I know that the teachers feel me on this one. Kids need to stop memorizing and start DOING!

It’s such a big problem.
Some of these ADHD kids are actually really smart kids who realize that a lot of what they’re memorizing is worthless in the sense that they can’t use it to create value for themselves.
These kids are not inspired to memorize and regurgitate facts because they just don’t see the point, they end up with poor grades or even worse forget school all together.
There needs to be more of an emphasis on teaching kids the application of the information they’re acquiring so that they develop a quick and real understanding of how education adds value to their lives.
He said this 6 years ago! This is the truth
Agreed!!!
College is no different, is it? Even my Genetics professor has similar views as shown here. The whole "Walking Encyclopedia" thing is obsolete. It means nothing anymore. It's a matter of what we can DO. NOT a matter of memorization. I learned more from my previous job at Wal-Mart in the three years (2016-2019) than I learned in school.
I try to learn the facts of numerous thing on MY OWN TIME, because that is for ME. Not my job. You know?
I think school should be a place where we explore our interests without having to be graded on it..
being graded first of all is dumb.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
5 years later and nothing has changed
I love it when Gary vee talks about the educational system
School is a waste of time,energy and effort, money,anyways…..
In India we suffer a lot
I'm a teacher and I couldn't love this more.
Yo Gary. Shout out for hitting the weights. Looking back at this video and comparing it to now, it shows how much you’ve come to value a healthy life style. Thanks for this video!!
If one does not hold vast tracts of information in one's head all at once, one cannot find the connections and draw the conclusions that such a vast wealth of knowledge affords. Only being able to look up a few names and dates will not make one intelligent or effective. Human beings cannot use their reason in a vacuum. They must reason from propositions, and the more points of contact one has with the world around them, the greater the power of deduction.
There is a strange irony in criticizing learned knowledge. Those who have attained to such a degree of knowledge understand its power and would not criticize it; those who criticize are the one's who cannot see — they criticize what they cannot understand, they criticize because they do not understand.
