1) Her approach is so refreshing. over the last 10-15 years, a sort of pessimistic public malaise has settled over the West like some sort of plague of learned helplessness. Everyday on TV, there is no shortage of pundits & politicians with dire predictions moaning about the problems with in society but offering any solutions. However, Hill's serious but undramatic framing of the Education issues is very motivating! After watching the video I felt encouraged that education reform is possible...we just have to do it! 2) Why the big rush to wrap up exactly on? What'd, they rent the room out for wedding reception!? lol
I am an American and I have to say our education system is horrible. The US Navy once again lowered their test standards because of the high failure rate. I talked to two exchange students and they said our system is a joke. I agree 100% with her!!
I feel an affinity with Fiona Hill. I too am from a working class Durham family and I too studied Russian at university. I have the greatest respect for her. And I'm actually quite pleased with myself. 😂
Brilliant. Really calling for a holistic approach and a demonstration of yes, there is such a thing as society and if we don’t recognise that there are consequences, likewise if we do, there are opportunities. It does call for a great generosity of spirit and willingness to persuade those with a vested interest in the status quo, that life chances and greater equality of opportunity benefits everyone.
My experience with German system is that it does not make it easy to return to school and explore new careers. It seems to be built from significant decisions made at young ages (4th grade decided which path you will follow) university age (trade school or university etc) but it’s not set up to evolve and change throughout life
As an American, I hope it’s not lost on anybody how an immigrant, who worked herself up from relatively humble means, became an expert, excellent enough to work in the White House, was pushed out by a spoiled, no-class, know-nothing president, who couldn’t find his own butt with two hands and a flashlight. In a perfect world, Hill would be in charge and someone like her former boss wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near the Oval office. Fiona Hill in pure class.
It’s seems that American university system is quite good but also has many facets that have nothing to do with academics: sports is an example. I wonder what would happen if they were stripped of all the extras and returned to bare bones with primarily professors and academics. It won’t happen, but might rescue the costs and provide education for jobs instead of the “experience of colllege” of course, the experience is a great thing but maybe it adds to the costs? I’m not expert on it
Absolutely great story teller! She is so relatable.
