People hate when I say it, but it's true: If your classroom looks like the Pinterest board of a Ms. Rachel wannabe, it is distracting to the students. This is particularly true for the kids with ADHD. Treating your room as an outlet for your personal expression is a selfish and immature thing to do which actually has negative impact on your students.

a total joke to pretend you are defending a meritocratic status quo

The US is suffering brain drain to Europe and Asia because nobody wants to live in a country like this. Even if you were ambivalent, who would want to raise children in the US? In a world where you can get a passport and move, why would you raise your child to be a slave here?

MrBeast explains why the education system is completely broken “Why are students today being taught the same way their parents were? Look at how much everything else has advanced. When I was in school the teacher would just stand there, read out of a book and write on a whiteboard” "Now look at Mark Rober’s videos. You can learn complex topics in 20 minutes in a way that’s engaging, fun and you retain it. Just because our parents were taught one way doesn’t mean we need to keep teaching that same way. It makes no sense to me, I think education should be reformed dramatically” “Students spend so much time in school. If we had real courses made through videos, made learning more hands on and optimised everything with modern technology, kids could probably learn more in 5 hours than they currently do in 8 hours"

Hear me out: I’m convinced that INCREASING class sizes would actually improve education Why? How? Simple: Teacher quality is the single most important in-school factor Consider something radical: Double class sizes and you could cut the worst 50 percent of teachers Think “can hardly do middle school academics themselves” kind of teachers That also would allow SIGNIFICANTLY higher wages, drawing much higher quality candidates If schools actually have the stones to enforce discipline, there’s no reason a larger class would be more raucous. College lecture halls have hundreds of quiet students after all Only people this would really piss off are unions and low quality teachers. Well I say “stay mad” and improve schools regardless
