Very rarely do I come across something that I want to pass on to everyone I know! A dear friend of my husbands passed along this video and after I watched it, I wanted to call everyone I knew. This is especially amazing if you have kids in school or know kids growing up in the education system!
Just to give you a heads up, it’s a long one – 20 minutes – but it’s WAY worth it!!! Have your afternoon tea or take your afternoon break and WATCH THIS! Come one, when do I EVER advise you to sit on your butt and watch T.V 
Feel free to let me know your thoughts!

Very interesting… but I find it controversial as well.
In an ideal world he has merit, no doubt. But our world isn’t ideal and we do need to find some ways to keep children ruly and to think a school system could work effectively where students are graded merely on creativity is difficult – at best.
One point which I do agree with is the idea of “academic inflation”. I have read about a strong push for young adults to enter trade schools rather than colleges in pursuit of undergraduate degrees. These degrees are a dime-a-dozen and trade school students earn more money with less debt (with college prices on the rise).
ALSO, it’s easy to pinpoint one child who was given the opportunity to dance instead of being forced to listen in a classroom. But for each story like this one, there are thousands where the children were not disciplined and went on to drug use, poor careers, etc. I am not in favor of overmedicating but I am not in favor of children being allowed to run wild and entertain their whims at all costs either.
Anyhow, that’s my two cents. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks for sharing! I think that what’s so great about the video. It is controversial and it does bring up a lot of questions. Whether we agree with him or not- definitely get’s us thinking!
