MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL

This channel is getting me through university

"Crash Course is no substitute for a school's social functions." Given what the comment sections are like on these videos, I'm not surprised.

I hope you all realize the incredible scope of possibilities and opportunities you introduce to young people today. For the most part I think you do, and I appreciate all the commitment and energy which shows in the outcome. Every time I think of Crash Course, and the whole insights and enlightenment genre of KZfaq for that matter, I think of "For Want of a Nail". And, I wonder what I'd be doing now if the possibilities you introduce to viewers with such comparative ease in this time, would've been around in the 70's. Thank you.

the socialization aspect is always brought up as a plus side for schooling but we must remember that socialization is not taught at school it is self learned by kids during recess time and could well happen in streets in their neighborhood as well. as we all know the deepest lessons are self-taught so we should put more effort and resources on self education and transition out of the school system that did not evolve fast enough to fit our current needs of life long learning to adapt to our fast changing world.

Thank you Crash Coarse Team, for continuing to give fun and thoughtful educational material for us all!

I cannot answer the latent functions of the school when my teacher asked at school. I remember we all answered that we came to school to learn. Now the school is a lot more than learning lectures. We are learning social interaction. I don't understand what a school experience gives me during my school days. I only understand and miss after I am now a university student. But I will learn my best to understand and appreciate my time as a university student now. Thank you all the Crash Course members for such informative videos, it is literally an online sociology class.

have i told you i love this show? cause i do love this show.

You forgot the most important function of school: To make children hate learning.

I'd like to see a video about sex education. The current state of sex-ed is dismal, at least in India and the US.

A more cynical perspective on why public (state-funded) education became so popular and important for industrialized countries is because their workers now required more knowledge in order to be efficient. They needed to be able to read and write and have basic numeracy skills to operate machines. If the cost of teaching and training people was passed on to the state, then companies would not have to spend money or time giving their workforce the tools they would be expected to use. Worryingly, the same is happening nowadays. Many companies complain that people leave college/university and are "not prepared to enter the workforce". They want someone else to teach people to be good, efficient workers, so that the employer can make the most of their staff from day 1.

Eduction in all its forms is literally the most important thing in life

I think she speaks fast , so much information that i cant even handle it I feel like i should watch it twice but i know its good for me and i will learn more and improve my english

From high school on, I never had to say the pledge of allegiance.

I love that as part of additional recourses for our sociology class we have these videos. It is also funny how our teacher is always warning us that it's focused a lot on american context. :D Which is true, because from this video it looks like USA has one of the best educational systems, which is deffinetly not true. Here in the Czech Republic compulsory school attendance functions since 1774. Also our entire educational system is free and there is no religon in most schools (public or private). Of course there are many countries that have worse educational system than USA, but I don't think you have the best one. But it's just my opinion, so please don't come at me... :D

The thought bubbles are my favourite part

Educational institutions usually leads to an enrichment of ideas and a chance to gain an upper hand in terms of either gaining higher degrees or being more effective in your current job. Though there is inequality in terms of learning acquisition (neighborhood, preconceptions of people, and income) which affects HOW much of the education will actually be grasped by the pupil (student). It’s fascinating seeing how societies construct various institutions for the given populace to work around in. Loved the references you used as well! - James

This video it seems should be supplemented by the material that demonstrates the involvement of corporations in the development of the American edcuation system, such as, "The Underground History of American Education: A School Teacher's Intimate Investigation Into the Problem of Modern Schooling" by John Taylor Gatto.

teacher: STOP TALKING IN MY CLASS YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR SOCIAL INTERACTIONS :/

Totally unrelated, but you seem like such a stunningly engaging, clear and beautiful. Thank you for being one of the best presenters I've ever seen on Crash Course.

There is a better word for “post-secondary” -> Tertiary

Could I get an education CrashCourse? I want some knowledge for education reform, curriculum/instruction, and educational leadership/policy

In regards to the sentiment regarding a self-fulfilling prophecy involving people's capabilities and how they perceive themselves, I find the best approach to knowing you aren't good at something is to work at it until you get better at it. Then when you no longer feel you are lacking in ability in that field, find a new field you feel needs improvement. Not only does this seem to improve one's own abilities and confidence, it gives others sufficient reason to trust those abilities. Works for me at least. Basically a phrase one of my friends said should sum it up. If you aren't very skilled at something, "Git gud". Nice video by the way.

There needs to be more focus in school on "how to think" and less on "WHAT to think". Most kids learn how to memorize material and pass tests, but only certain kids verse themselves well enough to approach extra credit problems that weren't covered in class and actually require thought.

This is amazing.

This was needed. Up vote, Like vote.

Beautiful work,

Can someone please explain to me the difference between college and university in the US ? I thought they were synonyms but I'm not so sure anymore. Thanks

Those purple glasses look kool. 👍

Pleaseeee do these for UK sociological structures because most of your videos have helped my alevels so far and are incredibly helpful

best lecture ever !

Love the thought of Schooling so much I want to be a fish!

Crash Course and Khan Academy. It should happen

The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. The phrase does come from Thomas Jefferson, but it's place in the U.S. government comes from Supreme Court cases, not from the Constitution.

In irvine, california, we have primary school until 6th. middle school is just 7th and 8th grade

I am in LOVE with this lady

Is anyone here up for making a Crash Course Campus? Where would want it and would you sign up?

Today's Basic Compulsory Philippine Educational System is divided into Kindergarten, then Elementary or Grade School, then the High School. High School is further divided into Junior High School and Senior High School. Kindergarten is for kids of 5 years of age and is compulsory and pre-requisite to Grade 1. Elementary or Grade School is from Grades 1-6 with students graduating at around ages 11-12 years old. Junior High School is from Grade 7-10 and is usually general education. Some public schools offers special programs in STEM, Sports, Foreign Languages, the Arts, or Journalism. Senior High School is specialized where students study on a semestral basis and take 15 core subjects in learning areas such as languages, communication, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, physical education and health, and philosophy. Students also take 16 track subjects which are further divided into 7 contextualized or applied subjects with shared common competencies or skills across specializations and centers around research, English, Filipino, ICT, and Entrepreneurship but with contexts that are based on specializations; and in 9 specialization subjects which are unique to a particular specializations. There are 4 main specialization tracks or career tracks in Senior High: Academic, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, Sports, and Arts and Design Academic Track is further divided into sub-specializations or strands : STEM; Humanities and Social Sciences; Accountancy, Business and Management; and General Academic/Liberal Arts. These will help students who wants to pursue university or college in these academic fields. Technical-Vocational is further divided into strands of: Agriculture-Fisheries, Industrial Arts, ICT, and Home Economics -related technical trainings which students can choose and mix to a total of 8 or equivalent to 8. These specializations can help them have a National Certificate and can help them to find jobs easily and right away after Senior High. Sports focuses on sports science and physical education and in specializations such as athlete-formation, coaching, tournament and event management, or leadership in sports, fitness, or recreation. Arts and Design on the other hand starts with general explorations usually and ends in specializing in one of the arts: music, theater, dance, visual arts, media arts, or literary arts. Senior High focuses on the curriculum exits of middle level skills development, college or higher education, entrepreneurship, or career/work in the industry specialized in. Elementary and Kindergarten are also different, because in Kindergarten to Grade 3 students learn their subjects in their native mother tongue language, being the Philippines as an archipelago with different lingua francas and languages. They also have a separate subject on literacy in their mother tongue language. Beginning Grade 1, students take subjects such as Math, Art, Music, Health, P.E., Social Studies, Values or Character Education, and their Mother Tongue Language all using their mother tongue as language of instruction. Filipino language (national language) and English are introduced gradually through oral literacy until beginning literacy including reading and writing as well as other language skills. Beginning Grade 3, they will have their Science subject, but science is integrated in lower grades with math and their mother tongue language as well as other subjects dealing with basic science skills and topics. Beginning Grade 4, they will have a formal instruction in English and Filipino languages. Their subjects also are in either English or Filipino language as the language of instruction. They also have EPP (Home and Livelihood Education) or TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education) subject of the former in Filipino and taken from Grades 4-5 and the latter in English taken in Grade 6 as transition to junior high school. They have basic introduction here in ICT, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, and Agri-Fishery Arts. In Junior High, they also take English, Filipino, Math, Science, Social Studies, Values Education, and TLE as separate subjects. Music, Arts, PE, and Health are also taught as one subject of 4 components by one teacher usually but are graded separately. These are also true in grade school. In their TLE subject, they will be given exploratory courses on technical-vocational skills based on the school's resources, teachers, and equipments or courses offered under the 4 components of TLE as mentioned above from Grades 7-8 in a quarterly basis or format. In Grade 9, they need to choose one specialization from the things they explored based on interest, skills, aptitude, and availability and this will be their specialization subject for TLE until Grade 10. This can help them have National Certificate Level I and help them already for work. They can continue to earn National Certificate Level II in Senior High, or change their TLE specialization on other available trainings, or to choose the other tracks and strands in Academic, Arts, or Sports apart from Tech-Voc (the senior high school specialization equivalent of TLE subject). The Basic Curriculum is also concentrated on spiral progression of skills and learning, which is from the basic to the most complex starting from Grade 1-12. It is also learner-centered and context into local cultures. It also focuses on experiences and 21st century skills as well as development of students for workforce in chosen industry, higher education, or entrepreneurship. It also not just develop students in the typical careers of STEM, but also in Humanities and Social Sciences; Accountancy, Business and Management; Arts and Design careers; Sports careers; Technical-Vocational skills training; and also gives opportunity for students who are still exploring and undecided of their career fields through the General Academic or Liberal Arts specialization. This is just an overview of our new curriculum in K-12 when it started in 2012 and updated in 2016 from our previous 10-year compulsory education only without compulsory Kindergarten too. Now, we have 12 years of compulsory education with a compuslory Kindergarten. :D

Wow! For some reason I expected Mr green to be here

So my SO was looking for a way to use some of these videos with his learners but the speech moves too fast for those with learning disabilities. For a test, I turned the video speed down and it had hilarious results. Anything .5x or slower turns it into Drunk Course! 😂

true but it goes nicely with with my intro to sociology book lol kinda just adds to it

Where was the first formalized state school system established?

20 years of school, and then studying for the bar, after passing the bar i'm pretty burned out

If community college 2 year transfer is an option for you, I can't recommend it enough. You'll spend less money, have smaller class sizes, and get your general education classes out of the way so you can focus on the classes you want to take for your major and focus. You'll also come out of it with a degree or learn that college isn't for you without jumping through the hoops of a 4 year college.

impressive

Great video, looking forward to what's next

I love sociology

I love how she mentions tipping at restaurants and pledging allegiance to the flag as positive things. lol

Just a question: why did this episode focus on the american system when there are vastly superior systems in other places in the world? It would've been much more informative for some people to find out how successful systems work and how a generally happy society is structured rather than the American one.

I admit I was a little disappointed that they didn't do another episode on religion. I could read into this topic myself though and I'm actually really glad they did education because I'm super passionate about it and think about it all the time lol.

great video as always

I can't wait for the technology to upload information into our brains, through a brain-computer interface.

I studied Sociology and felt that it taught me absolutely nothing new about the world that I live in that I already didn't know. It just geared me to be more literate about such topics. Sociology was all just common sense. I felt like you'd have to be an Alien to not know half the things they spoke about.

its good to be a straight A student.

I love her.

Yep,I still owe a lot to college. I managed to destroy my credit and future before I was 19, nearly homeless these days, mainly because of my ex-wife and the kid she won't let me get a paternity test on and when the mother dosn't want it, the price rockets to over thousands.

Beautiful 😙😙❤

Wait, are standard US degrees four years or was that a slip-up? I thought the three year bachelors degree was a world standard.

I feel as though public schooling should be available to all people, I don't agree with the compulsory laws that make students adhere to attendance policies. In the event an act becomes compulsory for fear of criminal punishment, all real incentive to remain focused on instruction is replaced by an apathetic reflex response to having a gun put to your head like that. Education should be put on a less patronizing pedestal than what we've perpetuated.

It'd be really neat to see a video on different educational systems for countries outside of the US. One on Japan's education system, one on Germany's, and so on.

Crash course math is January 18th?

Please add Geography subject..

We really need to abolish tipping in the U.S.

All those latent benefits of education could be more easily achieved in a less structured social setting, like a playground or a park or a community project or event. The only real purpose of school is to give children information that they wouldn't have researched on their own.... and thanks to government programs like No Child Left Behind, the schools have been failing in this function. Personally, when I think back on my years of public education, the only class where I learned anything useful was shop class. (I learned math and reading at home. History didn't stick. I forgot my Spanish. I never really found a use for algebra. As for music, well, I just kind of sucked at that.) Meanwhile, things I actually needed to know, like how taxes work, how to get a job, how to vote, how to do laundry, etc., were not taught in schools. So tell me, what did I spend those K-12 years learning???

could you do one on Sikhism

Oh school was supposed to help me make friends? Haha didn't get the memo

Spending all that time in school and still not good enough, smart enough.

It is: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, dont misinform young folks, lol. Great lesson.

I can't even recite the pledge of alliance even if my life depended it

College graduate but still minimum wage. RIP

you're saying that 25% go on for post-university (4 yrs) to do advanced studies. failing to mention the other 2/3. sociology incoggurance, most are still in debt or unemployed. this sociology study is too optimistic for my liking

Australia, we don't tip and the tax is included in the price of something plus the government subsidies most of the cost of university (only for us to pay it back later) still better than America. Plus we have plastic banknotes

We are teaching our children the wrong things in school. We are creating a societal system where each section is dependent upon the other sections. This means when one section fails then the rest also fail. We need to teach our children to be independent. Instead, we teach children how to be obedient workers. To give meaning to someone's life teach them how to grow their own food, build their own house, repair their own car, cook their own meals, eat to stay healthy and most importantly how to meditate and pray. This gives life meaning.

wow I'm early

honestly the whole pledge of allegiance every morning thing is still the creepiest thing about americas education system to me. that and college tuition fees. like wth

One of the big problems in the US is miseducation. Investing a lot of time and money into an education that will never pay off. At one time there was such a thing as an Mrs. degree in which women would get a liberal arts education so they could be a perfect housewife who could be a good conversationalist and snappy decorator that could impress her husband's employers and the neighborhood PTA. Today in a society where both halves of a domestic partnership need to be breadwinners and there are fewer dinner parties, that kind of education's value has dropped like rock while the cost of it has gone through the roof. The world needs a lot more welders and plumbers than graphic designers and the pay reflects that.

Good video, but those weren't all states yet in 1918.

i thought you guys were going to do several weeks on religion?

Schools help you learn to be social?? I disagree. I was just as socially awkward when i graduated as when i started.

shes gourgeous, im in love

Sadly, the factory school model was incorporated from prussia as a means of creating docile subjects. The main purpose was not to increase literacy rates... Well, i guess i opened my mouth too early. Lol

We should send kids to primary school until halfway through fourth grade then switch schools halfway to the middle school until 9th grade when they go to high school like normal

I think it's really bad they don't teach religion in the US. I think it's possible to teach about religion from an objective perspective without indoctrination, especially if the state is in control of the curriculum. I just think religious studies is super important because religion affects everyone (even if you're not religious yourself). It's especially important in the US because it's very diverse in terms of religion. Then again, religious education is far from ideal here in the UK. I think it definitely needs to be reformed but overall it's best if people are not left ignorant about religion.

do kids in America really have to pledge to the flag every morning? isn't that a bit encouraging to discriminating thoughts, starting every schoolday of with praising your own country

Still better to be laying on the scholarly room/school campus facility then to be absent/away from it, doing less relevant things...

The only private school around here teaches you just about religion and not much about math and science. The kids who didn't know anyone in town.

Isn't the point of a church to teach you that religion? So why does any secular-education school need religion classes? Unless they're teaching all religions and it's an elective course.

Anyone know where i can find good revision videos for the uk sociology without half the video being random nonsense i definitely will not need in an exam

I am going to do a google search for secular private schools. There has to be some...

Sadly, even having a degree doesn't serve as credentials anymore. Graduates are greeted with, yes, you have a degree, but no work experience. There needs to be some kind of program that, perhaps, gives businesses tax breaks for "fostering" newly graduated students to give them experience.

Who is this she's so good

I need Arabic translation

Conveniently avoided the gender education gap. and men's under representation in social sciences.

And that's why we homeschool.

She is beautiful and Educated 🤓Girl from Heaven

Being a millennial, I was disturbed to finally realized that education is and always was political. But more serious issue is why have we JUST NOW have started "twerking" the system

I went to school in fair fax Virginia lol hello yeah

Except we all graduated because of Crash Course

مفهمت تا وزة ☺💔
