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.

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 KZbin 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.

"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.

Yet again, CC provides better and more in-depth explanations on the different subject they talk about better than most American school systems anyway.

[@jervey123]

lol in-depth? more like silly little trivias, i watched crash course computer science, i didn't really learn much about programming or the maths involved than the 4 years i spent in the university studying actual computer science... although they are not substitutes for school, these videos are entertaining and it doesn't hurt learning about silly things that won't help you in real life

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.

[@chillsahoy2640]

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.

[@artesiningart4961]

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

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

[@TheJamesRichmondTeacher]

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

[@jelumbard]

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.

[@Plystire]

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.

[@mitchelldesemple3148]

Crash Course and Khan Academy. It should happen

[@Laura-qp9iw]

It actually has! Several of their videos are on Khan Academy for different ap subjects. But they definitely could work together more. There isn't a ton of actual collaboration there

[@pavlinamestakova4729]

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

[@zinanibahoum1913]

The thought bubbles are my favourite part

[@electroninja8768]

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.

[@adrianlima7204]

I wonder how implementing affirmative phrases to children would do for them. Regarding Self-Fulfilling prophecy, having children repeat to themselves before every math lesson and other classes a short phrase like, "I am good at math. If I get the answer wrong, I will fix my mistake and try again." "Git Gud" is usually my approach for a lot these days but it took a lot of trial and error to reach that humbling reality that I'm not good at everything. Just a small thought. Have a good day bruv.

The separation of church and state is a legal precedent set by Supreme Court cases and is implied by the first amendment. See Lemon v. Kurtzman for more.

[@FrozenVodka1]

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.

[@piratecheese13]

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.

[@AntiFaGoat]

piratecheese13 I definitely saved money that way and I loved my CC much more than my university, but there are some drawbacks too. One being that it's very hard to make yourself transfer quickly because if you can't make a class work with your schedule you have to wait to take it later and depending on impaction of programs or budgeting you might have to wait another year or god forbid more. Then of course there's the temptation to take "fun classes" and "wing it," wasting more time and money. Unless you have an AMAZING academic counselor and are very proactive (something they don't teach you in school), you'll be stuck in community college for at least 3 years before you can touch university ground. But for the love of all things good, take advantage of EVERY perk college has to offer. If you just take classes, get good grades, and go home each day, you just wasted your time on more school after 13 long years of the same.

[@gracebrown3733]

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.

[@danstiegler2750]

This was needed. Up vote, Like vote.

[@panicnow14]

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.

[@strig0i803]

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.

[@skyywriting]

strig0i; Probably because this is produced in America, by Americans, with the majority of their audience being American. So it makes sense to produce the content that will effect and relate to the most audience.

[@strig0i803]

So that's a perfectly valid reason to present every single problem the system has in detail but present NO feature of a successful system. Seems legit. As I said it would've been much more informative for "some" people to find out about other systems because I'm sure americans already knows their problems.

[@nattyleo6079]

Kauze Dis Murica!

[@Brosemon]

Whats regarded as a successful system is pretty subjective. Many people would probably say Americas system IS successful. Not my opinion, but you can't just be like, "Its clearly not successful. They should use a good example."

[@chrysalizubeth88]

The purpose of the video wasn’t to look at educational systems as successes or failures, the purpose was to talk about education from the sociological perspective (i.e. how education relates to society).

[@Tharkz]

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

[@OG1919]

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.

[@jacobsim3971]

[@gracebrown3733]

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.

[@solaireofastora3]

[@partlycurrent]

I am in the U.S. and my high school provided a world religion class as an elective as well as a philosophy elective.

[@gracebrown3733]

Tbf I think I might be a little out of touch with the US. And whilst we do have religious studies in the UK, people are still pretty ignorant about religion on the whole.

[@jnzkngs]

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.

[@melonlord1414]

As someone from germany, that's really hard to fully understand how a democratic country can do something like that. That's something my country did in thired Reich, but not since it's an democracy.

[@MahoganyDesk]

I remember doing it in elementary school every day. I'd stand up, put my hand over my heart, and repeat the words. I can still recite them perfectly to this day. Only, as the years went by, I became more and more uncaring about the words. I had started to leave out the "under God" part because I didn't believe it should be in there. I started muttering the words. By the end of sixth grade, I was making just enough noises in the right cadence to make it sound like I was saying the pledge with my class mates. We were all pretty sick of it by then. Yeah, every kid in the American public school system says it every morning but in my experience, it has the opposite effect of encouraging discriminating thoughts or making me feel patriotic. The pledge became a chore, something to sigh through until it was done. If they wanted me to take the words to heart, they should've made me say it only on special occasions or periodically but not daily.

[@charliecastillo2011]

I’m American and I’ve never liked the pledge of allegiance

[@stewieismyhomeboy]

Yeah, pretty much. By high school, it became more common to see students refusing to do the pledge, but in grade school, I never remember being told that opting out of the pledge was an option.

[@ShawnRavenfire]

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???

[@sithari8165]

[@Lemanic89]

Education is one of my gripes here in Sweden. Especially the Special Schools for neuro-divergent students. They basically became troll factories, since the gender distribution leaned heavily towards male students and the curriculum was, as you say, a self-fulfilling prophecy, as it leaned heavily on STEM subjects, since the special interests among neuro-divergent men are within those fields, since they lacks the nuances of the soft sciences. The soft sciences, like civics and sex ed are therefore low priority and reduced to below minimum requirements to meet the comprehensibility of a STEM field in order for neuro-divergent men to understand them. Voilá, the "Friendzone" becomes a thing and it all snowballs from there.

[@NimsChannel]

Lemanic89 I want to have your dogbies.

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

[@therabbithat]

crash course religion: it's coming

[@shockminerx1518]

Crash course math is January 18th?

[@OsvaldoR10]

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

[@jobko88]

The current school system is a thing no child with smart parents should waste their time on.

[@bvec97]

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

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

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

[@LarryPhischman]

For the christmas holiday my family flew to Florida to get out of the Minnesota cold. On the flight down to Miami, I was seated next to two boys who were clearly home-schooled. They were both sick, and completely lacked basic etiquette: They coughed all over me without covering their mouths. Thanks to them I contracted the worst cold I've had since I went to New Zealand. That cold was f*cking legendary, complete with swollen red eyes and choking on my own epiglottis. The cold the home schooled boys gave me started with itchy lungs and worked its way up.

[@NawidN]

1. Their parents failed them. Not their school. 2. They might not be home-schooled at all. That's a really strange assumption to make, based on what's known. 3. You're associating all these bad things that happened to you to them. However, all they did on their end is cough. Probably involuntarily. Most definitely without ill will. Re-evaluate your position...

[@stewieismyhomeboy]

I don't know, for those kids to get that bad of a cold, they would have to actually spend time around other kids.

[@ToyRidgeDIY]

And that's why we homeschool.

Is there any other democratic country that has something so much over the top as the pledge of allegiance every day? From my point of view this is something i would expect in north korea, but not a democratic country. However the US is a special snowflake in so many regarts anyway. They still think they are the best country and have the most freedoms in the world. Maybe a little geography would help to give them all a little context.

[@26yd1]

I wonder if it's not the case in the UK too. Its "normal" in "democratic" countries that are the most socially conservative and religion influenced. Of course for us that live in a classic neoliberal country (I guess from your comment) it looks like coming from the stone age.

[@Brosemon]

The pledge of allegiance has been around for quite some time and at this point, I think its more just something that people do and dont really think much of. By high school I stopped standing for the pledge. Its extremely irrelevant and no one will give you any hassle over it unless you live somewhere conservative.

[@stewieismyhomeboy]

Lynn Perez By quite some time, you mean since the 1950s.

[@Brosemon]

stewieismyhomeboy Yes that is what I mean. It’s “quite some time” because by 60 years, I’d say it isn’t really “new”.

[@cathy1394]

They still do it in my country and this thing where people say that in high school they don't stand for it anymore is impossible to do in my country because even in secondary school, they force us to do it

[@ociemitchell]

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

[@RonnieD1970]

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

[@lim4074]

Who is this she's so good

[@BlueyMcPhluey]

pledging allegiance to the flag is so creepy and authoritarian lmao

[@swiftieSHANKY]

YAWA ASA ANG STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALIST ANI HAHHAHAHAHHAHA
