In this inspiring episode, Garth discusses the schooling system and how it is not preparing our children adequately. In life, you have to learn how to work with people, how to collaborate with people and how to delegate to people so that you can do what you love. The schooling system and in particular exams promote the opposite.
Delegation and teamwork are extremely vital in every area of life and the way exams are dictated do not support this, understand the value in working together and why by collaborating and helping each other we can all be successful and we can all achieve what we want to achieve.
“Be the change that you want to see.”
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don’t allow the grading on a piece of paper to control your whole entire life.
Imagine the buzz and excitement if you were able to work together and collaborate to reach the common goal. Teachers should leave the exam room and allow students to work together, to help each other out because that is how we succeed as human beings, by working together.
Exams don’t tell you what you do wrong, it just comes up with a grading for you as a human being. This can be damaging and degrading and follow you round your whole entire life.
BEST MOMENTS
“I didn’t understand it until I left school, it really isn’t the best breeding ground”
“It’s necessary to build networks and teams to be successful”
“If we take our differences and out them together we can make the whole thing go round”
“If you don’t know how to work together and interact with humans, you’ll struggle in life”
“We have to start telling our kids the truth, to help them”
