Extra Credit: TED Talk education Hosted by John Legend

Ted Talk Education is a talk show that hosted by John Legend. It shares a deep concern to notice the entire high school dropout crisis. John Legend brings speakers to give us a speech on different things about learning and teaching. Rita F. Pierson is a woman who spent her whole life working in school. She shares how if students don’t like teachers they won’t learn. She explains how if teachers don’t communicate well enough with your students then they will not learn anything and they won’t pay attention. She thinks teachers should have a better attitude toward student; the job is not hard, they were born to teach. She just wants teachers to know, you don’t have to like the student, and you just have to do your best of teaching the students. Dr. Ramsey Musallam a chemistry teacher who states that best way to learn is keep asking why like how little kids to when they don’t understand something, and until they do, they keep repeating why why why. Even with all the new things around, we still need human beings to help us more understand new things. Like me, I need someone to explain to me if I’m learning something new, I can’t just go to Google and learn, it’s never going to work, I don’t know if it’s just me, or if everyone is like that. Dr. Angel Lee Duckworth a psychologist who speaks about those people who successful are those who have girts. She tells us that in order to learn is to be wrong, make mistake and keep trying again until you take more lesson and start all over again to do better at something you fail. It’s like me, two semesters ago I failed my math class, but I didn’t give up, I took it again and got an A, that proofs she is right about even failing is not a bad thing, because you keep trying again. Bill Gates said everyone needs a coach in everyone’s life. I think he’s correct, we always had a coach, we just never noticed it, example when we were first born, and who taught us to walk? Talk? Eat? Of course it’s the people who took care of us, so we always had a coach we just never realized it, and I think even after we grow up, we need someone to always help us and tell us if we are doing something wrong. Dr. Geoffrey Canada talks about how this year we lose millions of kids from the education system. He said there are kids failing in school that had kids failing 56 years ago and still failing until this day, he’s talking about how it didn’t change, even after that many years, its true it’s funny how everything changes and things get better but not school systems? And he also says how can they pay so much money to pay other things, but not school?  He says 5 billion dollars should be much if they can waste money on other useless things. All the speaker in this show explained their thoughts about how teachers needs to improve, people needs to ask for changes in the educational system and more other things. Im very touched how there are still   people out there who cares about education and still wants more change in this world.
