extra credit, ted talk education

I watched the Ted education video and it was very interesting,I also learned a lot from each different speaker that were explaining their ideas.One thing I really liked about the video was when a young lady was explaining how she almost drop out of school because she had a babe while she was still in high school and it was hard for her because she was struggling and she felt like giving up but one of her teacher spoke to her and told her to keep moving on with her education,that teacher was also helping her out in school, at the end of her school year she graduated. Most of the other speakers focused on students,teachers and education,I also realize that most of them were teachers. Each of those teachers had a different way of dealing with their students.Another speaker that I liked was Rita Pierson,she was explaining how she taught her students and how she did it differently from other teachers because all the subjects or works that she was teaching in class she made them fun.She also mention that for some kids to learn you have to make them feel special and that they very smart and able to complete the work or anything else.That is one way that she taught her classes.One speaker that really surprised me was bill gates,it took me a while to get a really good understanding of his idea.Bill gates said that teachers has one of the most important jobs in the world and they get no systematic feedback to improve their working skills at that particular job.He also mention and explain how the system isn't fair to some of the teachers and students and he spoke about how we can change that.He explained when he went and travelled to other countries to examine the way that teachers teach their students and how well the students learn and also how well the teachers teached. One thing,he mentioned that I didn't know was that the US is ranked 15 out of all of the high level reading countries and 29 in math.I believed that he mentioned that surveys also help out teachers and the questions that they asks in the surveys help improve a teacher teaching skills.Another good speaker was Geoffrey Canada.He spoke about lousy schools,witch means school that's doesn't improves their educational system. One thing I like about Geoffrey is that he spoke with boldness,he wasn't afraid to say anything he had to say,he also joke around with some of the things he was saying. He explained how poor people has less opportunities then the wealthier and richer people does.He also spoke about how banks are improve with technologies but the system doesn't try that hard to improve some of the schools,and that we blow away billion of dollars on other things then trying to help out some school and the poor kids.I learned a lot from each of those highly talented educators and their different perspective on how to help this generation and the future generation.Someone can really learn a lot just by watching TED,because you hear different ideas from different people.Out of the speakers,my favorites is Geoffrey Canada.I chose him as my favorite becaue of his boldness,he wasn't areas to speak up,and he was funny but over all I had fun watching TED.
