All you have to do is listen to Randi Weingarten speaking (or screaming) at a Teacher's Union conference to know education is not what modern schools are focusing on. It's frightening.

Straight to the point. I loved listening to her! Freedom requires virtue!

She is describing the core of classical education. Knowledge first, then understanding.
@Jimmy-Dubz-low Says:
She sounds great and even says "God save the King". As with all propaganda though I am stuck on one thing....Why dont white nationals send kids there?
Its a horrible question as I use my 1980s noodle enough to entertain the "possibility" that we are the problem now 😮
It makes sense though as progressives made us primary target of infilitration through 80,90s before immigration became a thing. This explains why Sikhs hold similar values coming over from the Raj whilst newer nations seem to dictate terms as they hold a longer history of understanding by comparision.

People should know history, about 1 war ,2 war and more. Young kids should know no matter what's happen in the world. A lot don't know geography. Family very important, morality, discipline. Why is happens a lot bad things in world, because God cast out from the people life. God our creator, Jesus Christ should be first. Then we're will be blessed.

This is why animal farm is an important book for kids to read. Some people are more ,,same" than others in these systems, because you cant get rid of human tribal structure its not possible. All organized mammals from lions to meer cats have a ruling system.

what a fantastic discussion, 2 of my favourite people, so interesting, informative and a joy to watch/hear.
@running4fun863 Says:
Absolutely correct, being strict mean, you are taking the time to support, showing interest and wanting the best for your child, Parents acting like friends and that is the reason kids have no respect for their parents and when the grow up want to have nothing to do with them, sad but it's true. Kids need guidance, someone to look up to, someone they can depend on. I have seen Parent take drugs, have sex and abuse in front of their kids, who is left just crying, I wanted to run down and pick up this little girl. Then I meet a little boy at the bus stop who could not read or write properly, he wanted someone to help with his homework parents on drugs, how sad is this, these parents have already made a mess of their child's life. I sometimes wonder how and why they were allowed to have children, well so they can get well fair.
@running4fun863 Says:
What I have been waiting for, thanks, we need a Head Teacher who is not afraid of the idiots. Katharine is all about the future of the children. I wish all the kids in her school success and hope they all become leader and millionaires and rule GB.

The modern left is a made up concept, thats why it doesn't make sense, the left have always been the french revolution who sat on the left of the king, and those on the right of the king wanted to conserve the kings power
The divide is really between authoritarian and libertarian

BLESS YOU, CATHERINE and your TEAM!!!
The "old school" is BACK!!!!!!
Flocks needs sheperds.
Solders needs Commanders.
Children needs PARENTS AND TEACHERS!!!
The only time I was called to school, PRIVATE, about 30 years ago, was because my son was... POLITE...
Immediately called the headmaster and after some "steps", that "teacher" was dismissed!
And my son is STILL POLITE!!!

I achieved 100% on almost every single test during my school life. Not because I "loved" all subjects but because I knew if I could have the capacity to do well in some, then only laziness and irresponsibility could excuse if I do badly in others..
Fantastic teachers. Great kids. No politics. No private lessins. No detentions . But it was also the time when adults were not zookeepers but very well respected, and there was pride in doing academically.

@shanecrump7932 Says:
41:33 she is wrong about American conservatives not seeing the problem with k-12 schools right now. Even most libertarians don’t think kids should have freedom. This is all because leftist ideologues have snuck their ideology into schools with a bunch of parents who either agree with the indoctrination or don’t care or have enough time to monitor what their kids are learning. A huge problem, though, is just a proliferation of spoiled brats having kids of their own and trying to be friends with their children instead of being authority figures because they probably have their own issues with authority. A quality education system is indeed necessary for a successful country, but so are good parents, who seem to be in short supply. Especially on the political left with their “gental parenting” and lack of boundaries. It’s a good way to see your child in prison one day.
@shanecrump7932 Says:
36:25 this is a really good point, but it seems like you can teach children how to think and what to think, with more emphasis on how to think for themselves as they get older. That should be a huge part of college curriculum. You could probably just teach it as problem solving, basically.
@shanecrump7932 Says:
33:52 yes! My mother had an “eat the dinner I cooked or go to bed hungry” policy in her house, and my sister and I (40&42) will still eat anything that is edible. The only things I won’t eat are melons and pudding because they make me gag. Don’t ask me why. But I actually enjoy eating vegetables. My mom is also a good cook, and instilled the ability to cook anything so it tastes good on a tight budget. We were actually very independent children. However, I think that independence was a double edged sword. My parents both worked 40 hour weeks, were dysfunctional, and didn’t give us enough boundaries or guidance. We both used hard drugs throughout our teens, but she just stopped when it started negatively affecting her. I continued and ended up addicted to heroin for 20 years. I think the biggest difference between us was I was sa’d at 5 and never told anyone until I was 20. I can’t remember the name or any details about my abuser, which is probably good because I would have hunted him down and went to prison for life. I have that same energy for all human predators. A few years ago, I realized that my addiction wasn’t really my fault because I started using at 13. I didn’t know how to deal with constant depression and anxiety. Anyway, despite not being my fault, it’s completely my responsibility to change and seek out the resources to make sure that happens. I have issues with the way Obama care was implemented. I think it was sloppy and passed based on lies, but at the same time I’m grateful to live in a state that will give me free treatment as long as I need it. It has given me the opportunity to get clean and back to work so I can be productive member of society. At the same time, I recognize that giving unlimited free healthcare to such a huge number of people is unaffordable and is already screwing the middle class. I don’t doubt that insurance company greed is part of the equation though.
@shanecrump7932 Says:
Her accent almost sounds American or Canadian. I’m curious why that is. I’m also surprised that she’s black. I would have guessed mixed race, North African, or middle eastern. If she was American, I would guess creole. Not that I care. I just have an interest in guessing the ethnicity of people. America is good place to live for my weird hobby 😊

I just found out about her now, finding Jordan Peterson interviewing her 2 years earlier is a pleasant surprise! Though not that surprising, Jordan has that feeling for other good people.

Any Government worth its salt should be giving this woman the highest position in Government to once and for all sort out our education system. Bottom Up. I was at a high school where bullying and intimidation was the norm. I liked lessons where the teacher set the rules in minute one on day one and didn’t waver from those rules. A couple of times the usual suspects tested him and he brought them down there and then and took no crap from anyone. I learned more from Mr Salt who was ex rugby player in Science than in any other lesson. It was a relief to be able to concentrate, learn in a room full of respect for the teacher. Schools should be palmed of learning, not places to learn how to dodge the bullies and not be able to learn due to disruptive students. If I had children and i was able to I would send them to this school in an instant. 10/10 Gold Medal.

My parents were both poor kids in London in the 30s/40s. My mother passed the certificate (grammar) and even my father could read, write and do maths to a reasonable standard. Schools in London are failing the kids. They blame poverty. It’s not poverty that causes kids to leave school without being able to read or write. It’s victimhood and indoctrination. Leave the politics and religion outside of school. Well done katherine. You are amazing!

After hearing Ms. Birbalsingh, I feel good about my parenting. I parented my children in the manner she describes; my 4 year olds didn’t have choices! My youngest son, once argued that ‘he was an American and we were not in Communist China, so I was violating his rights’, by not allowing him to do what he wanted. He was told that he had no rights and I was a tyrant. 😊
