Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ikkarus87 says : I would move to britain also just to have my child enroll there>> <<@jhall33pd says : This woman is a blessing to us all! What an amazing person! It’s so refreshing to watch a conversation between two imminently sensible individuals.>> <<@GypsyDownUnder says : Ps I love her outfit 😊>> <<@GypsyDownUnder says : I’m a teacher in a low decile remote part of Australia. The children at my school are from low income families and many are from Dysfunctional single parents with addiction problems. I am very strict. I demand silence when discussion time is over and it is writing/ working time. I have kids lining up for my classes before the bell goes and children asking me when I will be teaching them next. Discipline works and they respect and feel safe in my presence. This incredibly strong women is 100% right in what she is saying.>> <<@germling9596 says : My old neighbor was a teacher in socialist east Germany, she sounds exactly like her. Modern, American leftism has NOTHING in common with "real-existing socialism", it's just another liberal offshoot. Anti-authoritarian education and all this nonsense never caught on East of the iron curtain. They straight up sent kids to jail just for skipping school. They also taught kids to fire guns in school, but never had a single school shooting. So blame modern leftism, but don't blame socialism, there's a lot to learn when it comes to education.>> <<@siyazalabe5488 says : Wow, I am impressed.>> <<@samahalkhatib6010 says : As an educator I believe that we need to reach the balance between knowledge and skill, between how to think and what to know. This can be achieved by teaching the knowledge and information through specific pedagogy that would enhance their skills. We can’t go to one of the extremes, not to traditional teaching, nor to give students open limitless choices. Even when students are taught how to choose , it has to be given within a limited range, so they feel they had the choice when they actually had to choose between the right things only. This has to go on till they are mature and responsible enough to take the right decision in life.>> <<@Nick-p6p1m says : Late here. I don’t know anything about education, really. But, this woman has really opened my eyes very quickly.>> <<@letsstartahomestead says : Love 99% of it but as the wife of a pilot who went into a flight simulator with as much confidence as she has about flying being easy, it is not 🤣🤣 it does actually require a lot of skill and attention especially helicopters>> <<@rebekahsclassycanines says : I have 6 children from ages 8-22. I totally agree with everything she is saying about choices and children. I have taught my children for example how to dress appropriately for the occasion. Iv heard other mothers at church say “ oh I let Lucy pick out her own clothes”. Well Lucy then chooses her Halloween costume that happens to be a pink unicorn☺️. I’m sorry but the child looked ridiculous, also wearing shoes too large for her and then tripping all over herself just walking to Sunday school. Hair not even brushed and the mother watches her with pride as she’s sitting with the other children. My daughter usually asks why she’s dressed that way because it actually makes the other children feel uncomfortable and the teacher’s. It’s extremely distracting and I have actually felt sorry for the girl. My daughter has a closet of about 6 church dresses and her school clothing. I show her what goes together and what doesn’t. She often chooses what she wants to wear with in those limits. The result is that she’s always dressed appropriately for each occasion and she’s never confused or embarrassed. As my children get older I have pretty much no say over what colors they put together but honestly all of them know how to dress because they have been taught at a young age lol.>> <<@biggdawg0211 says : The invisible shield is a great way to put it. I actually thanked my parents recently because I recently realized how much I was protecting from as a child/teen, even though at the time, i thought I didn't appreciate it until I realized what some other kids around me were exposed to.>> <<@femsplainer says : Her definition of what to think is fallacious. She's talking about teaching knowledge, which is fine, but the discussion of What to think is more of a discussion of how to morally interpret facts and frame them in progressive ideologies (or even conservative ones in some cases) as a form of propaganda. For example, I remember being taught that the "Robber Barons" were bad bad people who created monopolies and exploited people and the great and powerful central government came in and broke them up and saved the day. Well when I did my own research many years later, it turns out that the case was no where near as black and white as all that. The government was responsible for creating the Robber Barons by giving the railroad's excessive rights and duties and money to build the transcontinental railroad. In fact virtually ALL monopolies are created as a side effect of government power for regulation in the private sector. So the Robber Barons were created by the government, but when they got a little too uppity the government broke them up and claimed all their accomplishments for themselves in effect. If I had been taught HOW to think, and was not force fed propaganda disguised as fact, then I would have learned a great deal more in my schooling and wouldn't have taken so long to open my eyes to the tyranny of the left.>> <<@belvia816 says : Ironic that the side that touted, “It takes a village,”is the same side that has worked to pretty much destroy the village entirely.>> <<@MiddlePath007 says : No. No, no, No. She thinks kids don't need to learn how to think, but instead be taught lots of knowledge to build off of. No. Kids need to be able to discern what is a lie. They need to understand that they should look at the entire picture instead of what's presented to them. Maybe not a little kid, but as they start trusting other people more than teachers and parents, they need to understand why something is a crap idea. Her stance is idealistic and imagines that nobody is ever going to lie to the kids. She is teaching kids to blindly trust authorities. That's sick>> <<@sample479 says : If you think you can do everything and solve everything for someone for 18 years and they will magically have agency, preference and leadership you are fucking high...>> <<@OfficialpKIndustries says : British. Not white. Pick one.>> <<@Jessicad9304 says : Wow she is incredibly smart and impressive. I’ve had so many of the same thoughts regarding kids and structure but couldn’t articulate them as well. I’m jealous my kids can’t attend her school.>> <<@kareybarey13 says : Oh my god, i'm fifty-seven, and I wanna be born again so I can go to school with this lady as my teacher!!!❤❤❤>> <<@anonymousanonymous1859 says : I literally stopped listening to Jordan Peterson because he had been making a complete fool of himself in this area, acting as though he had (rigorous) research informed opinions in this area when he doesn’t. While I don’t 100% agree with Katharine, I have so much respect for her. She has had an incredible impact on education. Katharine has pointed out so many of the key flaws in what Jordan, Elon and many others were saying>> <<@jjhh8425 says : No wonder the UK has the Prime Minister they do. If the UK is filled with those idiots she described, then the UK got what they deserved. But somehow, I don't think it's true, I think they just let the money people pay for the protestors, just like the protestors from BLM in USA.>> <<@margiedenavarre7919 says : This woman motivates me to push my shoulders back and take a more serious tone of voice with my students, not out of disapproval or meanness, but out of respect for their future!>> <<@candicecain5560 says : She reminds me of Aunt Lydia in Handmaids Tale>> <<@dazayit says : That is exactley why different cultures can not work. She is spot on.>> <<@martinjnagy says : Hoping she discusses the issue we're having in the UK where taking the kids put of school mid term for a family holiday is being treated as abuse>> <<@princessmay9921 says : Look at their body language...heads held high...then compare that with the "angry" body language of many kids in London's state schools.>> <<@hughbatchelor8599 says : She is an outstanding formidable and wonderful woman. May God Bless her abundantly in her beautiful mission to educate kids properly.>> <<@jasonbarnes961 says : i like her>> <<@TheMatman. says : I'm just here to find the triggered pilots 😅>> <<@nelus7276 says : I don't believe for one instant that the population of that school is unselected. Parents apply for that school specifically because they want to do what's best for their children, they're able to judge what has to be done and they're willing to make sacrifices to do it. Those parents are without a doubt above average in both intelligence and conscientiousness, both of which are heritable and both of which will improve guidance and support at home. Not saying that explains it all but it would sure be interesting to see how this school would perform with a truly random selection of students and parents.>> <<@nelus7276 says : I'm white middle class and I don't understand why people (apparently) like me don't want their children to be in a school like this. The only reason I can come up with is that there are two very different groups of white middle class people in the city and out in the country.>> <<@frev9460 says : Imma say it… the UK has a better education system than the US!!>> <<@angelrafaellanc says : I'm only halfway through the interview and I had to Google her and subscribe to her socials. I've been a teaching artist for the last 15 years mostly in the inner city of Philadelphia. What she said about white people coming into the inner city and trying to dictate how we teach our kids is a very real thing. It's probably the first time I've ever audibly screamed "yes" while listening to a podcast. SHE GETS IT! Thank you Jordan for sharing this wonderful human being. Inner city education is a labor of love and incredibly difficult. It's not easy to find mentors and people to look up to in this field that are actually doing the work that I think would be effective to the inner city kids that I teach. Thank you thank you thank you!!>> <<@Bibs123 says : When we try to have high standards and hold students accountable, we are lambasted by parents. There aren't many of us teachers in the US that do have high standards, and most schools have bought into low expectations and catering to children. It's demoralizing and disappointing to be a teacher in America. Our schools are failing, and our parents are failing even more. We aren't even meeting a 1/3 of our potential. Shame on the adults in America.>> <<@Vixpervenit-m8l says : 49:39 “when we were growing up it was all great”..then what changed in all western countries?..from wwll parasites took over the establishments and impoverished us to build their camps of the saints>> <<@nandinighosh4864 says : This is how education in India and China in the good schools there take place and the students progress well have much better results than students in the so-called Western countries like in the UK and of course in America. And that is why these International students from China and India and other regions of Asia come to America and the UK for higher education and do much better results and also better research.>> <<@LaNellDelgado says : Bravo Katharine!>> <<@ultralordkefka4681 says : Why was discipling your children, labeled abuse and illegal? I was punished not abused, if I acted wrongly I was corrected. Because i was a child.>> <<@ernestot1317 says : Amazing thoughts for the new generation, and for all those teachers in high school as well.>> <<@rebeccawoodcock7039 says : So the angry whites were MARXIST WOKE. Because white British want those standard I grew up in school with those standards until the neoliberal left took over….>> <<@susanhenry4625 says : This is what schools in the U.S. need!! It makes so much sense.>> <<@cpu7558 says : Hypothetical question: if someone has a histamine problem, they may have a hard time digesting either tuna or cheese, so what would be the solution to that? Are parents informed beforehand about the available choices of diet?>> <<@cpu7558 says : Well, going back through history, we find that the majority of people NEVER have been told how to think out-of-the-box (challenge status-quo, be innovative) which is what the progress of our Western civilization actually rested upon, as some broke out of the framework that was imposed upon them. Which is necessary as she noted but just up to a certain point and to SOME DEGREE, and for that degree there is no one-size-fits-all-lean-back solution, in any way. The world changes constantly, and people need to learn that keeping pace is the number one priority. Rationally assessing, evaluating and integrating new information is key here. Otherwise, how would anyone build a well-established opinion? There is no "it's just like that" for anything that can reasonably be challenged which basically is anything we stumble upon that does not rely on basic scientific axioms. Those should be tested and challenged as well but certainly not everyday and not necessarily by everyone. I am fully aware that this is kind of idealistic but the ideal the world currently is striving toward is quite the opposite. Current culture accepts to avoid arguing coherently, telling the truth or even applying the most basic logic if criticizing someone. Maybe students should be shown those incidents as well, as examples how NOT to do it.>> <<@TruthTealler says : I have been working in a kindergarden for around 8 years and have studied for 5 years. And up here in the north we face the same problem every day. The kids are fuckt. He have to give them deplomacy options for allmost everything. And they get to make thier own decision at home all day. So they wont listen to the adults. I kind of want to work for this Lady. Because i feel like this solution will work Wonders on our modern western kids.>> <<@dennismiller2694 says : Her parents have to be elated with their reflection of who they are as represented by this beautiful woman.>> <<@bomackin says : Yes, you tell the names of what they see, and you draw out of children actually seeing and saying what they see.... As facts. But you already guide them towards discovering known facts for themselves as much as is reasonably possible. You don't ask for creative writing before they know what creative writing comes from: which means, ideas..... Which they need to learn through books and discussions more than mere experiences, where they are supposed to celebrate opinions. (Foolishness, that). Pendulum needs to swing back just a tad, please. Charlotte Mason was right about all that, and she successfully taught poor children in England, with people upset about it. .... Their eyes are open, but their sense is shut. - Shakespeare That skill is a reward itself. That's why the boy scouts were inspired by a Charlotte Mason governess, quite literally. Yes, scouts had merit badges instead of grades. In grades, merit badges are not as needed.... Glad your children are thriving anyway, but I suggest you reconsider reading CM again.....>> <<@peace-b8c says : This was how most of us were raised, which is now considered traumatizing or depressing the kids. Thank you for the sharing—for the sanity.>> <<@cristianetinoco8771 says : OH MY GOD! BEST INTERVIEW EVER! So many points to discuss further.>> <<@iromez1812 says : omg, i haven't felt enthusiastic about learning anything since i was 15 yrs old. I wish ppl like her were every teacher in every university.>> <<@stevenstuart1442 says : switched on Lady...............>> <<@jeremyjohnstone1625 says : Great discussion full of useful information. The outcomes of this approach at Mikaela speak for themselves. Thank you very much. Jeremy Johnstone>>
