Children DON'T just need an education they need to interact with one another to build social skills.
I wish that was true
Yes it is truth, however using technology and online classes are able to manage their time and attend to alternative o extra curricular classes to interact with other students that probably have the same o similar interest
@Cole I would like a citation for that research.
Technology can provide education but school isn't about JUST education. It's about making friends, learning real skills which will be helpful in life.
Nobody has actually been learning real skills or how to socialize cos it's too much about conforming and people only go there to get bullied, everywhere i've gone 2 primary schools, 2 high schools and 2 colleges all the same... at one point i got SO bullied by a teacher she was calling me pathetic and useless, don't do things exactly how they tell you to then your naughty and should be bullied and told you somehow have learning difficulties when you don't. That line is just malarky, the social culture needs to improve before anything can truly get better and living and letting be is a start.
@@FlyingMonkies325 I have been bullied too by a teacher in school but at least it was real, in life you will face hurdles it was still a life lesson on how to deal with people who abuse power. Better than sitting in front of a screen which gives no life lessons just a curriculum.
This is a common excuse I hear when confronting teachers about their poor efficiency at their own job. It's always the excuse that it's about "competences". Well guess what, research shows that these adult competences develop just fine during teenage years when young people are left to their own. Schools in their ever enduring effort to have people develop competences at the same speed at the same time for the same moral reasons take away agency, self development and exploration out of the lives of those who need it most. You know what is also a competence? One that should be learned early? It's to know yourself. Your limits, needs, morals, biases,.. When is a person supposed to do that when they get spoonfed bland info on topics that would otherwise really interest them?
@@FlyingMonkies325 yeah if that was an employer they would have had serious trouble with the workers union. Students somehow aren't qualified for work life balance.
I’m a teacher. I can tell you that Online learning did not work for most students. Sure there was a student or two who did but most did not. Students need interaction. They need to write and draw rather than doing anything in a computer. They need to read a physical book or document rather than online. It works better like that
Your problem is trying to do it all the time, Why did you choose to even do it that way? What made you think that would make sense? lol but your other issue is you never gave it a proper chance either by still trying to use the same way you've been doing things for decades now online the odd school changed their approach the rest refused to and so it was only your faults it didn't work most would rather just yell at peoples kids and never let them feel like they're doing anything right the same stuff you do while they're there in schools. You were all thinking about it the wrong way and should know that tech can only be used alongside things but you can't keep constant control over everything and then expect results, your still all like "we have to see everything you search" cos catch them wandering to sites you don't want your students looking at even when it could give them the solutions is all your looking to do. Your not even showing them how to even look for things if not letting them search anything cos your too busy handing them stuff YOU call "valid" even when anyone can use these websites, you get worksheets from Math-Aid and Math-Drills yet somehow they can't go on there themselves to use it, How is that fair? it's not. As long as this continues you'll never get anywhere, you need to let them go off on their own and stop this go go go culture and let them take a bit more time and learn at their own pace and also take 2 days away to go out and socialize, it's no better keeping them sat down all day in schools and barking orders at them when we need to be moving around and experiencing life, 30 hours a week it never needed to be, now trying to incorporate the use of the internet you need to budge on 6 hour days and reduce to 1 or 2 hour lectures so they actually have more time to go away and make sense of it then learn it, you standing there over their shoulder 5 days a week isn't and hasn't helped anyone.
@@FlyingMonkies325 wow you must think I’m old. I’m actually 26 and no I disagree with you. Technology did not work. Unless you were in the classroom to know any better I don’t think you should be talking about this situation.
@@franciscobuenrostro3891 You just weren't doing it right, i use computers to learn stuff all the time and you know what? i've learned FAR more on my own than i ever did in schools thanks to the internet, no being stuck inside all day and on my computer isn't great but it's not like i have a choice either because people are addicted to social media, the problem is just that is the social culture we have right now that's preventing things from working 100% right and you're still not allowing collaboration in schools your adamant about it and still stick to the method of sitting people at their own desk and not talking even when it could greatly benefit asking another student who DO understand things. Then there's being stuck inside the school sat down for 6 hours that also makes no difference it really doesn't... people need to be outside and out of the school not in there 30 hours a week... some people with special needs defo need more time but other people don't not teenagers and adults and yet nothing changes after primary school, that doesn't make any sense lol you've just stuck to the same model for both kids, teenagers and adults and call it "adequate", but meanwhile you don't even tell them what to do at home with the stuff you give them it's like you don't want them to and no... you don't that's the truth lol and right now all i'm seeing is resistance against changes that could be great if you just let it. The best way to use Tech is just use it for Research because you are searching a giant database even for videos so look at it that way, but don't do what my local college does by controlling every aspect by not letting us do anything at home where they get us to do everything there while watching everything we do and stretching themselves SO thin where they take that stress out on the students, especially out on me when i used to be there... oh it was a nightmare... well anyway we had laptops for looking things up and putting together documents and from how i do things by myself apart from using the Practise Exercises on Khan Academy the rest i'm just doing is Researching the right information to then put in my notes so... i would just look at things in the way we do things and let them do it at home or the library too otherwise of course... it's not going to work cos they've got no freedom to do anything.
@@FlyingMonkies325 so you mean all teachers weren’t doing it right? Yeah come on like I said if you are not an educator you are welcome to bring your opinion but don’t pretend you know better. I don’t know a single educator that agrees with you. 99% of my students now back in campus agree that learning in person is way better. Is it perfect learning in person? Far from it but it’s better than the alternative. There are a few students who can benefit from what you are saying and that’s why homeschooling is an option for those students. ELD and SPED students need to be in the physical classroom. General students benefit from socializing with one another
@@franciscobuenrostro3891 No you weren't and i do know having spent almost 20 years experiencing everything you do, for a start teachers need to stop thinking of themselves as better than their students and i think that's why for 13 year olds and over it needs to start being 1 hour to 1 hour and a half lectures like in american universities so you don't feel you need to bust yourself trying to make everyone understand how you think about things when we never can... you have to let people be who they are you never do... and currently things still being all about money you definitely don't... So lectures will help you stay on target and not allow you enough time to wander off on tangents that has nothing to do with the subject and then you can even teach 2 subjects if you wanted and still have time to improve on things A LOT instead of it all being about a 9 - 5 paycheck, you don't have to prolong things and you can leave too cos i know your equally as bored lol SO many of the people who "tried" to teach were major pacers lol and they pace up and down all the time cos they were so bored lol you don't have to do that then when you don't have to stay for 6 hours either you can teach 2 classes and leave or go the library after to actually do things, and you have to allow other people to do the same. You cannot think about things the way other teachers have for decades learning is meant to be non-judgemental and unbiased and your supposed to be teaching people to learn for themselves and be independent thinkers who know themselves, you do FAR from that by trying to constantly control the process, it's really great to know we somehow can't be trusted it really builds closer bonds lol. Don't do things the way the older generations have always done them.. they don't know anything and would rather blame their inadequacies on everyone else, it's definitely outdated now but it's just never really actually worked, people are people and so should be treated as such, you don't have to try and do all the work let people take responsibility for their own learning otherwise... we'll just be where we've been for decades now.
online school has been the worst thing to happen to my educataion.. everything became 10x harder
Better for me lol
Write into your school and show disapproval.
it is engagement with others directly which is what was lost more than anything when school went on line. i was happy to get my son back in daycare as soon as it opened. thankfully Canadian school were only shutdown for about 4 months last year

It certainly opened my eyes in to exactly what my children are being taught. That's the only silver lining out of this nitemare.
Sry to say but here I'm against online teaching bcz em also a university student and ik how my learning outcome effected during online classes. Recent studies also shows that a student can learn more while engaging teacher directly in comparison with online learning.
It looks great at first sight, but it could become worst because it will isolate people more.
How will it become worst if the UK government was actually thinking of banning online schooling,yeah no we're going back to school covids an endemic disease and we have to learn to live with it
Isolation? Mmm school is where your children go to be bullied, humiliated, bored. WHY do you think that a well designed online learning system should be worse? The OU has been doing this for years. I would hope that online learning was actually done in schools and supervised by teachers so they can help those who need support, however for those who want to home school this could be a godsend
@Stevean2 change happens, otherwise we would all be living in feudal villages tilling the land for our lord and master. It happened in the past it will happen again. Change does not = bad!
It doesn't have to if they don't purposely botch things and give the wrong impressions, most schools are STILL trying to do what they've always done in classes including trying to stop you using any other info except what you give you but that's not Online Learning when they can't go online and search stuff, i'm seeing nobody doing this or having it explained how to just constant confusion and frustration it's not on... it's not right to oppress people in such a way they NEED to let them find other resources otherwise... i wish they would just all close down and be done cos What's the point of them? none... except making money. If someone isn't suited to learning at home entirely then they could just advice them to get out and go to a Library but... they won't Will they? cos that means using other resources except what they give them which is extremely limited and doesn't give all the information, it's just appalling the constant cracking down on people's minds this is NOT helping anyone and is half the reason for a skills shortage. I've been there and i absolutely hated i couldn't even ask more questions without being told "But that's not what i'm asking you to do" meaning "no i won't answer your questions your not aloud more info", the parents should be boycotting the entire Education System but instead it's 1 hour of the teacher babysitting them... it's a joke they still carry on with it. I just want everyone to be free.
Isolation is a gift
Ahhh, Those Boring Days! When We Used To Go To School.... Now They Aren't even a Thing...
Education in the classroom hasn't really changed since Charles Dickens was a lad. We still teach in much the same way, We still get much the same results. In the UK approximately 60% of children at age 16 have a reading age that is below their actual age. So much for education. No point in knowing what a hanging valley is if your reading and understanding is weak.
I graduated as a teacher in 1995, my final dissertation was on Machine learning, where I described a system where Kids were taught in school or at home primarily through the use of some kind of supervised computer driven learning system. This allowed regular testing and if necessary the kids could be put back to the areas they were weak on. This allowed individual learning pace, challenging the able and supporting the weak. It is easy to flag to a teacher where weaknesses are and to generate reports that really reflect the students ability in a subject. In practical subjects simulation allowed practical lessons without the dangers of real life chemicals or tools. My head of department marked me down because he said it was science fiction and schools could never afford the computing power nor would teachers have the ability to use such a system. :-( How prophetic was I.,
I think they would find that computer learning is detrimental to many students as the retention of information is far less on computers than it is from writing. There's an undeniable connection between the pen and mind when formulating a sentence on paper.would That's me though, if the government has said this is what is happening this is what will happen
I have a doctorate in Machine Learning from the University of Oxford. You were a pioneer, my friend.
Ahh so business as usual for tech companies 😂 Colour me surprised.
@henery Lee: just because the source of information is a computer programme doesn’t mean there isn’t any writing involved. Machine learning can be much more interactive than a traditional classroom lesson. Kids today respond to learning as they play, making lessons look more like a compute4 game creates involvement, motivation and rewards through having fun whilst you learn.
@@Evan490BC who would have known such a thing existed! I based my dissertation on my industrial experience, I knew what I described already existed, unfortunately my tutor didn’t. However l still gained my Hons degree.
Luckily, everything has been back to normal🥰🥰🥰 But, I think the development of remote learning will be continued.
Technology companies should take more responsibility. And civil servants should disappear.
Not mine, I’ll be keeping anything tech to a minimum. I prefer reality to virtual reality.
Technology is already deeply integrated into the modern day reality. My second semester was conducted entirely online due to the pandemic and even the brightest students who couldn't adapt to the online mode of learning performed poorly. Reality is applied sciences and beyond. It is in our choices of what we do while immersed in the experience of reality.
According to WSj, the assumption here is that kids will not be over energetic and break down devices. In case they do, the schools need to know where and how to repair the items.
I was a teacher and i decided to end my career when they decided to go online.
Your just not doing it right and still keep trying to use the old ways and your forced to use the old ways and all the reasons why i left the education system 7 years ago when really i should never gone back after i left high school at 15, big waste of time i was... and it messed me up something awful cos that's the intention, but i've been teaching myself online and compared to here on youtube or websites like khan academy you can tell schools don't wanna let go of that control they had over the students the bosses don't anyway... but they need to let go, they're trying get this called a failed experiment but it's only a fail by still trying to control the process and now even telling them what to do at home... it's not on and it would have been a better experience for everyone if they actually let you do your job, many jobs are pointless these days though.
I think the idea of online teaching cannot replace the classes in person totally. The students still need interaction and to learn social skills.
A lot has come from this" disruption " how convenient🤔
It’s progress, just a bit quicker that we thought.
Exactly like japanese railgun An absolute genius
Funny how it took a pandemic to make Isaac Asimov's 1980s vision about education to be a reality
Asimov wrote about this. With his vision culminating in I Robot. The book not the movie.
Covid19 was spreading around the Pittsburgh PA area as early as November of 2019

Education should be about encouraging moderation generally in our human mentality. It will strategically cover the lost economic ground due to natural disasters regularly occurring on Earth.
do you believe that natural disasters are any different today than they were 50 - 100 - 150 years ago? or is it more likely that hundreds of millions camera phones w 24 hr immediate access to everything happening all over the world is making it seem like the world's falling apart. If you really want to know & aren't just saying this due to an agenda then look up how many people are dying from natural disasters today vs a century ago. It's decreased by 85% and that's with 5 more billion people on the earth today vs then. humans will cap out around 10 billion since the wealthier people get the less children they have.
I started my involvement with educational technology in 1973. I was involved in the development of technology for Computer-Aided Learning (CAL) and Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) at Secondary School and University level. I have produced educational video programs for commercial companies and developed and published work on AI and expert systems. I taught at School and University level and I can assure you that there is no substitute for direct classroom/lecture room experience from both the teacher/lecturer and pupil/student point of view. I have seen the same nonsense spouted about EdTech for almost 50 years. It can provide a useful adjunct for teaching and learning but as a central resource for student/pupil education it is doomed to failure but it has a fatal fascination for people who have no expertise or experience in education but see it as a commercial opportunity.
Thank you for this honest and concise breakdown.
Tell that to schools who limited our learning for decades to 1 book, 1 curriculum, 1 perspective they've already been doing that and it was awful totally doomed so many of us and at 31 i'm so mentally and psychologically messed up by it and by being taught by people who just don't get me all the while trying to "normalize" me into someone i'm not, i really do have ptsd over it all being stuck there for 6 hours unable to be myself or think like myself, if i wasn't humiliated in class i was outside of it during every break then sometimes outside of school... I don't want to be taught by people that just don't get me and these 6 hour days is half of what dooms the whole thing of them trying to do that because based on what we know about human nature we just don't entirely get each other and that's okay but... we have to be realistic about that and how bias it is trying to force the perspectives of other people onto others. It's just not alright and so... it's best to spend 1 hour to 2 hours max there depending on the subject but for it to be like universities in america i totally LOVE their style because they just explain some things, give you 2 or 3 concepts to learn and then they let you go without saying a word and then they have time to give you feedback or answer your questions if you need more help, it's just such an unbiased approach where it's like "This is my way of explaining it but that's okay if you didn't understand it, do whatever you need to on your own to understand it whatevs" lol, it's as non-judgmental as learning things on the internet and THAT is how teaching should be... lay out the info and then make sense of it how you wish. I wouldn't go back though i'm too anxious and too put off and not willing to bank on the unknowns anymore i want to be absolutely certain i'm going there for the reasons i think i am not mislead and lied to which is all that's been happening, but this is what i wanna see for future generations, people LOVE KZhead Videos because of how they're just giving us what we need without going "your dumb cos you don't understand my perspective" and same for a few other websites too, it's just like... if you really mean well then you'll give us what we need.
I love online learning. And not like physical learning
Yes we have to truly become balanced internally and make sure that we are committed to our goals and to our visions! We have all the power within us! Sending love, happiness and peace to everyone! 🙏
Computers hinder learning, writing down things is essential for not only student but also teacher to affirm that the child has you know LEARNED something.
Also, computers are unreliable and unstable. Why people put so much faith in them is beyond me.
America has schools? You learn something new everyday
How about we get some passionate teachers that are supported and well compensated. Like why are we encouraging kids to stare at screens and let their brains shrink.

@@rickharriss no not massively. School is about more that learning the answers to questions tho, it’s where we learn to interact and get on with people.

How tech will ruin ur kids mental health, social skills and real life experiences
Sounds like more kids will fall behind thanks to this tech, you need to get kids moving around to get both parts of the brain working. You can not stick them in from of a monitor screen, it causes poor eyesight.
IF the children are monitored properly then this is better because they can work at their own pace and any slow learners can be identified and get the full attention of the teacher. In a mixed ability class you can only teach to the middle ground leading to frustrated high flyers and a few that get left behind.

As a student I HATE remote learning. It makes me lazy, tired and bored where I used to be excited when the education was in person. My grades dropped, I wasn’t submitting assignments. Although this topic is very subjective, and some children may benefit from online learning, this CANNOT be the future of education.
You don’t say how old you are but in most university courses that is how it works, you are given an assignment and a submission date and the rest is up to you, that is how the working world works too so better get used to it and man up you have personal responsibility to succeed it isn’t anyone else’s job to make sure you do. A teachers prime job is to make it possible for you to learn, the rest is up to you.
It can but not in the way they did it all they did was use the same methods they did in the classroom only 1 or 2 schools changed how they did things, it shouldn't be all the time, quite honestly for high school if they switched high school to 1 - 1 and a half hour lectures instead of 6 hour classes and put you in a more mature learning environment you'd do SO much better, just collect the information with still enough time for human contact and if the teacher actually allows it... collaborate a bit, but then you can leave and get to doing things, you can go to the Library and do things rather than stuck in your house all day, use books if you want to along with the use of the internet if that helps... (don't see how books do though when they don't have all the info). So far they haven't allowed collaboration in schools and colleges though it's just sit at a seperate desk, don't talk to each other and even if your sat at the same table don't speak to each other head down... and if they continue this then really we aren't getting any real human contact when we can't create real bonds with our classmates and they're discouraged from doing so, What's the point of us being there for too long then? none really... and we aren't gonna get on with everyone anyway so the best the solution then is just lecture based, gather the info and then leave cos also the longer we stay there the more of our time they waste. It's not just a balance between Tech and Human Contact but also how much time we actually need to spend there and i honestly don't see the social culture changing for the better so it's just like... stop putting us through unnecessary stress and let us do our thing, i know i would have hugely benefited doing this if i was actually taught early on how i'm also responsible for my learning, i don't want to be taught for 6 hours by another person that doesn't get me lol.
...I'm your host Jason Palmer. From Economist, this is Intelligence.
This is the worst kind of Education for the young. They need interaction not to be isolated in front of a screen.
Not so there are many ways to offer interaction. This works after all in a classroom. Not in isolation. Currently learning is very subjective. One size does not fit all. To be able to give each pupil the chance to work at their own pace with exciting, relevant and inspiring tasks is a revelation that has not been seen in education in the UK I the past 100 years.
Thanks you
This is awful for children's social development and is dehumanizing. Half the point of school was to socialize and make friends.
I got bullied and made no friends so no you can watch as your society is brought down
Oh please, this isn’t going to revolutionize learning. No tech is probably ever gonna do that. Look to Finland for how to build a great education system.
It didn't say in the title that this was piece was 80-90% about the US and 20-10% about the UK. Will there be a part 2, which brings up the rest of world?

May I just point out to all those commentators who call this a rich persons charter that all that is required is a dumb video terminal at the receivers end. In general machine led learning is best done in a formal "school" like environment with supervision, However if the student needs to be at home it is most likely they already have a dumb terminal in the form of a TV set. No special equipment necessary required. If we were to assume the government would provide the economically disadvantaged some kind of access to the internet, via village halls, Churches or library's etc, then a simple terminal can be assembled for less than £30 example a raspberry pi plugged into a TV. Even a mobile phone will often do the same thing. This doesn't require high level technology at the user end.
They shut down schools during polio outbreaks. Sorry.
School also teaches social interaction, you can’t learn that online. The rowdy teens and youngsters etc are proving this
Do you not think that perhaps 80% of your children's social interaction is online now anyway (with or without Covid). There are many ways to interact with others online.
@@rickharriss no!
That's not what we've been learning though at schools or in colleges either if not it's been discouraged, we can't ask questions we're sat at separate desks and can't collaborate, catch us talking once even when it was on subject and they yell at us and go "okay but don't talk about" and because of this and cos of most people coming from parents who are nothing but neglectful and teach kids to be bullies you just get bullied and alienated during breaks. I had no real friends i had nobody to talk to and in the end if you thought you had friends by the age of 18 they all turn on you hardly anyone really knows how to socialize these days even if they pretend to cos they're hooked on social media and the social culture started to get bad from the early 2000s it all changed from the comfy primary school i was in when i went to another primary for 1 year up in scotland and then high school 1 year later and there was no peace no friendly interaction. I move back to england and just awful interactions with people where they only interact with you unless they're bullying you or assuming they know who you are and don't even so much as look how they want and they won't give you a second though and always listen to the bullies including the staff it's our faults even when we did nothing to deserve that we're the problem cos instead it's about avoid lawsuits from rich parents.

Edtech is so important in this situation. Also we need to consider how teacher deal with this instrument into their education.
Tech only is not the solution. Face to face is definitely the best--pretty much any student will say that, from kindergarten to college. I say this as someone who went to undergrad in person and is now doing grad through online. Social interaction is a necessary skill that was developed greatly through school. Although with this new tik tok b.s., I feel bad for the social pressures that kids need to go through. It seems horrible. I say this as a 23-year-old too.
Never under estimate in person learning or our future will grow up with no social skills. Some teachers trying to get out doing what they're paid to do!
Much of youth social skill in already online through social media. Many kids have a wider group of friends from all over the world than they could ever have in their local neighbourhood.
WoW Edtec?! The great BlaBlaBla of GenY+Z! False promises and no results!
Ok
Why no one talks about families who can not facilitate the online learning process?!The families who don't have enough space at their house to create comfortable online learning environment for their children or those who need to work hard long hours to meet the expenses of their children and can't support the e-learning process of their kids due to this?! It goes without saying that kids need to be at school. Learning process is not only about acquiring knowledge to be successful professionals in the future but it also helps to develop communication skills, teach them how to interact with each other and understand others. If it goes like these, I am afraid that after many years our kids are going to be isolated, depressed grown -ups. I am ok with partial online learning and about applying technology ethically to help kids to succeed but I am not supporter of fully remote education system. All these matters should be taken into consideration by governments and educational organizations before making such huge shifts.
EdTech is healthy until and unless it doesn't replace the teachers itself.
Done properly it enhances the teacher allowing them to focus on the weaker struggling pupil. Done badly it's a disaster.
Nice video.
Anyone whom been to a university can tell you that you can learn anything online if not better then these horrible professors and their bad explanation. A typical college student sit through an hour lecture to explain one topic. Still confuse, he'll Goggle/youtube it and understand it within minutes. If your not going to the top institutions your education is sub par by learning from professors just hired because they have a Phd. I'd rather be taught the subject by a leading expert online than learn it from a person whom just barely understands the basic of it.
I hope edtech really grows. This is exciting
No. This is how you get a technocratic fascist state.
Nah I think we're going back to school,Uk government was actually thinking of making online learning illegal
@@catvideos3249 I was hoping for more of a positive outcome, but that thought process is warranted too.
@@kevinthompson1225 on this note, I disagree with you there.
@@catvideos3249 I assume you would refuse morphine or surgery in favour of prayer?
It's pity that Economist didn't take the angle that Technology, as before and in the future, might just be a tool whatsoever. Does tech be able to teach a student to think without a human teacher? The human teacher has used tech to do grading, examinations etc but teaching people how to think, how to explain, how to engage, how to stay focus, how to commit, how to read and write, how to be empathy and how to love? Does tech bring out new grounds on these? Does the setup of the online class help? Could tech teach your kids to be creative, or problem solving, or even, be critical? This video didn't address these. Remote learning has been introduced long ago for committed learners. It's the young learners that need help from teaching, not with just a tool. A tool is never a goal in itself.
After decades of tech companies trying to do education, the pandemic put the nail in the coffin for how bad it is.
you speak to WEF and Klaus Schwab, right?
Making it nonexistent
as a teacher let me say i am not excited about technology .i think that what is much more important than technology is a culture of rigour and mercilessness in our classrooms . with a chalk and a board and being so severe with students you can make them reach any high level you want .
Mercilessness ?? So severe ?? What century are you from ?? 😭
@@hma4038 not in the sense of beating or cursing . its in the sense of extracting the best they have through hard work , rigour and discipline . I don't see what is the problem with what i said can you explain
You must be being sarcastic because nobody wants to go through that but it's not funny.
@FallenAngel Kids everywhere in the world hate schools , regardless of how inspiring their teachers are .
@@FlyingMonkies325 so far you gave no reason why a culture of rigour in schools is a bad thing
Tear the kids away from family influence asap.. Currently three years old in Scotland... Utter cruelty and ensures deep MK.

We are social animals. Remote learning will not engage the kids.
The popularity of texting and video amongst youth disproves your statement
@@xtc2v You're talking about entertainment: he's talking about education.
@@jackspring7709 He is claiming "we are social animals": I'm pointing out youth is happy to be social online as well
@@xtc2v Yeah, I agree that youth are happy to be social online, too - but he's talking about education, not socialising, you're talking about socialising.

I'm so afraid in the future robot will replace human to teach small humans.. frightening
That robot would be far more useful than 99% of teachers these days lol when it would just give us what we want without an argument as to why we're wrong.

Technology will never solve mankind’s problems.
Agreed, technology is drip fed by corporations to maximise profit, the best stuff is hidden away. It's all about snooping and control of information and ensuring maximum consumption and reliance on the "state"
@@henrylee5457 I agree but what I really meant was in an existential way.
Without it we would all still be hunter gathers think about that.
@@rickharriss You know very well what I mean ☝️ besides what’s wrong with being hunter gatherers?
Oh all the anti-tech sentiment in the comments. I totally understand the emotions, but the world would just move forward regardless of people's emotions.
@C L given rise by gen x and the baby boomers. The most selfish generations known to man.
It's not anti-tech: it's genuine concern about the people and organisations - the people and organisations - behind that tech and how they will use it. Nobody is against tech.
@@manmaje3596 The baby boomers are still the worst generation, in my opinion: they were the first generation to be handed everything that was fought for and won by others - including total freedom - and they immediately set to work dismantling everything that was given to them.
If we carry anti change to the logical end we would all be riding horses and tilling the earth.

KUDOS!
Ah the education system, the beginning of the end for our children!😠
And you alternative is?
It is data collecting, learning how to control children, isolating them so they won't have to ability communicate without a screen, whilst eradicating their employment opportunities. Their rebellion is going to be off the scale but i dare say that has been planned too
DIGITAL GAP, widened again.
No this only needs a simple cheap terminal not a high spec PC in every home. You already probably have such a thing in the form of a TV in your home. There needs to be little cost and noone needs to be excluded. ideally such "machine learning" would be carried out at school, just a different kind of school.
No to vaccine passports
You are entitled to your opinion, but that doesn’t make you right.

"The support to stay engaged" you mean the Moral? Moral is YOUR job. It's not the job of the student or their parent to work on inspiring the listener or changeing the atmosphere you created. Admit it, you're not used enought to online spaces to make use of all the available tools to make a recreational digital space aswell as a Teamwork oriented area. These spaces don't even exist in traditional schools! That's why you have NO TALENT for your job!
On the cusp of technologically driven slavery we are being asked to celebrate the forgemasters of our chains. I don't think so.
Throwing words like big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to sell a grading software is hilarious, but nowhere near the "tech" of the guy pretending to be a classroom.
Just no
Dream of globalists
Education or indoctrination. .. time to home school
And “experts” can right anything the way the highest bidder wants them to write it. Marketing, propaganda, all for the highest bidder. Everyone has their price.m, humans are corruptible, doesn’t matter who you are, bureaucrats are not excluded…
Oh what a tangled web we weave.....tsk, tsk, tsk......
It’s time for education to catch up with reality and ditch things like a black board and realise that the subjects and teaching styles of the past are out dated…
is this an AI narrator?
