Both are true. Teaching kids knowledge requires teaching them how to think so that knowledge can be properly processed and thus converted into greater knowledge and life skills.
@LKY2831 Says:
This lady's idea of "teaching what to think" is targeting elementary and middle school children. At that age, children don't have the ability of critical thinking. That is why the school should have strict rules, not allowing them to make decisions, and teach knowledge with emphasis on memorization. Starting high school age, students should be taught using logic to analyze the information that learned before high school. That is when you start to lead them to learn how to think. This is the core idea of Trivum education. So, both Elon Musk and Katharine are right about teaching, but to different age group.
@lucamacchi Says:
Totally agree with her and I rose up my children pretty close to what she is telling us to do. That’s why now they are 23 and 20 and they are educated, good students, they are starting to work, they do sports, they have good friends, no drama at home,… but my wife and I we did a pretty good job since they where born.

Thank you Katharine Birbalsingh, please speak to Canada's government.

I so agree with Katharine, wish all school's would favor her ideals. So caring.

Her strict is not emersed in love its not disapline its bullying! If the teachers are not kind! This school makes a child and adults souless!The school's military-style behavior standards can be incredibly harsh and may leave lasting negative effects on a child's mental state. Rather than fostering individuality and personal growth, the environment often feels stifling, as if students are expected to conform to a rigid mold—encouraging them to become little more than 'robots' devoid of personality.
The head teacher Ms. Birbalsingh promotes the idea of multiculturalism, but her understanding of it seems detached from reality. Despite her claims of diverse heritage, her approach often feels disingenuous, and it appears that she lacks genuine insight into the complexities of racial and cultural identities. This disconnect can lead to harmful misconceptions, such as the belief that minority students 'play the race card' to navigate challenges in life.

Peterson does not understand how the postcode lottery education system works in the UK.
@Emmalittlepengelly1690 Says:
Bonkers. Get rid of teacher education faculty's, crazy. Accreditation means children are safer, an idea like Peterson's is crazy and unsafe. Birbalsingh is too rigid on some issues, this was seen in the recent court case brought about her ban of Muslim prayer. I think this was the main reason Peterson interviewed her!
@Ras_Spinoza Says:
Imagine a strict Christian/Muslim/Hindu/Sikh raising their kids in the way Katherine is proposing..
@JohnSmith-lk8cy Says:
She is right. ALL learning takes place in context. And children need to learn by good and moral examples. This was the way I was with my children.
@gedbogjid2218 Says:
I agree, I cannot fault her at all.
@caroldixon3124 Says:
She is absolutely amazing and any parent that is lucky enough to have a child at her school should be so grateful. If only we could send some adults to the Michaela School too. I think this lady deserves to be a dame and should teach all head teachers. What she has done for multi culturism is incredulous.

The school isn’t selective, but it is self-selecting because of the types of families who are attracted to the school.

Wonderful! Yes, this woman could be responsible for education at a higher level so more children could benefit, but the further removed she is from children, the less impact they will feel. She speaks truth! Thank you!

My daughter who has no children said to me you don’t raise a child, you’re raising an adult ? She’s going to make a wonderful mother and when I was a foster carer, she helped me so much with information she found online she is mid 30 still has no children because this country scares her with it’s indoctrinations and there must be more women like her ? When in reality it’s women like her who cause critical thinking is needed for the next generation to have a chance !!!

Katharine Birbalsingh is fantastic and a wonderful inspiration for teachers worldwide.
In NZ and Australia, our literacy and numeracy rates have declined significantly as schools shifted towards left-wing teaching philosophies and practices. Recently in the news, Australia has announced it will go back to some of the old school teaching methods as they've realised left-wing teaching is a disaster. The poor kids have been subjected to a subpar education because of politicians wanting to cater to left-wing ideologies.
@Dr_Larken Says:
The fact that we are only talking about this is sad, but it’s progress! Remember when kids were actually educated with both knowledge and life skills. Couldn’t wait to go to college or just move out! Not because there was problems at home, because they were motivated! Scared, anxious maybe But was remotely confident and had the fallback of moving back home!
Now kids are dumber, barely able to read at their own grade level, AP classes were removed because racism “or whatever”, they’re entitled, have no real world experience. then become a young adult and don’t understand why the world is the way it is! Because you were sheltered, you were told everything that you did “ regardless, how bad it was or halfass” that you were the best, in the world owed you everything! Meanwhile if you went to Uni, you got a useless degree which put you in debt. You don’t know what a credit score is, you probably don’t even know what debt is let alone the difference between bad and good debt! You become a victim or you never moved out of your parents house thinking that eventually you might get some reparations or something. Disrespecting your countries flag all because you don’t know the sacrifices that came before you. Because teaching about history is somehow racist. The only thing about slavery you know. What was thought about slavery in the states! You don’t know that it was white people buying Black people from Black people, you don’t know just about every race was enslaved at one time or another. Instead of learning, you’re taught to be confused, maintain ignorance, and regurgitate what you’ve heard. Anyone that tries to help you it’s just controlling, anyone that loves you You taught to find flaws & leave them essentially giving rise to future stock prices in pet supplies and catnip! But if you’re a remotely decent looking chick, you could always wear low-cut shirts and booty shorts Occasionally, posting pictures online, getting followers, getting paid “don’t do OF, read a book learn something” if your a dude, oh well man & shut up “no-one Cares” but if you man up, that’s toxic masculinity! lol
The biggest thing everyone is forgetting, a person success starts at home!

my answer to Samuel jahn re. strict measures:
It is interesting, how you try to twist this duscussion into personal accusations, simply having failed to comprehend my text: Most children never need it,
Most children never need it,
Most children never need it,
so mine did not, nor did I.
This measure is for you and yours.

Agreed on a lot, but my intuition tells me that dhe would also beat children with a stick in the name of love if it was legal. Kinda scary

@ThomasAT86 Says:
Very interesting and I agree with almost everything. When i think about what systems in a country I'd like to change, education is THE top priority! The potential is insane. I'll have to work hard myself to get to the point where I can raise potential children in the future well enough since my parents didn't do their job. Grew up with a very aggressive, abusive and alcoholic father and my mother being the complete opposite plus running away from everything by working herself half to death, which resulted in my sister becoming a very aggressive narcissist and me becoming some weak, anxious and naive boy. Many people will only see what mistakes my father did, because for some reason being "nice" is acceptable in any way, shape or form.
@youtubepremium2413 Says:
What this woman suggests is merely the reflection of her own understanding of the world and society, according to her own perspective, experiences and limitations. I believe the teaching principles she advocates are based on a partial truth, and are only applicable to a subset of the population. She suggests teaching procedures, like bringing a cup of tea, to instil the notion of kindness. Such procedures, however, will be confined in the domain and the context they were thought in. A competency-based approach would be more effective as it would be applicable to all possible scenarios. We need to teach a finite number of skills, to deal with an infinite number of problems. This facilitates knowledge manipulation and transfer between domains, and allows somebody whom does not understand the physics and the mechanics behind a car, to derive useful information from a mixture of exploration and evidence. You can provide an individual with a small model car with exchangeable pieces, and experience the effect of changing the pieces, and this exploratory behaviour can be used to draw conclusions on possible improvements, at this point, if the individual is able to draw a priority list of the improvements they would like to apply on an individual car, they can effect the related actions until the desired result is reached. To teach kindness, it is more powerful to display acts of kindness, talk about kindness, read stories about kindness, and reward kindness with some kindness back. This will create the necessary associations to the concept of kindness based at the emotional level rather than the procedural level, and will be a much more powerful and effective tool upon which we can build further teaching with great effectiveness.
