Extra Credit TED talks Education by Bill Gates.


    TEDed is very fun resource to understand social problems. Bill Gates talks that feed back teachers is important to students to be better. People need a coach at any level of society. That's because we need feed back to what we'd done and learn. Such as explaining why did it succeed, why did it not succeed. In the United States, 98% teachers just give one word feed back to their students. Bill says that it doesn't help students to improve their study. The best academic teachers in the world is in Shanghai ,China. The students who got taught from these teachers are good at reading ,math and science. Therefore, he thinks that we need teacher feed back to teachers to be these teacher in China. The way can be like a survey which BMCC also do in the end of each semester, or giving a tools that teachers need in the class. These cost will be 5 billion but it will be needed for children ' education and training better teacher in the United States.
I agree with the idea that students do feed back to their teachers. In the college, we can choose professors, but before the college time, students don't have right to choose teachers. Even if they don't understand what they are doing in the class, they can't complain and change the class. Once students couldn't catch up the class, these students are likely to give up going to school, or at college level, they would drop out from the school. If we could meet a good teacher, who is very knowledgable and well known how to teach, we can be interested in the subjects. As Bill Gates pointed out about teacher education, U.S should provide “measures of effective teaching” project.
