Curious what you think of online educational marketplaces like Megastudy in Korea bit.ly/UUl5P and in the West, Edufire.com - or experiments like the Equity Project, a charter school in NYC offering teachers $125k salaries bit.ly/4y2MQg
I majored in computer science, but what I actually learned from college was in the liberal arts program at UM's Residential College rc.lsa.umich.edu/ - average class size of 15, no grades, classrooms on the first floor of the dorm, teachers accessible in the classroom and out. Yeah, raised by hippies, but it was great. Wish my science and engineering education had been similar.
"Each one, teach one..." – Poor Righteous Teachers
I hope Obama watches your video
Hands-on, personalized education is absolutely the right way to go. We only have 75+ million students a year (K-12) to educate, with 13 years to go from "I zipped my own pants" to university.
That's the challenge.
That's the challenge.
I showed this video to my 6-year-old twins, and they got the idea that it's if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.
Yoda's line about "there is no try" isn't always helpful, is it?

Leads to this curiously popular Japanese anime/manga series:

I'm looking forward to seeing "Skateboarding Teacher DrTae" finish up his Physics of Skateboarding series...
