i'm surprised with the amount of intelligent British people giving presentations at these ted talks, makes me slightly proud to be from this weird country.

Children who are home schooled are generally more creative. I'm not sure exactly why, but it may be due to the style of teaching.
Home education is also less expensive than public education, and if the internet and computers are utilized intelligently, has the potential to be vastly less expensive, and far better than the public type. And home education generally produces an adult who is more responsible and less prone to crime - making it even better for society.

Having been home schooled, I can see that home education is the future. Besides being better for the environment (no polluting buses slowing the traffic, thus causing even more pollution), it is better for future generations. Better grades are the norm for children who are home schooled. Why? Among other reasons, the ratio of students to teachers is more favorable, and parents know their child's learning style and can adapt the lessons to best suit their child.

One of the best talks I've ever heard on education.

He's right in all his ideas. Capitalism is built on efficiency which is built on optimization which is built on math. For me, I find it hard to think outside this ideal because I've been immersed in it. However, based on the world around me, I think it's safe to say that capitalism might not be the ideal solution to society since it is based so heavily on juicing humans until they are bone dry. New ideas come when apples meet oranges, not when apples meet apples. Society enforces the latter. |
