    "There's no more powerful and example that we can set for young people in our homes than to sit with them and actively learn and show them that the process of learning is a gift and something to be cherished throughout life" Mark Thompson

    It's beyond my comprehension why this great video only has a couple thousand views. I found that video because I wanted to know what happend to me I was always considered the underperformer in school (a lot of negative emotion in school settings) but now it completely changed around. I know what matters to me and I am generally very openminded. So my learning experience is really incredible. I don't have to take notes anymore and can recall the key things of what I have read or listened to and connect it to previous knowledge because I am so emotionally ( in other words very excited) engaged. You can go a long way with clear clarity and curiousity/ emotional engagement. Thank you Sir

    It's weird how I landed in this video for the exact same reasons you did and thought the same about the view count. I did poorly in school and in 9th grade, everything changed, my suspicion is that a teacher was able to help me release anxiety through her teaching techniques, and from there everything changed just like you and now I teach at a college. Glad to find someone with the same experience I had.

    One of the main reason is simply YT's algorithm. This video doesn't have that much likes/comments, meaning it didn't have a sizeable feedback originally nor later in time and the amount of thumbs up/down and comments don't match the amount of views so it's a vacuum and it will be found by people who research something that matches the tags. I found it because I Know emotions impact our memory and our ability to learn so I was researching talks on that subject. This video just proves my point but do not responds to my question. I only commented to answer you, the cycle therefore continues. I hope you see what I mean?

    For info I had a terrible experience with school, it kept me extremely stressed, I never figured out how to manage my focus, do my homework. I didn't have positive experiences outside either, like this guy's daughter, so the few things I mastered in school were Highly dependent on if my teacher was a cool person or was positively reinforcing my personal abilities or basic knowledge or gamifying the experience, if any of this happened it made the class a little bit bearable and I could retain info. At home I would play video games, learning English came through that and little by little I actually retained the language because it was associated with something I already Enjoyed. It became obvious that school would never be a positive for me on the contrary of games. Now I 20 years later I learn that I have adhd. Can you believe that 🤔

    I really hope you're being honest (cause I'm cynical, no fault of your own.) Because I hope I can put it to use like you did.
