Methodology is flawed.
Two peer review magazines, which don't accept non-english pieces is not a credible source. The noble prize is nothing more than another part of the
OBN. It's laughable. It is sad what passes for research and evidence these days.
Furthermore, your video does not provide evidence to back up the claims that it'd work. Saying something works and showing that it works are two
different things. Would you risk the education system being worse than it is?
Also, you can ignore it all you like but it is true. The Western media has done enough to scare adults into thinking Iran is going to make Nuclear
Weapons and killl us all. It'll work on children too. Why bother with School we'll be dead in 5 years if you believe the hype?
There are also other reasons. Ever thought it is not how it is run but what they are taught? Students are no longer doing research, investigations,
creating their own studies instead now it is: Read this, repeat it, well done have an A-Grade.
How do you get into Unis in the U.S.A?
Would you rather students took in example pieces of research than did an SAT test? Oh look multipul choice. :O How difficult.
When I went to School, out of my 13 GCSE's (Ages 14-16) ten of them were based on studies, etcetera, same for my A Levels (16-18) and my degree. Now
in the U.K. it is all about what you can "parrot" back. From what I've seen the same is happening in the U.S.A. (aside from at degree level) and
I'd place that as the real problem.
Students are only taught they'll do well if they can remember. Where is the innovation going to come from? Creative writing, the arts, athletics,
science, maths, etcetera can all be research based or practical and this is what students want. They don't want to sit and read or listen to someone
talk down to them which is how they feel more often than not.
