So emotional connection is what we need, got it Comment from : Sweet Memories

Great talk and very valuable indeedbrIt may just be me, but how would you make kids sympathise with subjects that are commonly viewed as vague? Logarithms or integral calculus for example Comment from : Lawrence Lankamp

Anyone wanna bet that some people disagree with this? Comment from : RSP

Excellent Comment from : Simone

Teachers teach, they don't motivate Comment from : Lock Jones

really interesting Comment from : elie bordron

I wish he was my teacher in elementary school! That would’ve been awesome 👏🏻👏🏻 Comment from : Fariha Mohamed Hilmy

Drama is needed everywhere Comment from : Travis Layer

Did you notice that whether he is talking about triangles, circles, or protagonists, it is all about “he”? Well, 50 of his students aren’t guys This is a very white, male talk I would suggest that if we strive to be great teachers we need to recognize that there are many other stories and we need to embrace them Comment from : Patricia Mabrouk

Almost every country has the same problem Lessons are not made interesting or rarely provided to focus on their interests I'm in ninth grade, and I realize I haven't learned anything I'm not interested in Somebody's got to fix this I hope that person will be me in my own country because I'm not happy with the current system and frankly I'm desperate for someone decent to come up with a proper system That's why I want to come Comment from : Blue

Hes not wrong Ps the skit was actually hilariouse Almost wanted to help the dog too Comment from : Prakash Seebarran

This guy is downright brilliant Comment from : Ashnah Khalid Khan

Brilliant! Ben's speech has reminded me about 3 things:br1) why I originally fell in love with cognitive semantics (with all the spacial and temporal image schemas, force arrangements, etc),br2) why I enjoy listening to rappers who are awesome story-tellers (and play their tunes to my students), andbr3) why I still love using puppets during my classes :-) Comment from : Diligent Linguist

Never thought the dog could be bullied by the cat Comment from : SirDumpling

Because were tired to death and dont remember the things we learned We need more sleeeeep! Comment from : Opa_Joke

Well said only male teachers can teach them 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈no offence female ones can learn from them 😍 Comment from : Zahra majid

I totally agree, eventhough grade 2 me would try to solve a difficult math puzzle just because I liked the challengebrRegarding storytelling, I still remember a story in my grade 6th Biology class book In it, the readers are on an imaginary trip visiting the factory inside a leaf I loved it so much that I tried to memorize and retell it to myselfbrWhen I was in kindergarten, my mom often read storybooks to me When I wanted to read them for myself bad enough, I self-learned how to read before teachers began teaching letters at daycare Comment from : hà phương lê

Watching this in 2021 I just wanna say no one is going to learn if they keep using this system to teach Comment from : Caleb

Uhm I’m sorry but this would not work- not for teens at least- I’m not gonna care about what happens to the puppets when they both barely have any personality to care about It’s still math and I still don’t want to do it Comment from : Pxppybox

I Agree So hard 😂brbrHere’s my story if anyone is interested I’m a high school student who really wants to be a teacher And I’ve thought my whole life, “why do kids have such a negative view toward learning?” I’ve had a few theories and things but it seems so complicated and different for every individualbrbrOne thing I’ve always understood and loved is math It’s so applicable, it’s predictable, it’s formulated It’s easy to process in my brain And i like learning it It’s fun and interesting and i get that feeling of ‘I’m learning something new’ I might even call it exhilarating brbrBut something that i am continually struggling with is history It makes no sense to me, i don’t get the story, and it’s just so monotone to my brain as I’m learning it One day i was talking with a friend who loves history and is really good at it I asked her why she likes it and she says it’s because she makes up stories to go along with it She puts herself in the events and sees it in a completely different light than i did I realized how much history teachers (and other teachers in their own subjects) can make it seem like the purpose of being in that classroom is to get the work done, get an essay done, do well on the test They speed through it and jump immediately into the confusing details without giving us the chance to see the story brbrI know that there are great teachers out there but in my experience, I’ve seen this method in almost every classroom It makes everything monotonous, boring, confusing, and unenjoyablebrbrI want to teach I want to inspire a love for learning like what i have for math I want to make school less of a task and more of an adventure And i think it’s so important to use stories, creativity, and art to do thatbrbrI know a lot of what I’m saying seems excuse my French cringey or cliche and it seems that way, but this is truly something I’m passionate about brbrThank you for this I think that school is one of the most mindset-forming experiences for young people and it’s important to change and alter education based on what actually works and what doesnt I’m praying and hoping that teachers will listen to this, and also that i can make a difference if i ever find myself at the front of a classroom when I’m older Comment from : Emma J

thank you so much for this - was feeling daunted by the fact I have to teach maths next year - this is so inspirational! I really appreciate it! and I did chuckle quite a bit xD Comment from : Natalie Lim

That was good wait for it Comment from : Taylor Johnson

Nothing better than being failure in high school in 2014’s till this year failures are everywhere till the failure turns out to be is not an option anymore at the time being Comment from : Comp Comp

This does not work in jrhs and hs Comment from : PMJ4EVER

Teachers don't teach Comment from : rowan h

Sometimes the teacher don't know what they are teaching about Comment from : Vic Tor

I had to look up what composite solids even was So caring about them? Probably not! Care about math? Only as far as A,S,M,D Unfortunately nurses have to torture themselves with more advanced math than that! Even worse, I’m not very good at math But I never had a math teacher who cared whether I was interested in math or not They came in, vomited out what was on the planner for the day and as long as you made a half decent grade they did their job And btw: cats rule!! Comment from : C

those people stopped listening the moment he introduces himself as a maths teacher That's why it's impossible to get a laugh from them Comment from : Jer Jer 9494

I need eng subs, can't understand this accent Comment from : Dee Luv

So, Ben, how do you teach algebra with puppets? Can you show us? Comment from : M Starr

Funny how it seams only the male teachers care about being a good teacher or know how to be one Comment from : Timra

So Meaningless!brit was too far from TEDx to share such a thing! Comment from : Science humanity

I can't explain how wonderful of a speaker and an overall person he is It warmed my heart to hear him talk about what he loves It makes me question what I loved most doing as a kid And when I think about it it was teaching as well ❤ I hope we all find our passions and inspire others to be just as CARE-ing as we are Comment from : Ana🕯️

When I search why is my teacher so boring this comes up 😂 Comment from : Beanie Boi11

He's brilliant!! If all my math teachers had been like him when I was in elementary and junior high school, my school life would've been easier Comment from : Annie

He wants teachers to teach like Mr Garrison and Mr Hat? lol Comment from : דור הדר

The only thing I like about school are Kahoots that teach nothing Comment from : Kenshibootyeater

I'm I the only one who saw a abusive household when seeing this circle and triangle story? Comment from : Gilgabro 🟨🟦

Very interesting but i feel like that example can not be implemented in math, anything school related (maybe reading)brbrBUT he’s on to something that ties with a different topic but i cant lay a finger on it Comment from : LAIDAN22

We must avoid simplifications but it´s something true, if a bad teacher explains something that is easy it may be that some students do not catcht it, let alone if the issue is a difficult one We, as teachers, must have two necessary qualities, explain as much clear as possible and second, to be able to develop thinking strategies in our kids and teens and youngs So, when a teacher, talks and talks and during the explanation does not use the chalk and drawings and doesn´t introduce some "emotional" anecdote if possible, something is going wrong brThe tragic consequence of mediocre teachers using poor methodologies results in mediocre teaching and poor formation Comment from : THE BLONDE LIONS

Yeah, the students are lazy because they don’t want to conform to the shady tactics of the school system Comment from : Facade_Games

Instead of teaching me at school ( only the history teachers does that for me) they make me learn at home instead at school Comment from : M

This is a joke States and Federal govt mandate requirements and superintendents dictate what is taughtbrIf lucky these days, teachers decide what is left, activities This is one reason schools are down Another reason is basically the comments below, no respect See Japan and culture Comment from : Timothy Arnick

We need to go back to previous basic curriculum Before 1970 One can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear Comment from : Rather B Fishing

Children need to be grouped by ability! A child who is low functioning should not be with children who have the potential to go to college It slows them down! Teachers should be allowed to be truthful with students I have children tell me they are going to be doctors when they will be lucky to work for Walmart Don't make the low functioning kids take academics Put them in vocational training Comment from : Rather B Fishing

Lack of parents and parenting! Most parents use public schools as babysitters Watered down curriculum Coarsening of America:( Comment from : Rather B Fishing

I'm from 3 years into the future and I want to tell you that School has not changed and the school system has become even more broken Comment from : John Mivule- Novabow

Why the most brilliant people are in the universities and research centers only while there should be a lot of them working in a kindergarten? Comment from : jacob same

This is all true I love teachers with passion However, the problem is that schools keep pushing kids to solve problems they do not care about, and it would be extremely costly to have a story for each problem to solve, esp that some kids will never care about a crying dog The ultimate solution is to let kids find their own problems and solve them with interest Many will never get to the volume of solids, but those who leaves school have no clue anyway The net result is the same By letting kids free, we would solve dozens of school problems The presented strategy is great as long as kids are forced to stay at school with no option to freely explore on their own Comment from : Peter BeginnerDad

The aesthetics of maths are key for teaching (architecture, and graphics made by the sine and cosino) Comment from : Karina Llanos

And when you are a history teacher, you have so many good scandals, fun facts, and more to weave into your lessonsthere should never be a boring lesson Comment from : Byuste

That's a tough crowd to get a laugh from, my god Comment from : Antonio Marino

No desire, just obstacles and defeat Comment from : PascalCase

But did it fit though?? Comment from : Arianna Richardson
