Finland is still the gold standard. They have extremely few hours of education, and time spent at school. And at the same time the highest scores on the PISA test, in core subjects. Sweden was neck and neck with them, but then we got an influx of new people. In the form of refugees from US wars in the Middle East. Taking them in was of course the right thing to do, but having 1/6 of the population arrive in the country in a few years kind of screwed all our societal institutions over. Please educate your kids better, so that none of them enlist in the army.
Without having seen the video to completion,.. i would take a guess about how to keep teachers... 1. dont make the scapegoat for everything. 2. back them up when parents have their "my kids is godlike it cant do no wrong" phase instead of taking the parents side every single time. 3. put money into the infrastructure/classrooms for decent materials 4. pay your teachers a decent salary. thats just what comes to mind in the first minute of thinking about it.
Hiya ,some teachers in the UK have to do the same as your brother,buy teaching materials because the schools don't have the money to provide them, teachers sometimes provide sandwiches/food for children whose parents don't have the money to feed them breakfast,its awful for the children ,the children of today are being failed/short changed .The cost of Bailing out the banks in 2008 and the Covid pandemic is why money is in short supply ,liked the vlog good to hear how teachers are coping in USA ❤❤.
Finland has possibly THE world leading education system. A lot of Europe is still way, way, way more advanced in their education system than the USA and UK.
Hi, don't you see that bad education is part of the country's policy, like bad healthcare, workers rights, car centric transport. Those policies keep the citizens occupied and restraint. The top level of society controls the rest, like in the days before the French revolution.
I’m an academic here in the UK at a well known university . Unfortunately it’s also very normal for academics to spend their own money paying to attend research conferences, work travel and buying books etc.
@@thedutchhumanbut their freedom, how will they be able to protect themselves from errr ummm other people with guns because they will get them from someone :/
@@ChrisShelley-v2g Take everything away, and close the gun stores, or no more private sales....as I already indicated, why is it possible in Europe and NOT in the USA. It is in your head that you need a weapon, the less the better.
Hey, lots of things in common with the U.S. here in Italy! Politicians straight out lying, public school system going down the drain, and don't get me started on healthcare. Everything seems to hopelessly get worse.
Comapring Finland to the US is atrocious! Here in France the situation is not as bad as the US (Statistically), but FINLAND ?? is like saying how hot is the Sahara compared to the North Pole
For that upcoming election funny thing popped my mind. First name of Kamala Harris means horrible in finnish. I don´t support anyone over there but i still hope that the end result isn´t going to be horrible 😁.
The most utterly comedically absurd things you guys do is let teachers determine grades. Teachers have NO say in your grades in the UK. You do real tests set by education authorities and they're NEVER multiple choice. Multiple choice after we turn like 8 years old isn't a thing. Most tests are essay based. You're also sorted by ability, at 11 you take tests to get into grammar schools or just go to normal secondary. You can't just fall behind and have a teacher make up your grades or give you extra credit to pass. You also can't just pull your kids out or let them take time off or home educate them without oversight etc. Also i have never even see rhe police near a school, there was NO security, there was no real violence beyond fights, the concept of metal detectors and shit is baffling
Home ed is not allowed in the Netherlands either. It gives the parents way too much power. (Which is a good thing - unless your parents are abusive and insane)
Children are not a country's future! Some children are the future of a country, but it only needs a few leaders, the rest can be led. You don't think that the children of those who now lead the USA go to schools like the children of the average Joe. They have the opportunity to break out of the mainstream on AGT or as an athlete and then serve as an example that anyone can make it if they just try really really hard and work unpaid overtime with no benefits. You don't need a good education for this, on the contrary, the more stupid people are, the more they fall for this scam and pay to be indoctrinated and kept stupid.
Well, having a generally uneducated public is easier for the leaders of the country, this public can be controlled more easily. E.g. in my country (Poland) a political party was in charge for 8 years and they won the election mostly based on lies and propaganda. When you looked at the voting data, it was 90% of uneducated people who voted for them. And i had nothing to do with wealth. Simply people who had no basic grasp on economics, immigration, law or whatever and would believe everything that was fed to them. So in general a more educated general public is better for the country as a whole as the leaders do actually need a better and nuanced plan of repairing the country which isn't just a bunch of propaganda. You could say that educated children are the future in the sense that they need to be able to pick the correct representation.
yeah the US is not the only country screwing up teaching, well i should say Public schools teaching of course, France is doing a great job at that too, and faces the same kind of teachers shortage. Actually our just recently appointed gov, which includes some of the worst political scum you can imagine (and i can tell you that if you think US politicians are bad you really should take a look at ours, we are way ahead of the curve, examples below), had some representative argue it would be a solution to bring back retired teachers, as the standards of teachers qualifications had already been lowered beyond belief. President Macron's policies have been for the past 7 years to undermine public schools in favor of private ones, which are partially funded by the gov btw, claiming at the same time to defend public teaching with all his might. And in the previous gov he tried to put a private schools enthusiast as the head of the Teaching ministry, the kind of woman that was surprised to see students wear sneakers at school when visiting a public one, you get the picture. Eventually she had to be replaced within a week. Then "following the pandemic" they made France's dept completely explode, and we are now entering a new period of budget restrictions.. Btw here's another one for you on our great politicians, our former Economics minister, Bruno Le Maire, who still claims he saved France's economy during the pandemic, did find time to write and publish several sleazy novels while working hard on France's budget, and after being replaced found a teaching post at an economics business school in switzerland, that revealed he apparently did not meet the school expectations regarding his qualifications.
Aaaah, don't worry about self inflicted mandatory upload schedules. We, the viewers, just enjoy you guys pop up in our feed again 😁
Whenever you post, we watch. No worries.
American education is designed to teach the basics in order to supply the corporations with an unthinking workforce they can exploit.
How about children and teachers not being killed.

I struggle to understand why americans accept all of this 😮😮😮 It seems crazy to me 😮

I would love to have more native speaker English teachers in Germany 😉😉🤗(Tell your Brother!)
I wouldn't be surprised if there are proposals in the US to teach all students how to use weapons to make schools safer.
Brother there literally is, like literally. Republicans are that fucking stupid.
gun cabinet next to the US flag in every classroom 😉
Or change the gun law like in Europe...very strict. and weapons are unnecessary, we in Europe can do without them so it can also be done in the USA
