I am a former US public school teacher and I now homeschool my three children. So much of this resonated with me and why we've chosen to educate as we do.
Thank you for this. I have been totally worried about 'sorting and grading' for many years as a teacher. But the biggest obstacle I come across are not only parents, but other teachers who have been brought up in this terrible system. I feel I am up against a brick wall. It is the biggest frustration of my professional life!
It's common to believe that a student's grade determines how strong they are in school, but this is not the case. Instead, a teacher's ability to help students develop as individuals and become the persons they are to themselves and others depends on how patiently they can be taught. When we punish our students, culture is an absolute necessity.
this is one THE GREATEST TedTalks out there.

Awesome talk. Thank you Mr Hammond.
My heart is smiling and my palms are clapping after listening to you. God bless you ❤️
Wonderful presentation. What an incredible speaker. A lot to think about.
Quite suprised to find out he and Richard Hammond are brothers
Just when you thought you knew it all, here's important refund information
He looks and sounds so much like his brother that I couldn't concentrate.
Perfect ❤️🥳🙂
Brilliant...
Really enjoyed watching this, hope your keeping well Andrew x
I hope he plays with his son more
Shoutout to Mr. Hammond our English teacher at Copthorne Prep XD
He’s my headmaster at school

Inspiring
Very fluffy. Talk took longer than what he expected the poor teacher to tell him about his son in 5 minutes.
Gotta agree. Quite fluffy
