In this Special Ted Talk, Dr.Woodsmall, talks about the problems, with our current education systems,

and how we can make it better. Great Talk.

Here are some key points:

  • Schools kills creativity – by imposing predefined syllabus, and not encouraging
    the students, to seek other ways of consuming, learning and understand the content
  • Focus on content only –
  • Memorization focus –  meaning our job only, is to cram the content,
    rather than learning how to learn
  • Failure to show the students, how to take the information that they learned in class, and use in real life applications
  • The learning responsibility is on the student, not the teacher
  • And finally no emotional intelligence, so that you connect with other better, and understand the underlying reasons for certain behavior and responses
