I’m 22 and I’m doing this right now. It’s been difficult but I’ve really enjoyed it

I learned in 1962 that college is just big business.

RECENTLY IT CAME TO LIGHT THAT CRUDE CELL PHONE TECH WAS AVAILABLE DURING WW2 AND FM RADIO WAS AVAILABLE FOR DECADES BEFORE ITS INTRODUCTION AS TOO MANY OF THE GOOD OLD BOYS WOULD HAVE LOST HEIR SHIRTS HAD IT BEEN INTRODUCED !!! I AM SURE THIS IS THEY STORY WITH MANY THINGS AND EVEN MORE PENDING !!!!

@@janebook294 Take your finger off the caps lock and go check out Adam Ruins Everything, if you're unfamiliar. It has lots of information about such topics, and it's very entertaining and upbeat to watch. You may enjoy!

Yes

*an i assume u failed

KospiriT lmao a single mistake doesn’t make you fail.

Don't judge people

Siera Steil, I am an English teacher. I used to teach using films. Oh, the thought provoking discussion that would ensue, leading to research and writing assignments were amazing, as well as further reading. Both the students and I enjoyed our learning experiences until I was forbidden to teach. Now, script, drill and kill are the trends. Nationwide! 😢

@Kevdawg Sutton III% Pro Gun-Rights Activist sarcasm.🙃 Teaching was replaced by test prep (drilling).

I suggest continue watching it, and there is an important turning point at the end.

WRONG. We learn better when we are having fun. We are much more effective at work when we are having fun. The 1950s called. They want your mentality back.

It's been a couple years. Are you a teacher now

✨

Modus Operandi i

Going to a southern research university, I experienced this alllll the time. It's a shame it's not normalized

Victim of too many steterotypes of poorly educated Southern accenters.

Your world view is extreemly flawed if you think that a southern accent equates to a lack of intelligence. And quite arrogant too since you feel that your accent is superior.

Joe T or maybe they just haven’t met or seen in media a well spoken southern person

Jay Lichty She was my teacher! And she was fabulous!

Completely agree, this is a cute story, kids would love it, but the reality out there is another issue 😅

Hello Tracy, our high school principal and administrators are very supportive and gave teachers the freedom to go beyond the issued state text books. Plus, I had some great teacher role modes when I was in school and during my own teaching. Plus, by being super transparent by putting my curriculum online for students and parents, it kept me on my toes, held me accountable. Plus, students and parents often had the best advice for engaging lessons.

Going beyond is all about choices and freedom to explore, just like learning is. HM....this is a great example and I wish all schools could see this. Great job. Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring nugget!

And it would be more doable if the states regulations and law makers update the dated curriculum and get rid of standardized tests which cost tons of money. Give more opportunities to be creative within the curriculum rather than parallel extra school programs. The changes have to start at the top of the education system instead of blaming teachers for not being passionate and creative,

Spotlight?

Thank you

T Hirano no they are not.

The sad part is that they probably are

True educators cost money, which is currently being thrown at the bureaucratic administrative 9 to 3 sector in most districts. Unless teachers start being paid even as little as 50% of the 6-figure salaries that the talking heads who "manage people" are being paid, education will not change for the better. I just quit teaching and am making 70% of what I earned as a year 8 teacher with triple majors on unemployment. So sad!

Hey Josh. If you're still in school, you could offer to help your teachers with creative ideas. In fact, I asked my students to evaluate my English lesson plans before and during the "lessons." And if we all decided my approach was weak, we pivoted right then and there. I'd stop and take a better solution or idea from students. I let them find texts, videos, material to use--but of course, we censored it for school use. You can encourage and support your teachers. Lots of them will appreciate it!

Warhorse Solutions I've finished high school and I can't really afford collage at the moment, so I'm working two jobs until I have some money saved up. I'm also not really sure if collage is the right choice for me. There will always be people who say that everyone should go to college, but there's more collage graduates than jobs for those graduates right now, and I don't want to go into debt without a garenteed payout at the end.

Yes, you are smart to not go into debt without a payout. You can gain lots of real world experience working; keep learning about your interests, and technical school or community college can offer a easier way to explore learning. If you discover you need a 4 year degree to attain your career goals, or you discover loads of money to enable to you live the "dorm college life," then ok. But you're right that many degrees don't prepare students for available jobs and they have big debt. I hope you find your passion, so be on the lookout for "work" that stirs your soul.

well landscaping and working at a machine shop aren't exactly my dream jobs, but at least i'm not going into debt. anyways, thanks for this talk, i appreciate it. have a nice day.

You can go to another country where studying is not that expensive.

Do it, it's the best thing I ever did.

was looking for someone to "rite" that down :) xD

and Republicanism

"Riting" is spelt in Englesh "riding". Ima colledge gradueit.

stop stop, youz guys are all rong!

What about Rocial Rudies or Ristory?

Don't forget to apply that to... yourself. You're a part of the physical universe, too. Just... IMAGINE... the possibilities. Remember, and this is where you're just going to have to believe me (I know), the first part of my comment, it's experiential. Find the center, find your heart.

MusicVault101 yeah, but X amount of McD’s times 5 and that is a lot though

@@FrankDad but if you do the math. That's what, one to two thousand Vehicles per day, per MacDaddy, for an average of three minutes of idle time? (To be fair, I am guesstimating. So, I may be off by a couple hundred percent, one way or the other.) But when you account for it being only five gallons, per week, at seven to fourteen thousand Vehicles idling for an average of three minutes? It seems to me, you could save a lot more fuel, just by reducing the idle time of drive-through customers.

Thanks for the info, Brian. When I got a copy of the Wachowski Brothers' screenplay, it indicated they were the original authors. I did not know about Sophia Stewart suing the Wachowski Brothers, Joel Silver, and Warner Brothers. Thank you for the alert and I have researched the case and hoping to find out more through continued research. I found the LA Times 2005 article by Kemp Powers, that "Her lawsuit claimed that the lucrative "Matrix" and "Terminator" film franchises were based on her ideas." Hollywood has a voracious appetite for home runs, and I hope if Sophia Steward did indeed provide the ideas for the movies, she gets compensation and credit.

@@tawana7480 waw.

You have a good point on missing why I quit teaching...I need to finish the story. I taught high school and college English for 15 years and was isolated from the real, changing world, while I was teaching Shakespeare, literature, grammar, and how to score higher on state exams and SAT tests. During this time, the world changed a lot, and I was not really understanding the "new" and evolving world that my students would face when they left my classroom. So when my biofuel and green chemistry project developed into a potential company, I quit teaching, I left it to see what my students' after-high-school and after-college-lives would encounter. I wanted to really understand what they would face--certain uncertainty, potential failure, new challenges, money issues, career choices... So I quit teaching, left a paycheck and health insurance behind at the age of 49 and jumped into their 21st century world. The first $5,000 I spent to start my company, I hired several of my former high school students to help me with graphic design work. I wanted to hire local students to demonstrate how talented young people are, regardless of age. I've continued to network with former students, and even had to pitch my WARHORSE products to them as they are managers and company owners themselves. Now, 4 1/2 years later, I've been immersed in a "world" that students will encounter--how to move forward at school, how to start a new business from the ground up and with no established network or a formal chemisty degree to support ag science exploration. I am self taught in the green chemistry field. I think when I go back in the classroom, I will be a much stronger teacher--all because I chose to take the leap from my safe classroom into the unknown--just like my highschool and college students had to do. Thanks for your point, as it reminds me the best part of my teaching journey has yet to be documented. I speak at my former highschool and at several universities, mosty to the bioufel and biomass energy classes and business classes, sharing my journey from teacher to struggling entrepreneur, which started at in my classroom and highschool. And, some of my former students are waiting to hear my journey to "failure" and what I have learned for the next stage of my journey.

Rissa maybe she didn’t know

And more places need to start doing it too

Yes, if you have an interest in those or if it's related to your field. We definitely need a variety of subjects but how much becomes overwhelming and irrelevant?

Thank you for the comment, Tonya. Since leaving the classroom and jumping into starting WARHORSE, I think I could be a better teacher now. While my little company may not survive--I do think I have a much better understanding of the "world" that high school and college students encounter. If I list the "skills" that students need--from my experience of staring a company and rubbing elbows in the world of entrepreneurship and biz... Have a work ethic Take responsibility for your mistakes Don't whine Take initiative to learn on your own Be honest Over the past 4 years of trying to grow a company, I do think this is true. These skills and character traits set students and people apart, and make them valuable.

Aww. Your company is a great idea! Crossing my fingers that it survives. Students must be able to set themselves apart from the pack. Those who do more to understand the real world, will fare better in the long run.

Thank you for the crossed fingers. But it's ok if my little company doesn't make it...just like in the classroom, knowledge comes from failure. I get to "fail"just like students should have the opportunity to fail, regroup, dig in again. Best to you.

THEOFILOS CHALDEZOS A B787?...I wasn't sure, but it certainly isn't that old triple-engine 727... and she calls herself a dedicated educator? Dedicated to what?...mis-information?, errors? did she do the research?, what other things did she get wrong?....how can our young people get their accurate info when our teachers can't even get it right?

I questioned this before I started making it. NC is one the few states where "An individual who produces biodiesel for use in that individual's private passenger vehicle is exempt from the state motor fuel excise tax. "(Reference North Carolina General Statutes 105-449.88)

Tawana Weicker Oh okay! That’s what I was thinking about but didn’t know what states allowed it and what law made it so! Thank you :)
