Do You Grade on a Curve?: Thomas Eppel at TEDxUCIrvine

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Thomas Eppel is a fantastic lecturer & this speech is right on... Favorite quote: "One size fits all mentality can make education more efficient, just like the manufacturing of only black Model Ts made the production more cost-efficient... and by the way we don't have to buy only black cars anymore"

Reform begins with a new mission statement. Goals for teaching shouid be acquire knowledge, learn to become a lifelong learner, and learn to love to learn.

How about a state that begins with the letter "Y"... So ... "Wyoming."

The only thing he really said is that we shouldn't teach everyone calculus. And I kind of disagree with that.

[@Games4Dummies]

I agree!

[@BrendanSanFrancisco]

Privileged educational experiments and TED-style meaningless anecdotes are great!

[@brandon8900]

He didn't even answer the title

[@tb8183]

So frustrating

[@danibaba7058]

I'm sorry but you should learn calculus,or any other science.Any other kind of education that is not a science has no value.

You are wrong on so many levels
