Democracy demands equality; thus, through Education students can mix, engage in ethical and moral arguments whilst offering a competitive advantage to reason. The classroom is the healthiest space and place to learn how to express views and opinions, debate on moral and ethical issues, therefore, preparing the student for a global world. Thank you.

Democracy is a myth. We don't have it, nobody has it. Our workplace isn't democratic either. Public Policy isn't decided by public desire but by who has the most money to buy "representatives" through lobbying and other forms of persuasion. A healthy society demands equality, justice, decency but above all, demands a sense of collectivism and common good one can't find in a Capitalist Society,

Lacking of Education leads the population of each country facing with poverty crisis..human act as if there us no soul no equlity right. Black supersition is widly use to present their strongest sense - How poor is it? Lacking of education cause religion problem.., there is no ethical awareness , poor economy, poor heart, poor soul, life is belong to a person who rule the group cause global nutrients stagnant forever....

[@MehdiMehdi-lt2vd]

The conclusion drawn by Michael Sandel was superb. I totally agree with him.

[@Hhenryarero]

Appreciate hardworking Teachers

[@mehdibaghbadran3182]

As I growing up in the different environments, Is so difficult for me to find out when and where you are waiting for the teacher to come and joined you, and you don’t know that what room is live , so the expectation is not fare enough, otherwise if I knew, i never missed the room. Thanks

[@silone20101]

I think the lecture for this one, have not been completing?

[@davideduardoportillodeleon6704]

This has been awesome. It has made me think a lot while having fun at the same time with those discussions with the public xD

[@denise2169]

In our modern societies, we are becoming increasingly split off from one another. Before this, communities always helped and cared for one another. Now, because western life has become so competitive and merit-based, we sadly see how many people in present day society care only for themselves. This is what Sandel is trying to show us.

[@ajaygupta-il6vw]

Thank you sir

Let Students Work Hard, succeed in their Education and achieve their Dreams

[@Hhenryarero]

I am not a teacher but i support

[@Hhenryarero]

Teachers in Private School With incentive perform Very well than the teachers in Public School..Kenya Private School is a good example

[@diaz2629]

I was not impressed by the responses that these teachers gave. they failed to grasp the intent of the question along with the actual question.

[@davyroger3773]

Yeah Sandel was really slumming it intellectually here.Makes you realize the true caliber of those Harvard students who participated

[@eliseg1000]

y1 y2 I would put the extra money in teachers assistants so everyone can succeed and achieve /undecided because it should be applicable for all, not influent areas In Canada, a portion of our taxes is given to fund the education systems of their choice every year. I split mine between the two school boards as my children went to different schools The surplus is used for lunch programs and school supplies

[@Lukha21]

Canada? 2023? Much has happened since this talk. How do you feel now?

[@劉安安妮]

很有趣的社區教授分享會，這六年級學生反對老師用發獎勵(金)鼓勵學習，她認為老師可以用同儕合作，發展同情與分享在許多情意重於認知和技能的課程。給金錢和物質獎勵，在考科進步的獎勵，在我在台灣的國中教學經驗是無法的，國小也應該不容易，除非老師縱容他們以作弊方式達到獎勵。樂於助人並協助他人，分工合作，是經過同甘共苦的歷程中自發產生的，老師只能了解每個學生差異性，及協助所有人發覺在學習及成長生活中，受到那些來自家庭，社區，阻礙到正常學習，發展潛力的因子，透過共同努力，來解決這些問題。

[@Hhenryarero]

Subject teachers should be graded based on Students Performances

[@eliseg1000]

the school board should be the ones who are distributing the funds I also think that the affluent can have private schools but the taxes should go to the public system

[@Hhenryarero]

Recognition for the Students who Have worked Hard is ok With Me

[@Lukha21]

As always- brilliant.

Let me get this. No to giving kids $2 for reading, but ok to give teachers a bonus for test scores... SMH

She is extremely intelligent. I agree with you beautiful girl .

What's wrong with people? They cannot answer clearly simple questions, and they are twisting things so bad...

[@CarlosMoreno-el2yz]

Money is a necessity of life... The world will never be a perfect place it's not a Utopia.. I think one of the shortcomings of college students and even high school students.. Is that the value of education is not fully appreciated.. In America, Most college kids that go to university do not go on after graduation Into employment of the major they studied in. For example a business major Which is a practical field. May go on to be a cook.. What I'm getting at. Is the waste of money and time.. Why did someone spend so much money on something they were not going to get paid for.. We should get paid for our knowledge.. It has time and labor in it On a separate topic related to the discussion Many teachers don't advocate for students focusing on money. I think that's wrong.. Why shouldn't the students that go the extra mile receive recognition for the hard work.. That's how some scholarships are earned.. Of course you're going to have your winners and losers But then we need a lesson on sportsmanship we don't always get our way Even when we work really hard.. That's life might as well learn it in school. Why not? You know there's a line between being very kind as opposed to overly pampering children. They do have to toughen up a little bit.. Life will get hard sometimes and they have to be emotionally mature to face failure.. Why not have a discussion about having school? I saw many teachers that really care about their students with passion.. They love them I don't want to see them get hurt. Especially when they're young.. I don't either.. However Young people need a guiding hand.. We can be considerate . But The equality of outcome Should not sacrifice merit and Excellency.. We don't get paid to try We get paid doing the job right. Something to think about my dear friends 💖 🙏 ❤️

[@P.y.]

Getting employed in a field which is not your major doesn't mean that it's a waste of time and effort. Eg: the cook,as you mentioned, can use his business degree to expand his restaurant business. 2.It's absolutely good to reward students but the recognition doesn't necessarily has to be monetary. I agree with prof. Sandel here 3.It's much more important to teach children to be optimistic and how to deal with life problems rather than categorizing them as loosers or winners based on certain results and telling them "that's life, deal with it". A "looser" can also be a "winner" in certain other field. It can also be said that merit and excellency should not sacrifice equality of opportunity especially at that young age where merit or excellency doesn't really matter. What matters is that children learn the purpose of education and inculcate the habit of learning new things! Feel free to debate:)

[@mr.winhlaing1267]

very good that education

[@mehdibaghbadran3182]

Anyone has only one ideas, so it’s very easy to handle, and manage the ideas, what about if you have more than hundreds of ideas, and you will not be able to divide yourself into hundreds of pieces to be in the different room’s.
