It would serve the non-english speaking community in the world to enable translation (voice over generated by ai) for this video. It is a much needed watch !
Thank you madam, and thank you sir.

@alterhype Says:
Our kids are literally the physical embodiment of our future civilization. How we treat them today impacts the world tomorrow. Early childhood education is the single biggest driver of future success-just read about feral children. So instead of talking about college and universities, let's start with our elementary schools and the largest pool of educators in the world: parents.

I must've done something right myself and two ex wives that is because we have 3 children and 3 step children and they are all great young human beings...each one very individual in their own right but all intelligent articulate thoughtful and funny. perhaps it is just shear fluke but I don't go in for too much focus on any one thing,but getting the foundations strong is a great start.for kids to flourish all they really need is a decent safe home good food and to know that they are loved.if they are gifted with good minds that will show at an early age.

This woman makes my toes crawl with her bullsh**t. Sorry but you can give children choices without them running the household. My boys choose what they want for dinner i have never forced them to eat because i was as a kid at school. Also what if your child has AFRID? Those children will literally starve themselves other than eat something that isnt safe. She is out of touch with SEN needs and children who may have truama due to being in care. But i would bet she doesnt care about that. I want to see this womans exclusion rate because i bet you its high!! I wonder what her students are. A successful school shouldnt just be based on test scores, it should be the childrens mental health too. But i bet she just kicks out the difficult ones. Also you teach children the skills to think for themselves, you dont just dictate to them what you want them to think on either sides. Does this woman even have children?

@karenk2409 Says:
I adore this woman; she is absolutely right. I taught Western (European and American) Civilization for 12 years at an American community college. Bright motivated students, most of them. I was appalled at how little factual knowledge they had while at the same time having very strong opinions. There is nothing more dangerous than a person with little historical knowledge who "knows how to think" - it's what totalitarian governments count on. I told them to leave their high school history education at the door. Also, if your collective memory is only a few years, then everything is a catastrophe because you have no historical comparative reference.
When you teach a child "how to think" instead of factual knowledge on which to base their thinking, their "thinking" is simply their personal frustrations, emotions, and myopic opinions.

She's spot on. This women should run the education system in the UK. That would solve so many problems long term.
@supersaiyanswag Says:
If she was somehow able to run for us president, I would vote for her. Shit, I’d work for her campaign.
@ElisabethCave-xs8rn Says:
Another reason for all these problems is due to the jettisoning of The Philosophy of Education from Educational leadership in the mid 1970s, to be replaced by psychologists of education. The psychologists of education have made that fatal error of deciding to *use* schooling as a tool to attempt to solve societal problems. From the point of view of the Philosophy of Education, the purpose of Education is to Educate.
The psychologists of education are the ones who have succumbed to the temptation of teaching through an ideological lens.
Please see 'Plato's ship of State'.... The rightful navigator of the ship of education is not the psychologist of education, but the Philosopher of Education.

Of course the Secretary of Education hasn't visited her successful school to see what works so the practices can be rolled out across the nation. That would be common sense behaviour and not in line with Marxist principles.

@katherineozbirn6395 Says:
I was raised in the manner that Professor Birbalsingh prescribes. Children grow up; we don't grow down. They come to us as Wordsworth said "...trailing clouds of glory do we come from God who is our home." They don't come to us as little gods we need to bow to. We are responsible to raise them with fair parameters. The stricter a teacher or parent is to a fair standard, the more the child will rise to the standard. Strict is not abuse; it's logic: if this, then that for these reasons and outcomes, divorced from the person upholding the standard. I fall away as a teacher; I hope the lesson remains. That's all that's important. For example: if a parent's bedtime for a child is 8:00 p.m., then it's 8:00 p.m., not when it's convenient for the parent not to argue and let the child stay up till 10:00 p.m. All we are teaching is hystrionics works and hypocrisy is the true rule. If the standards are waived, then the child remains childish in adulthood, which we see in abundance now. I'm a teacher (college), and what I could do intellectually and expect from students 40 years ago is night and day with the students I get today. My pet peeve is online courses. Online courses in undergraduate courses from freshman to sophomore should be outlawed. Online learning is contributing to disrespect of education; it's just a game of take this, get these units, and "earn" a diploma, like a video game. Prof. Bilrbalsingh, I salute you! And God help US!
@MishaSkripach Says:
Such a delight to read all the comments. Jordan's channel seems to be the only one where good parents can expressed their views without being attacked by inadequate parents or grown up entitled brats.
I hope Jordan and Katherine will go further and explore why so many kids develop behavioural disorders so bad they they are diagnosed with all sorts of fashionable "neurodiversities". As when a kid is constantly treated like a monarch, no proper development is possible.

@geraldpolmateer3255 Says:
E.D. Hirsch was a researcher who showed that the students who went onto do higher levels of work when they had a good grasp of the fundamentals. One can only go from the basics when they know the basics. Parameters and rules that apply to everyone gives boundaries for everyone. That teaches boundaries to children and they realize life has boundaries. They realize that laws are boundaries. When I was a high school teacher I took a look at excellent school. All of them had high expectations and they learned at a high level. I was a tough teacher. There was a time I invited a speaker. After he was done speaking he told me he had never seen such students. My students were working and achieving. They were proud of what they accomplished. How to think comes from what to think at first.
@leighmac1625 Says:
She’s so right about the supermarket scenario and parents asking little children what they want to eat.
@Paul-o3z5z Says:
as a past teacher, I'm excited to hear this interview. I always thought education should be a process of safe boundaries dictated by the teacher not a system that doesn't know anything about individual children.. Parents often forget about the process of learning. LOVE your elegant jacket by the way. The common sense of this lady is gratifying.

@virginiahouser1060 Says:
I'm just learning about Katharine Birbalsingh at this very moment, and I'm utterly amazed and delighted by her philosophy! This was my parents' way of parenting (50s & 60s), and there was nothing unkind or radical about it at all. They weren't perfect, but their way gave us boundaries and expectations, and my peers' parents did the same with them. I see parents now try to placate and please and try to give multiple choices to their children, while trying to be their friend. How have things changed so radically in child raising?! Perhaps there is hope for raising better kids and citizens. Bravo, Ms. Birbalsingh!

@walter9029 Says:
To stick to the example of the choice of what to put on: Even the selection of the dresses presented by the grown up is critical: All organic, all rainbow colours, just panus for a girl and so on.
@deboraholsen2504 Says:
I agree with her! Parents are afraid that if they don’t give their child choices, they won’t ever learn how to choose anything.
But this thinking is presumptuous!
Of course they will know how to make choices when they are mature! You don’t become mature by dictating what you want all the time!
It’s ok to tell your child what they’re wearing in a kind and matter-of-fact way. It’s also ok to tell them what we’re having for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Stop being so afraid, parents!
@deboraholsen2504 Says:
Children are given waaay too much freedom these days in the education setting. Some will actually go to the principal first if they have a problem that any teacher could help solve!
When we were little, we didn’t even know where the principal’s office was in the building and I never personally spoke a word to him from age K-6!
It’s very bizarre these days where kids will go straight to the principal to tattle on the teacher because the teacher did a teacher thing, such as have them stay in ONE minute at recess because of inappropriate behavior, or maybe she rescinded a table point for the same reason!
It’s really bizarre that kids these days go to the principal to tattle on a teacher who is only trying to…teach!
But we’re not doing our children any justice if we allow them to be so petty and authoritative!!
@MargoMoore-g5r Says:
Jordan, I don't understand why you would give a child under 10 or 11 any choice at all in the matter of clothes. My mother chose my clothes and even helped me dress (in those days a lot of dresses had buttons down the back, and we had no jeans until a Western vacation when I was 12!). When I was in sixth or 7th grade I suddenly just said I was going to choose my own clothes.
It was great! No screaming or crying--it never occurred to me that any child would have a choice of clothes. That's just how it works. I think modern mothers waste a lot of time and incur delays by allowing their children to choose their own clothes.
