A quote this reminds me of is: “Your children may forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel”

The problem is you can't get a job based on how you felt in third grade.

@@glennwatson3313 While you won't list "felt happy in third grade" on your resume, the emotions and experiences from that time play a pivotal role in shaping the person you become. They influence your ability to learn, develop essential skills, and succeed in both personal and professional realms. Therefore, paying attention to how students feel at every stage of their education is crucial for their long-term success.

@@glennwatson3313 I agree that learning is not all about what kids 'feel' like doing however, research is now telling us that learning is not just cognition. Emotions are inherently linked to and influence cognitive skills such as attention, memory, executive function, decision-making, critical thinking, problem-solving and regulation, all of which play a key role in learning.

@@LalaBlackwood The sort of emotions you are referring to come from a variety of sources, not just the teacher. Of course this is also true about the subject matter. A student can get facts and understandings from a variety of sources like books, KZread and each other. I have been a student and I have been a teacher. As a student, if I had to chose between a teacher who knew the material and a teacher who cared about me the choice would be easy. Of course it would be great to have teachers who are both caring and knowledgeable. Some teachers do have both qualities in abundance, but that is rare. My larger point is that the search for caring teachers is displacing the search for expertise in subject matter. I have a masters in history but for much of my career I have been asked to teach subjects like economics, government, debate and recently geography. My level of caring has not changed but it takes a lot of time and work to learn these new subjects well enough to teach them at a high level. Without that work all the caring in the world won't really help my students.

@@teachwithyourheart I agree that how students feel is important. But what students learn is more important, especially from the perspective of teachers who job it is too teach. The amount of time teachers have with students is finite. Spending more time on feelings means less time on knowledge acquisition. We can't have everything. While the wealthy and middle class might get away with letting their kid's teachers spend more time on feelings this is not true for students living in poverty. In order to grow out of poverty these students need smarter teachers far more than they need caring teachers. Of course it goes without saying it would be nice to have both but like I said, we can't have everything.

This was incredible. Thank you so much for this sir.

Brilliant talk, well done.

The explanation from "Gregory Chahrozian" about the pivotal role a teacher can play in a student's life was truly impressive.

I went to TEDxAUA 2024 today. It was truly amazing

Brillant.. nothing less

Let's always do alot of good ❤️

❤❤❤❤

What kind of teacher? A kind teacher. Love is the answer. What is the question? Education Revolution? Focus on the single most important lesson in life? Learn unconditional love for all life? A simple method: Sing *HU* daily. Search how and why to sing *HU* .

@@nicolec1598 I have been teaching for almost thirty years. Believe me when I say that SOME teachers are experts but its not because of the specialized training. The truth his the quality of teachers has been going down for years. ACT scores for teachers are the lowest among the professions. The teaching profession rarely gets the best women anymore due to increased opportunities for women in the economy. Education rarely ever got the best men. All you have to do to become a teacher is get a four year degree and a teacher certification. The certification is a joke. The degree might or might not be useful. But no matter what, the teacher is going to learn how to teach on the job. It will take years to be good. Expert level might never come. If we want better teachers we will have to provide them with free quality education after they are hired.

A teacher who can't love his students and inspire in them a love for learning is nothing more than a robot dishing out facts. The teachers who loved me and showed me compassion are the ones who left an imprint in my being. The ones you prefer.....I cannot even remember their names 30+ years later. Some experts they were!!!!
