Everybody in this class, today I am going to talk about the school system.
Do you realize how many kids relate to that fish? Swimming upstream in class never finding their gifts. Thinking they are stupid. Believing they are useless.
But the time has come, no more excuses.
I may present the evidence of my case, I will prove it.
Here’s a modern day phone, recognize it? Here’s a phone from 150 years ago. Big
difference right?
Here’s a car from today, and here’s a car from 150 years ago. Big difference right?
Well look at this…
Here’s a classroom of today and here’s a class we used 150 years ago.
In literally more than a century, nothing has changed.
Where one teacher stands in front of 20 kids, each one having different strengths, different needs, different gifts, different dream. And you teach the same thing the same way? That’s horrific!
Let’s be honest, teachers are important as much as doctors. Because a doctor can do heart surgery, and save the life of a kid. But a great teacher can reach the heart of that kid and allow him to truly live.
I don’t have much faith in school but I do have faith in people. And if we can customize healthcare, cars, and Facebook pages, then it is our duty to do the same for education. To upgrade it. Change it.
Do away with school spirit cause that’s useless. Unless we’re working to bring the spirit out of each and every student, that should be our task.
No more common core, instead. Let’s reach the core of every heart in every class. Sure math is important, but no more than art and dance
Let’s give every gift an equal chance. I know this sounds like a dream. But I’m sure we can do it.
