guy in red shoes -response-

My response to this video is that the person in the video had a good point on the way the education system is. He pointed out that the teacher is paid to "actually teach" the student, not just use book/worksheets to do that. When a teacher does not actually engage in class activities and does not show interest for what he is actually teaching it makes students uninterested in the subject. He also showed passion for education in wanting something better from it. Because he saw that the way he was receiving his education wasn’t going to get him anywhere , but t distance him form it.

 "He who opens a school door, closes a prison" Victor Hugo.
this is a perfect example that is related to this video because , if education was better many kids would be off the streets wanting to get an education , by doing this crime would go down , because kids would be more interested  in learning than doing other things that hurt themselves and society. Even though we have the tool to change the way education is structure, we have not done so mainly because teachers do not have interest in what they teach. Although it is not true for some teacher, the vast majority shows no interest in engaging and having a healthy relationship with their student, they only lecture and give papers related to the lecture without having any kind of activity that makes the students engage in a conversations related to the things they are learning in school.
