is generally a pretty good indicator that someone is _not_ a real racist. Meanwhile, that Women's March woman killed a guy, and what do we hear? Crickets.

If a teacher is hired by a private school. They can fire your ass if you do not perform. Try that with the teachers union. I dare you.

John I really enjoy your videos, they are both entertaining & educational. I do think you are incorrect about the extra spending & stagnant test scores though ( 3:02 ). Spending on education has largely followed inflation as can be seen in the graph.

I always found school was limited by it's system. A student could not learn what they wanted or go as far as they could.

I am directly observing my kids suffering from being taught the SOL and not even having a freaking textbook to reference! 5th grade students don't know times tables anymore, yet the new way of teaching math is so much better. I went to a very small, under funded private school and our classes were easily two years ahead of the public schools.

When I have kids they won't be going to public schools, even if I have to take a second job.

She bought the seat.

So it's the public school teachers union that hates her. That makes sense. It's a turf battle. It's not about the kids for the teachers union.

1. She's a fiery woman, I like how she refuses to back down, lots of respect to her. 2. I like how Stossel always asks the person the dumb questions you know the other side would bring up, just so no one can act like he didn't cover anything. Why can't Stossel get into government, I'd support that. But of course, he's libertarian and would probably feel wrong ever getting into it in the first place.

That security guard should have been able to get her in the building! Should’ve hired stone cold Steve Austin!

I think that it's a good thing that we're getting government out of education. With government, they can use force to take money from people (taxes), and create services in which the people don't get a choice in rather or not they want them. If anything, there's an incentive to control education, because that controls the minds of the masses. Did school ever felt like a factory and/or prison to you? Today's schooling philosophy originated in Prussia and was made with the intent of creating obedient workers and military personnel, not critical freethinkers. My playlist "Truth about school & education exposed" goes into this more deeply, & I should be linking an article below.
