Walter Plinge It seems to be getting worse because while the skills people need in their daily life are changing, most public school curriculums aren't.
Public Schools need more funding! not private. and now Trump is cutting 13% or 9,200,000,000 away from funding and giving 1,000,000,000 to vouchers which have shown to not work.
It makes me angry because, like he said, a lot of kids don't have internet access at home, yet teachers will give assignments that need to use internet as homework 😒
my secondary school was shit riddled with gang violence and corruption from both staff and students dont know how i got away with 3 C grade GCSEs and 1 C grade IGCSE
You do know the difference between a GCSE and an IGCSE right? One applies in Britain for the most part the other applies globally plus I want to see you get chase around and bullied by thugs and be able to revise
I was glad when I graduated from school, hated it. The only useful thing I learned there was english (it's not my native language), I fell in love with it and now I watch youtube in english so I don't forget it :)
Norma i can speak 3 languages Indonesia-nasional language Javanese(NO, NOT JAPANESE)- areal/native language English-language my mom taught me since i was 3
As someone who was held back in 11th grade I know that *frustrating* feeling as I wasn't even able to comprehend it It's more like you're just locked in a prison
There you go, you were actually vindicated by this video! And thank you for not being one of the whiny little brats who think school itself is, like, SOOOO hard. You had a legitimate reason to feel like you were "locked in a prison"! The real world will eat those others alive in one millisecond.
I was 17 in 10th grade and was failing because they switched to block scheduling so we saw our teacher every other day. My learning delay or whatever I had made it super hard for me. I went from making A and Bs to some Cs in 9th grade to mostly Ds and Fs in 10 grade. I cannot tell you how many times I cried. So I just dropped out and finally got my GED at 19 and entered college when I was 20. Schools dont like to help those who are struggling. Or when I was in school they didnt.
Bri Conderoga Yeah. One thing that annoys me is that they give real world situations. But those real world problems; NO PERSON WOULD EVER DO IN THE REAL WORLD.
ShyB123 "Billy has 12 cars and gives c amount of cars to Willy. If he has 3 cars left how many cars did he give to Willy?" Billy... Solve it yourself, it's your problem that you can't do simple math....
My guidance counselor in HS told me that the number one predictor for boys dropping out was, "They bought a car." Suddenly they had to license it, pay for fuel and repairs and get insurance. At that point they needed to have an after-school job... Once they have a job, they don't feel the need to stay in school and drop out to work more. Unfortunately, not having a diploma really does hurt you badly in the workforce.
wow I remember kids eating crayons lol. awesome way to start my day cup of Mike i meant coffee lol. .. I appreciate all of who make this channel what it is . good morning yall from Oklahoma ❤❤❤❤❤
I want to make the video, I just keep getting distracted. LoL I'm kidding. I have severe ADHD myself and I love this idea. I am gonna pitch it to the team now. ~Mike
I'm homeschooled because every morning I would have a panic attack before school, because of how the world is, I have panic attacks when I am in a public space for too long, or the place is crowded.
If you want to learn how to set up a business (period), do the work necessary to graduate from high school and go to college (university), where you can major in business and learn everything you need to know about setting up and running a business.
I had #8, a fear of school. It had to do with both separation anxiety and bullying at school, although I did get good grades. This completely changed once I got into college. By then I outgrew the anxiety of being away from my parents and I no longer worried about what my peers thought. So anyone that has this problem...you can get past it!
Holding kids back makes it harder for them to get ahead academically? So, for example, if a fifth grader is failing at his/her subjects we should push them forward and expect them to do well in sixth grade? Fuck that. If they couldn't understand the criteria they need help to make sure they actually get it before moving on. They don't need to be forced into learning things that are harder for them to comprehend.
In my middle school, the year is 180 days (all in the county) from September 7 (I think) to June 16-19 (depending on make up days), the day is 6.35 hours from 8:00 am to 2:35 pm, Christmas vacation is 2 weeks and April Vacation is 1 week
Where I live, Thanksgiving break is 4 days, Christmas break is 2 weeks, Winter break is 1 week, Spring break is 1 week, Memorial day break is 5 days, and summer vacation is 2½ months, And my school year is also 180 days.
Aye I'm a Chinese student and is currently studying in Hong Kong let me correct you 1. Holy shit we hate hw 2. If they caught u with tobacco in ur bag or anything... u are up to big trouble....
You MUST learn Albert Einstien's favorite color, food, ice cream, beer, vodka company, vodka brand, sex stuff, ect! Why? Well, McDonalds won't let you flip burgers or mop a floor if ya don't!

Raised in foster care i can attest to the fact moving too much messed up the ability to retain the Info. 13 elementary schools messed me up permanently due to the fact that each class and school was on a different level or placement in the lessons. Math was the worst.
I enjoyed the video, as I do all the videos I've seen from this channel, but I found myself wanting a little more. For instance, how short *was* the shortest school year? When did it end and begin? There were a few facts that were kind of mentioned but blown by that I feel could have been unpacked a little bit more. When I was 12 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (chronic pain, so when something should hurt some, it hurts a lot, when it shouldn't hurt, it still hurts some, like my nervous system is over dramatic), and by the time I was 16 I wasn't able to go to school physically at all. For a few years I went half days or every other day. I was homebound, which meant a teacher from the school came to my house (the school gave them extra money to) and spent at most 3 hours a week with me. I learned Spanish from a teacher who had never learned it (she had learned French) and math from someone who was even worse than I was at it. Homebound is mostly used when a student is really sick and expected to bounce back, like pneumonia or being in the hospital needing a surgery or something. No one had been on homebound for all of high school and managed to graduate on time in my state until I managed (just barely, if I'd had one incomplete, I'd have had to be a fifth year student), and no one has since. To put a long story short, teachers teaching subjects they care or at least know a lot about and actually being in school is so important. The sense of structure you get, the sense of belonging of being in a peer group, learning how to navigate various social problems with others, they're all needed to transition to adulthood. If I could have been here, I would have benefitted. While being in school when I was able was difficult for me (not just the physical toll, but the ribbing people gave me about how I was sooo lucky to be sick, or because I was probably just faking to get out of going), there is a lot people learn in school that has nothing to do with the lesson plans. It may suck, and it may be broken, but the school system is there for a reason.
In school, I had problems. in seventh grade, I could barely spell simple words like "December" or "because" Then I dropped out and I went from what? like a 3rd grade reading level to an 8th grade reading level with in a few months. I got a better understanding of the world and I learned empathy. Something I wouldn't have learned in school due to how arrogant, disrespectful and bigoted the other kids were. So I'm a better person because I stopped going to school. If you're young, and reading this, don't decide to drop out just based off my comment. I'm one person, so just because things work out for me doesn't mean doing what I did will work out for you. I don't want to be the reason someones life got ruined. Just sharing my experience.
all of my worst teachers had tenure.....last year my physical science teacher had tenure and she was the worst teacher ever. one of my friends was in the lower of the 3 physical science levels and she learned 10x more than me....and now im gonna be screwed in chemistry next year
Most teachers are not like that. They teach because they like it. Otherwise they wouldnt put up with politics, kids with "attitudes", long hours (they do school prep at home, many hours), etc.
Renea2k Most public schools are free, you only have to pay for supplies. Even then you can reuse binders, folders, unused papers, etc. from previous years.
In uk we dont have school buses its your own business how you get to school also we have a week of school every month and 2 weeks of for every holiday (E.g xmas or easter)
In my town in Australia there were school buses. They weren't yellow. They were just the normal town buses. You could also catch regular town buses. I usually walked being close enough or sometime rode my bike. Some students were chauffeured by their parents and some drove their own cars. That was in the 70s so I don't know what the situation is now.
PUBLIC SCHOOL IS NOT FREE!! LOOK AT WHERE YOUR TAXES GO SOMETIME!! THIS IDEA DRIVES ME NUTS! Even if you don't have kids you are paying someone else's tuition.
Common Core is the worst thing that ever happened to education in the US. I've had several students that I just taught the old way (ancient Greek old way) and they've asked me "Why didn't they just teach us this in the first place?"
SENPAI a good chunk of it will go to school board members and staff benefits like at my school the teachers can't afford paper but they just bought a 3k coffee maker off school budget
For my younger sister she always hated being away from our parents and cried when needing to go to school, I was always the opposite of that completely, I’m always like bye
It has been my observation that since the book came out "Why Johnny can't Read" many people have tried to improve education. The results are more medaling then help. One of the problems are here Children need to learn how to study and have a good place to do it. Often the child does not get the support at home. Teachers do not get the support they need. The high rate of teachers leaving the system is for this reason. If a teacher sends a child out of the class the then the teacher feels that that student is the problem or that he is making it worse. A school is not a place for agendas it is a place for learning. Elementary is called elementary for a reason, it is basic.
For me I’ve always started school in the beginning of August and ends in the end of May, I only ended school June 1st or 2nd one time because when I went to a school in Texas there was a flood which I missed a week of school and was in school 1 day later
I could read and write when I was three and a half. When I started school aged five, I was equal to a ten year old in knowledge. When I was at Secondary school [age 11-16], I did no homework, and if I was bored, I went fishing. I passed every exam I took. I detested school - most of the things I learnt, I did so from my own books. I hope the teachers of today are more knowledgeable than some of the ones I had. The expression 'Phoning It In' wasn't about in the 1970's, but that's exactly what a lot of my teachers were doing. Some days, I got home having acquired no new knowledge at all. School is important, but a lot of stuff they teach has no relevance or use in real life. Hands-on Woodworking, Engineering, and Metalworking lessons should be brought back - and soon.
Most of the basic knowledge I need for my college specialty in biology was taught in high school and the same for other specialties. It's often the case when a student enrolls a school for gifted students and there's a lot more to learn for students taking part in competitions and Olympiads. In Vietnam, what we have to learn is scientific knowledge but most students have little chances to actually do experiments on science. In addition, it's common for countries like China, Japan or Vietnam to give students a huge amount of homework. I used to have up to a total of 50 exercises in the textbook and workbook and for a single math lesson, and most of them are repetitive, not to mention weekly additional worksheets.
School's back then weren't funded by the government. They were funded by the community so therefore they had much better funding and much better curriculums.
Types of public high schools you can attend in my country: - normal block schedule (8 courses, 4 1.5hr courses per semester) - traditional schedule (4 year long core courses and 4 semester long electives) - Early college: 5 years of Highschool, receives 2 yrs of college education - STEM early college: same as early college but at NC State and has slightly altered courses and requirements - Magnet: Same as traditional schedule but has a lot more classes. (It has differential equations!) - Flex: emphasis on online courses where you can take them at any time, designed for kids training to he proffessional athletes, dancers, singers, actors...
Here's one you don't know: as a janitor, if you piss us off with making unnecessary messes, We will take the toilet bowl brush and wipe it on your desks and drinking fountains at night. You'll never know and can't stop us lmao.
I teach chem in China right now. The homework is so true!!! I feel so bad for the students. But the schools discourage students from smoking (at least around Nanjing and shanghai.)
I taught for 40 yrs - loved it. But When things started to get "quirky", I said that when we (teachers) had to show kids that 2 moms or 2 dads was "good and approved".....I would (in good conscience) have to quit. I resigned ...not having any idea how much worse things would evolve in next few years. Good thing. My big mouth would have got me fired!!!
Heard about a teacher posting a message to parent about teacher being *expected* by parent to buy the supplies. That is just entitled parenting as she said that the kids would come in with shoes and smartphones that were more than a weeks pays for a teacher. Maybe, hat should be looked at. If a kid comes in with a $200.00 smartphone and *new* designer clothes and complain that they can't afford some small schools supplies, the schools should offer the parents JOBS so they can afford them. Oh, I know to well that it's hard for some parents to get the simple things (Growing up, the kids in my family were allowed 1- 3 new set of school clothe and 5 dollar shoes from a cardboard box in the grocery store). But I think parents need to remember, the teacher may also have kids.
I'm from South Africa and our school year runs from 13 January to December 10 in high school. Our school fees cost R24 000 a year and keep going up up UP. what about your country?
Ren Kunn us. Required by law. Technically free but it comes from taxes and you buy your own supplies. Usually runs from second week of August to the start of June next year.
I'm from Texas but attended Catholic schools all the way from age 4 (pre-k) to 18 (12th grade/senior year of high school). From ages 4 - 14 (8th grade), I attended a grade school with a tuition which was, from 1983 - 1993, approximately $4,000 - $5,000 a year, notwithstanding the cost of uniforms. From ages 14 (9th grade/freshman year of high school) - 18 (aforementioned), I attended a high school with a tuition which was, from 1993 - 1997 (yes, I am this old), about $8,000 a year on average, again not counting the cost of uniforms. Our school schedule was pretty much what Katherine Richardson stated, though -- "usually runs from second week of August to the start of June next year", though we typically started our school years about a week earlier than the local public schools did, mainly to make up for the added time we got off for things such as Easter (public schools got Good Friday off but we also got Easter Monday off). Also, all local schools had the benefit of a special local holiday called the Battle of Flowers Day, named after the Friday parade that is the focal point of the local ten-day Fiesta celebrations. BTW, I have a really good friend who's originally from South Africa; I should ask her what the tuition fees were like at her schools.
It's absolutely disgusting that US government won't take responsibility for the cost of school supplies! Teachers shouldn't have to be paying their hard earned money to supply the school. They're public schools, so no teachers or parents should have to take the burden of the cost for school supplies. This is shocking for a so-called "developed" country! I expect this in rural villages in developing countries, not the US!
As a high school Sophomore in the U.S. I spend more than 3 hours or equivalent doing homework. It's called "get up, suck it up, and deal with it." That's how cruel I am. And I have no problem with it.
Great video! The failure in math in the US is the pushing of that stupid Common Core Math crap; my niece, who've I had to teach long division in the 4th grade, is dealing with that now. She's in 6th grade now, and thankfully, she still uses long division. I timed her once on a multiplication problem which she did the good old way and it took her 1.2 minutes; after she was done, I asked her to do the same problem in CC. It took her almost 4 minutes. How is CC better? Love your channel!
(1) The US has never truly respected the profession of teaching. It is an art and a science. (2) There are ~48 programs that claim "anyone can teach". Most of these programs "train" people in 2 to 3 weeks. There is NO WAY to gain 6 YEARS (Bachelor's & Master's degrees) worth of pedagogical and psychological information in 2 - 3 weeks. (3) Most of those alternately trained teachers are placed as math "teachers", since that is where the need is. Most of these folk do not truly understand how math works. BTW - I am a high school math teacher with 20 yrs experience and love it!

school and education needs so much improvement, it just seems to be getting worse
Walter Plinge It seems to be getting worse because while the skills people need in their daily life are changing, most public school curriculums aren't.
that's so true. many curriculums are so outdated
Walter Plinge do you have any qualifications to say that?
Public Schools need more funding! not private. and now Trump is cutting 13% or 9,200,000,000 away from funding and giving 1,000,000,000 to vouchers which have shown to not work.
Vincenator 117 my state spends 250million a year on vouchers for private schools for about 34k kids, my tax money shouldnt go to private schools
why do they give homework during breaks, it's called a break for a reason
Because it's a break from scool, not a break from homework.
Floweys face describes this perfectly.
No it's a break in general. So no school, noo fucking work !!
You don't have to do the homework. Study for your SATs boi, get into Standford.
Red Death What are SATs, are they like GCSE's
It makes me angry because, like he said, a lot of kids don't have internet access at home, yet teachers will give assignments that need to use internet as homework 😒
If you are that poor there is a government program for it. You basically need internet in this age to function normally in society
Corona hit and all these kids are SOL.
Every vegan just threw out their childrens crayons
Reel Dirtie lmao
26: Its horrible. Thank fuck I'm done with it now.
27: The toilets are poorly maintained, have piss on the floor and constantly stink.
Heisenberg 28 : every school has at least one women with a slight moustache
AJCEntertainment Lol
29: Half the shit we were taught are as fucking pointless as a circle.
my secondary school was shit riddled with gang violence and corruption from both staff and students dont know how i got away with 3 C grade GCSEs and 1 C grade IGCSE
samuel the kitnix 3 cs. my nan could do that and shes ded
You do know the difference between a GCSE and an IGCSE right? One applies in Britain for the most part the other applies globally plus I want to see you get chase around and bullied by thugs and be able to revise
Common core dip the math grades
Dean spanos true.
I was glad when I graduated from school, hated it. The only useful thing I learned there was english (it's not my native language), I fell in love with it and now I watch youtube in english so I don't forget it :)
Norma believe me or not but I share the same story :)
Norma that's great to hear. What is your native language?
+cat luva My native language is Italian but I'm bilingual from the age of 3 and I consider Lithuanian as my second native language.
Norma the highest score i have and my favorite subject English (not my native language too)
Norma i can speak 3 languages
Indonesia-nasional language
Javanese(NO, NOT JAPANESE)- areal/native language
English-language my mom taught me since i was 3
The reason for math rates dropping: COMMON CORE MATH! Common core basic curriculum is 1+1= Purple because elephants are colorblind.
My orchestra teacher is retiring this year and teached *OVER 35 YEARS!!!* I think she loved her job more than any other teachers I knew.
two of my teachers are retiring. Not sure how much they loved their jobs but i'm fairly certain both of them have taught over 30 years.
Things I have notice right now in my school
Putting work online actually makes us more lazy
As someone who was held back in 11th grade
I know that *frustrating* feeling as I wasn't even able to comprehend it
It's more like you're just locked in a prison

I got expelled two months before graduation... Good times.
The reason we suck at math, is because they make us hate it by doing pretty much everything hated about school in the span of a single hour...
Bri Conderoga Yeah. One thing that annoys me is that they give real world situations. But those real world problems; NO PERSON WOULD EVER DO IN THE REAL WORLD.
Bri Conderoga my teachers manage to make us hate it in 45 mins... XD

OH MY GOD AMERICANS HAVE SUCH LONG SUMMER HOLIDAYS, MY SCHOOL IN ENGLAND ONLY GIVES US SIX WEEKS!!
Lizzie Goodall that's a crime
Lizzie Goodall My school gives 8 weeks
Lizzie Goodall dude,we legit get 3-4 weeks why are you complaining?😂🤦🏾♀️
Lizzie Goodall Ireland is 3 months as well
Lizzie Goodall my school gives 3 months of summer breaks but little break during the school year
My guidance counselor in HS told me that the number one predictor for boys dropping out was, "They bought a car."

Whoa, did everything just taste blue for a minute?
Pat Eldridge to funny
How about, "25 Movies You Should NEVER Watch"?
I really don’t know why list25 videos are so addicting. I watch one and end up watching ten
you should do 25 things about ADHD we don't know.
Diego Recio YES *PLEASE* do it
I want to make the video, I just keep getting distracted. LoL I'm kidding. I have severe ADHD myself and I love this idea. I am gonna pitch it to the team now. ~Mike
list25 my mom has 4 boys and all my brothers have it but me
list25 omg yes make a list on this
Fact: Just because you can't focus, it dosen't mean you have ADHD.
I can't be the only one who has never seen an eraser with a blue end
Phil Meng yeah! that is so what it feels like!
and what it is.
I've never seen one either
Phil Meng I never saw one eather.
I haven't seen one either
Mike why did you not mention anything about school bullying? and how it affects the educational system in the schools?
We did an entire list about it th-cam.com/video/IgSp6SRTzpI/w-d-xo.html ~Mike
thanks
I'm homeschooled because every morning I would have a panic attack before school, because of how the world is, I have panic attacks when I am in a public space for too long, or the place is crowded.
They teach u how an atom works put not how to set up a successful business
Arsh Marar true
Yeah, but some of us actually use that information. I moved on to become a nuclear plant operator. Now I split atoms for a living.
If you want to learn how to set up a business (period), do the work necessary to graduate from high school and go to college (university), where you can major in business and learn everything you need to know about setting up and running a business.
I had #8, a fear of school. It had to do with both separation anxiety and bullying at school, although I did get good grades. This completely changed once I got into college.

As annoying as it may be, it really pays to do your best, after all it can decide on your entire future...
In my part of the US, school last from August to May.
Aye I'm a Chinese student and is currently studying in Hong Kong let me correct you
1. Holy shit we hate hw
2. If they caught u with tobacco in ur bag or anything... u are up to big trouble....
Zoya Shek number 1. Who even likes homework?? Everyone hates it
Number 2. If anybody at school was caught with tobacco, they would be in big trouble
But guess what does the video say lol
Zoya Shek yeah I know I just watched the whole video, sorry
I see my teachers more then i see my parents 😭 can’t even remember what they look like right now p.s FINALLY SOMEONE SAID GRAPHITE NOT LEAD
26: Everything you learn doesn't matter, and a lot of it is not even true.
Yeah, even though you would look like a fucking idiot without it.
You MUST learn Albert Einstien's favorite color, food, ice cream, beer, vodka company, vodka brand, sex stuff, ect!
Why?
Well, McDonalds won't let you flip burgers or mop a floor if ya don't!
Like what
XXXCLOUTATION true it seems.
For no. 24, sometimes teachers are left with no choice but to resign, especially after being given an unsatisfactory rating. This rating puts them at risk of losing their jobs. Student performance also plays a role on teacher ratings but there are teachers who do really try their best to educate their students.
For no. 19, I couldn't fully read until I learned Braille in the 4th grade. I'm about to graduate from university now.
I suspect if a Chinese kid complained about getting too much homework, they'd probably be arrested for criticizing the government :(
They're usually quite happy to study because of the Gaokao exam system for streaming into university, the toughest exams in the world. The university in China you go to is more important in your career than your scholastic merit at that university in securing a good job. So Chinese students are happy to cram and burn the mid night oil for the very important Gaokao exam.
Charles E Leggat LMAO. They wouldn't but that's hilarious
I hope that hot teacher doesn't quit
Grasshopper????..?
the teachers resign due to babysitting issues
Alonzo68 Patton I think it's due to ths pressure parents place on them.
Alonzo68 Patton i think it is because they are done with the students
plus the paygrade is not as good as it should be.
It's because we have to do entirety too much work at home and I know for myself I don't get a break from my students.
I never gave a teacher an Apple🍎 it is not common in my country
.... we give them cake in our country🍰
Kirsten Ali we never gave them anything in my county
Kirsten Ali well in old days before me some kids that REALLY likes their teacher would give flowers or APPLES
Kirsten Ali the cake is a lie
how? we do it in my country im from d Caribbean (Trinidad) but we did it in my primary school and we also have flowers.🌹
Kirsten Ali the cake is the biggest lie.
Raised in foster care i can attest to the fact moving too much messed up the ability to retain the Info. 13 elementary schools messed me up permanently due to the fact that each class and school was on a different level or placement in the lessons. Math was the worst.

Great Video Thanks
I still have a month left of school and I have already missed a month and maybe more. This has happened since 6th grade but I won't be dropping out
Seth Higgins dude it's just an average not a predictin
Unless you're missing that much school for medical reasons or because you and your family are homeless, yes, you probably will be dropping out.
I enjoyed the video, as I do all the videos I've seen from this channel, but I found myself wanting a little more. For instance, how short *was* the shortest school year? When did it end and begin? There were a few facts that were kind of mentioned but blown by that I feel could have been unpacked a little bit more. When I was 12 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (chronic pain, so when something should hurt some, it hurts a lot, when it shouldn't hurt, it still hurts some, like my nervous system is over dramatic), and by the time I was 16 I wasn't able to go to school physically at all. For a few years I went half days or every other day. I was homebound, which meant a teacher from the school came to my house (the school gave them extra money to) and spent at most 3 hours a week with me. I learned Spanish from a teacher who had never learned it (she had learned French) and math from someone who was even worse than I was at it. Homebound is mostly used when a student is really sick and expected to bounce back, like pneumonia or being in the hospital needing a surgery or something. No one had been on homebound for all of high school and managed to graduate on time in my state until I managed (just barely, if I'd had one incomplete, I'd have had to be a fifth year student), and no one has since.
To put a long story short, teachers teaching subjects they care or at least know a lot about and actually being in school is so important. The sense of structure you get, the sense of belonging of being in a peer group, learning how to navigate various social problems with others, they're all needed to transition to adulthood. If I could have been here, I would have benefitted. While being in school when I was able was difficult for me (not just the physical toll, but the ribbing people gave me about how I was sooo lucky to be sick, or because I was probably just faking to get out of going), there is a lot people learn in school that has nothing to do with the lesson plans. It may suck, and it may be broken, but the school system is there for a reason.
In school, I had problems. in seventh grade, I could barely spell simple words like "December" or "because" Then I dropped out and I went from what? like a 3rd grade reading level to an 8th grade reading level with in a few months. I got a better understanding of the world and I learned empathy. Something I wouldn't have learned in school due to how arrogant, disrespectful and bigoted the other kids were. So I'm a better person because I stopped going to school. If you're young, and reading this, don't decide to drop out just based off my comment. I'm one person, so just because things work out for me doesn't mean doing what I did will work out for you. I don't want to be the reason someones life got ruined. Just sharing my experience.
Been watching your videos! I'm about to subscribe good Job men!
#26. Teachers can do whatever they damn please as long as they have tenure
all of my worst teachers had tenure.....last year my physical science teacher had tenure and she was the worst teacher ever. one of my friends was in the lower of the 3 physical science levels and she learned 10x more than me....and now im gonna be screwed in chemistry next year
Actually that's far from true in most places. In quite a few places teachers can be fired without any explanation.
Most teachers are not like that. They teach because they like it. Otherwise they wouldnt put up with politics, kids with "attitudes", long hours (they do school prep at home, many hours), etc.
i just had to pay 300 in school fees for one kid this year in the US,. not free..
Renea2k thats not to bad still sucks though should be free especially because you are forced to go until a certain age.
Renea2k Most public schools are free, you only have to pay for supplies. Even then you can reuse binders, folders, unused papers, etc. from previous years.
they are not free at all its called taxes....
That's different, you're not directly paying the school, your taxes also go to more than just the school
Renea2k my parents pay 10,000+ every year for my school fees
21 is not a surprise, and if we want _better_ math rankings, we should ask the advice of countries that consistently rank _better._

Deadshot: You're not bulletproof.
I held my kid back in 1st grade. And it worked out awesomely. Thank you very much.
Ohh I forgot to mention. That she is almost 18 and is going to graduate on time. And she gets good grades. So there. ✌️
In uk we dont have school buses
its your own business how you get to school
also we have a week of school every month and 2 weeks of for every holiday (E.g xmas or easter)
Kacper slezak are you stupid?
Kacper slezak we do have school buses at least in London
Joe Kerr - oh crap I dint know, Im from castleford near leeds
In my town in Australia there were school buses. They weren't yellow. They were just the normal town buses. You could also catch regular town buses. I usually walked being close enough or sometime rode my bike. Some students were chauffeured by their parents and some drove their own cars. That was in the 70s so I don't know what the situation is now.

Honestly, what's the point of private schools?
Money making.
AJ Velez rich kids
AJ Velez one thing in America is that private schools don't do common core
I'm English and I spend 3 hours every school night on homework, and 5 hours at the weekend
well there go crayola sells in india ....
You're awesome Mike. :)
In Greece 3 hours I studying at home is nothing
PUBLIC SCHOOL IS NOT FREE!! LOOK AT WHERE YOUR TAXES GO SOMETIME!! THIS IDEA DRIVES ME NUTS! Even if you don't have kids you are paying someone else's tuition.
I feel sorry 4 d kids who puts crayon in their mouths
Common Core is the worst thing that ever happened to education in the US. I've had several students that I just taught the old way (ancient Greek old way) and they've asked me "Why didn't they just teach us this in the first place?"
#Schoolsneedmoremoney
Okay, just pay lots more on taxes and we can have those benefits
:D
SENPAI a good chunk of it will go to school board members and staff benefits like at my school the teachers can't afford paper but they just bought a 3k coffee maker off school budget
Nick Pearce That's so true, that's why we can't go to the teachers' lounge, so we don't see and report their horrors :O
For my younger sister she always hated being away from our parents and cried when needing to go to school, I was always the opposite of that completely, I’m always like bye
thats why I didn't go to the school
Oliver Mc'Geoghegan ya.... but I think its too late now.... :(
+Inzamam Ulhaque The founder of Wendy's,despite being a senior,returned to graduate high school.
Daniell Bondad Yea but this guy is not a senior like Wendy's founder lol.
In Upstate NY, back to school shopping starts in May/June.
this early
I only miss one full day of school, 3 tops and leave early around 2 times.
It has been my observation that since the book came out "Why Johnny can't Read" many people have tried to improve education. The results are more medaling then help. One of the problems are here Children need to learn how to study and have a good place to do it. Often the child does not get the support at home. Teachers do not get the support they need. The high rate of teachers leaving the system is for this reason. If a teacher sends a child out of the class the then the teacher feels that that student is the problem or that he is making it worse. A school is not a place for agendas it is a place for learning. Elementary is called elementary for a reason, it is basic.
For me I’ve always started school in the beginning of August and ends in the end of May, I only ended school June 1st or 2nd one time because when I went to a school in Texas there was a flood which I missed a week of school and was in school 1 day later
Nice Video! Loved it!
I could read and write when I was three and a half. When I started school aged five, I was equal to a ten year old in knowledge. When I was at Secondary school [age 11-16], I did no homework, and if I was bored, I went fishing. I passed every exam I took. I detested school - most of the things I learnt, I did so from my own books. I hope the teachers of today are more knowledgeable than some of the ones I had. The expression 'Phoning It In' wasn't about in the 1970's, but that's exactly what a lot of my teachers were doing. Some days, I got home having acquired no new knowledge at all. School is important, but a lot of stuff they teach has no relevance or use in real life. Hands-on Woodworking, Engineering, and Metalworking lessons should be brought back - and soon.
Most of the basic knowledge I need for my college specialty in biology was taught in high school and the same for other specialties. It's often the case when a student enrolls a school for gifted students and there's a lot more to learn for students taking part in competitions and Olympiads. In Vietnam, what we have to learn is scientific knowledge but most students have little chances to actually do experiments on science.
In addition, it's common for countries like China, Japan or Vietnam to give students a huge amount of homework. I used to have up to a total of 50 exercises in the textbook and workbook and for a single math lesson, and most of them are repetitive, not to mention weekly additional worksheets.
School's back then weren't funded by the government. They were funded by the community so therefore they had much better funding and much better curriculums.
I'm sick of college.
....population goes up, enrollment goes up!!! **what is that sound that Homer makes??**
Doe!!!
The reason for # 24 is because american teachers aren't treated or paid well.
SEPTEMBER? In Georgia we go back in July and get out in June!
Types of public high schools you can attend in my country:
- normal block schedule (8 courses, 4 1.5hr courses per semester)
- traditional schedule (4 year long core courses and 4 semester long electives)
- Early college: 5 years of Highschool, receives 2 yrs of college education
- STEM early college: same as early college but at NC State and has slightly altered courses and requirements
- Magnet: Same as traditional schedule but has a lot more classes. (It has differential equations!)
- Flex: emphasis on online courses where you can take them at any time, designed for kids training to he proffessional athletes, dancers, singers, actors...
Here's one you don't know: as a janitor, if you piss us off with making unnecessary messes, We will take the toilet bowl brush and wipe it on your desks and drinking fountains at night. You'll never know and can't stop us lmao.
SNIFF THAT CRAYON, HELL YEAH
I teach chem in China right now. The homework is so true!!! I feel so bad for the students. But the schools discourage students from smoking (at least around Nanjing and shanghai.)
I taught for 40 yrs - loved it. But When things started to get "quirky", I said that when we (teachers) had to show kids that 2 moms or 2 dads was "good and approved".....I would (in good conscience) have to quit. I resigned ...not having any idea how much worse things would evolve in next few years. Good thing. My big mouth would have got me fired!!!
Heard about a teacher posting a message to parent about teacher being *expected* by parent to buy the supplies. That is just entitled parenting as she said that the kids would come in with shoes and smartphones that were more than a weeks pays for a teacher. Maybe, hat should be looked at. If a kid comes in with a $200.00 smartphone and *new* designer clothes and complain that they can't afford some small schools supplies, the schools should offer the parents JOBS so they can afford them.
Oh, I know to well that it's hard for some parents to get the simple things (Growing up, the kids in my family were allowed 1- 3 new set of school clothe and 5 dollar shoes from a cardboard box in the grocery store). But I think parents need to remember, the teacher may also have kids.
When you said grasshopper. I immediately thought about snatching the pebble ... awesome.. I feel old. 🤓
Lmao I'm thinking he played shaolin shuffle when he said grasshopper like that
no more pencils, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks?
I'm from South Africa and our school year runs from 13 January to December 10 in high school. Our school fees cost R24 000 a year and keep going up up UP. what about your country?
Ren Kunn us. Required by law. Technically free but it comes from taxes and you buy your own supplies. Usually runs from second week of August to the start of June next year.
I'm from Texas but attended Catholic schools all the way from age 4 (pre-k) to 18 (12th grade/senior year of high school). From ages 4 - 14 (8th grade), I attended a grade school with a tuition which was, from 1983 - 1993, approximately $4,000 - $5,000 a year, notwithstanding the cost of uniforms. From ages 14 (9th grade/freshman year of high school) - 18 (aforementioned), I attended a high school with a tuition which was, from 1993 - 1997 (yes, I am this old), about $8,000 a year on average, again not counting the cost of uniforms. Our school schedule was pretty much what Katherine Richardson stated, though -- "usually runs from second week of August to the start of June next year", though we typically started our school years about a week earlier than the local public schools did, mainly to make up for the added time we got off for things such as Easter (public schools got Good Friday off but we also got Easter Monday off). Also, all local schools had the benefit of a special local holiday called the Battle of Flowers Day, named after the Friday parade that is the focal point of the local ten-day Fiesta celebrations. BTW, I have a really good friend who's originally from South Africa; I should ask her what the tuition fees were like at her schools.
It's absolutely disgusting that US government won't take responsibility for the cost of school supplies! Teachers shouldn't have to be paying their hard earned money to supply the school. They're public schools, so no teachers or parents should have to take the burden of the cost for school supplies. This is shocking for a so-called "developed" country! I expect this in rural villages in developing countries, not the US!
As a high school Sophomore in the U.S. I spend more than 3 hours or equivalent doing homework.
It's called "get up, suck it up, and deal with it." That's how cruel I am. And I have no problem with it.
Lol, education of a 1st grader in elementary school in Serbia is equivalent to Germany's 4th grade
Military brat here. Changed School at least 10 times
Great video! The failure in math in the US is the pushing of that stupid Common Core Math crap; my niece, who've I had to teach long division in the 4th grade, is dealing with that now. She's in 6th grade now, and thankfully, she still uses long division. I timed her once on a multiplication problem which she did the good old way and it took her 1.2 minutes; after she was done, I asked her to do the same problem in CC. It took her almost 4 minutes. How is CC better?
Love your channel!
7:20 Whenever he says "school," it sounds like the really old fashioned Minecraft sound of the character getting hurt.
One fact about school that's necessary to know.....it's a bullys paradise nothing more
Middle school teacher here. The math curriculum is horrible
Fact 14: Staying in school makes big rewards,
Uh, we all knew that
(1) The US has never truly respected the profession of teaching. It is an art and a science. (2) There are ~48 programs that claim "anyone can teach". Most of these programs "train" people in 2 to 3 weeks. There is NO WAY to gain 6 YEARS (Bachelor's & Master's degrees) worth of pedagogical and psychological information in 2 - 3 weeks. (3) Most of those alternately trained teachers are placed as math "teachers", since that is where the need is. Most of these folk do not truly understand how math works.
BTW - I am a high school math teacher with 20 yrs experience and love it!
