Changing the Education Paradigm
Is standardized testing and the boards out of date?
Is ADHD actually an advantage for a physician?
I would love to hear your opinion of this interesting video:

I absolutely enjoyed this video. It makes you wonder if this is what "they" wanted out of education all along. They as in the people on "Top" want to guide our thoughts, put ideas in your heads and basically tell us what we have to want or don't want, like or dislike, need or don't need. In different words I would say basically by this " educational process" they will ended up taking away our freedom to think hence make decisions, or even guide our creativity. And I like the point made by the divergent thinking, it almost feels like ''they" are purposely guiding us to one point view, one side of the story and it's their point of view.

i enjoyed the video very much.. it was such a unique way of viewing the present education..
but, i don't think the standardised testing and boards are outdated, rather, i think the way that instituitions and universities teach students, they tend to cater specifically to what a final "test" would be like.. like "spotting" questions.. it's like teaching them how to think. i think being able to have divervence in our thinking is wonderful...
it makes everything look different.. tho i tend to agree, ADHD is a diagnosis due to the inability to pay attention due to the "distractions" that are now present in this world and that children should be given freedom to do things at their own pace, in their own time.. but nowadays, who has these abundant luxuries of unlimited time??
