Top 10 Ways to Make School Better


welcome to the best of WatchMojo the
series that reef eacher some of our
biggest and best videos that you may
have missed what better way to usher in
a new school year than to discuss all
the ways it could be improved and here
is the human heart which you can see is
actually located in the center of your
chest
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
ways to make school better the penis is
now as you will observe more or less
fully erect ah that’s better
for this list we’ll be looking at the
different ways in which we think the
education system could be improved since
you know we get that eliminating it all
together isn’t really an option sigh you
know 90% of the country believes in
ghosts less than a third in evolution
35% can correctly identify Homer Simpson
and the fictional town which he resides
less than 1% knows the name Thurgood
Marshall number 10 make class length
dependent on subject matter you have
part of my attention you have the
minimal amount
the rest of my attention is back at the
offices of Facebook where my colleagues
and I are doing things that no one in
this room including and especially your
clients are intellectually or creatively
capable of doing why is it the classes
like math and science which typically
require more time to properly comprehend
lasts as long as home ech look we all
know home a kazoo joke no offense it’s
just like everyone takes his class to
get an A it’s bullshit and I’m sorry
and I’m not putting down your profession
but it’s just the way I feel we think
that the length of a particular class
should be dependent on the subject
matter
too often the bell rings and you’re left
staring at a chalkboard or projector
loaded with dense information do science
and then you only have a few moments
before you’re expected to be in your
next class it’s only logical that
subjects that require less time to learn
should be shorter whereas subjects that
are more difficult should be longer
right chlorophyll more like Borah Phil’s
right being able to quote Shakespeare is
all well and good but dedicating time to
topics that just naturally take longer
to learn seems like a beneficial concept
for students or a mrs. eka Berg writer
men than you have tried and failed this
class went out a bit one modified
reference to
that is correct does everybody see how
he got there
number nine fire bad teachers in an
effort to alleviate the effects of the
anyone anyone the Great Depression past
the anyone anyone a tariff bill the
hawley-smoot tariff act maybe they
taught English maybe they taught math or
perhaps it was the woodshop teacher but
he or she sucked at teaching and
everyone knew it
you might someday be doctors or lawyers
or scientists most of you however will
be pumping gas or cutting sheet metal
and that’s why we have Trump park as in
any line of work some people are worse
at their job than others are you gonna
teach us anything or are we just gonna
say here just do whatever you want
however unlike many other professions
teachers have the benefit of tenure on
their side tenured teachers are harder
to fire for ineffectiveness in the
classroom
allowing them to inflict their poor
teaching methods on generations of kids
getting rid of tenure would allow for
school boards to remove teachers who
aren’t doing their jobs properly thus
creating more room for teachers who can
effectively run a classroom okay
danger is mine let’s break into groups
discuss chapter one and if you are lucky
we might sneak a little planet Earth
number eight give students more time
outside
many current education systems rely
heavily on children sitting in cramped
spaces with their only natural light
source being a row of dirty windows on a
nearby wall who wouldn’t like a little
extra time in the Sun in places like
Finland and East Asia students are given
breaks periodically throughout the day
specifically to be spent outside the
classroom all they want to do is climb a
tree thank you to climb a tree they can
climb achieve in bailant
anta country but they’ll end up while
climbing the tree from really finding
out about different insects and they can
come to the school next day tell me
about what they found our brains tend to
get a little groggy when we sit for long
stretches being in small rooms under
fluorescent lights for four to six hours
a day only adds to this exhaustion more
outdoor time and a better understanding
of Mother Nature is a must
[Music]
with songs they have sung for a thousand
years
number seven get rid of group projects
now this will be a group project so I’m
gonna place you all into groups of five
everyone remembers the dreaded group
project the teacher would call out four
names and you’d awkwardly shuffle
towards one another eyes cast down hands
jammed into pockets your mind rapidly
formulating a plan for how to best
outwit your teammates so they’ll do all
the work
oh not tweak we don’t want to be in a
group with tweak there’s nothing wrong
with tweak I bet he’ll do a great job in
your group group projects were an excuse
for the lazy to be lazy and for the
hard-working to earn their title and be
forced to share it with their fellow
team members carrying the dead weight of
someone who doesn’t feel like doing his
or her share isn’t what school is
supposed to be about do you want to
watch TV welcome back kotter time are
you okay a toy Shack Michelle it’s high
time education professionals held a
conference to eliminate this superfluous
gathering of minds because you just
can’t toss kids together and expect them
to form like Voltron number six make
cafeteria food better and healthier I
made a mess
as we know maintaining a well-balanced
diet is an important part of staying
healthy however when it comes to the
food served in many schools around the
world you would almost be better off
skipping lunch entirely you remember me
telling Jimbo Jones that I’d make
something up in one day
mmm are you saying you killed Jimbo
processed his carcass and served him for
lunch okay not really but the facts are
in and foods that are high in sodium fat
and sugar are causing kids across the
globe to pack on the pounds without
going completely vegan it would be a
spectacular change of pace to see
schools adopt a healthier meal plan for
their cafeterias well plans that manage
to be nutritious but still tastes good
that is it was definitely the best place
to eat in town it was the school
cafeteria saying goodbye to sloppy joes
and hello to a nice Cobb salad doesn’t
sound so bad does it lady you’re scaring
us number five eliminates bullying
as long as there’s been school there
have been bullies while they come in all
shapes and sizes the common thread is
their unrelenting desire to see others
suffer throughout the years many
students have feigned illness to avoid
an encounter with the school aggressor
why does it have to be this way a bully
free school environment would make all
the difference no more hiding in the
bathroom at lunchtime or dreading
getting picked last in gym class
eliminating bullying is easier said than
done however it holds true that anything
worth doing shouldn’t be a walk in the
park
O’Doyle rules O’Doyle I got a feeling
your whole family’s going down but for
now I got a studdy motivational speakers
and anti-bullying classes are simple
ways schools could try to end the plague
of bullying number 4 make school hours
shorter good work people we will
continue with our lecture on the man
when we return children today are
learning 24/7 access to computers allows
kids to discover new information at a
rate that was previously unheard of hell
about global thermal nuclear so why are
we sticking them in cramped poorly lit
buildings five days a week in the name
of Education a study on elementary
school students conducted by Georgia
State University and Montana State
University found that shortening the
school week to four days could improve
student’s academic performance it is
Saturday and we’re at the beach and I
got enough junk food a chicken goat but
more could you want
not only does shorter school weeks lead
to increased productivity among both
students and teachers they also serve as
an effective way to help save costs
those extra funds could be put towards
different student services hey you and
the Cape yeah first let’s go
hey if the academics say it’s cool who
are we to disagree Finland students have
the shortest school days and the
shortest school years in the entire
Western world
they do better by going to school less
number three give schools more funding
the annual bake sale provides 90 percent
of the schools funding it’s no secret
that children are the future yet when
you walk the halls of public schools
around the world it appears as if
governments don’t really believe it
where’s our desk right des well a lot of
cuts had to be made since the schools
funding is short for lawsuit crumbling
infrastructure x’ outdated books broken
chairs and everyone’s favorite tube TV
at top of tray on wheels these are just
some of the problems facing both
students and teachers today
bottom line schools need better funding
children today grow up with an ipad in
one hand and an xbox controller in the
other yet when they come to school
they’re faced with archaic textbooks
dusty chalkboards and desks from the 80s
like they say an investment in knowledge
pays the best interest that I hope you
do otherwise is lovely potatoes from
here on out number two abolish
standardized testing do you even know
what I said she stands for test
scholastic aptitude test the hardest
tests are the ones where you don’t know
what’s coming that’s why standardized
testing isn’t an accurate representation
of a student’s academic worth what are
you people on dope federal and state
testing lumps everyone into a single
category when in reality different
people learn at different rates it’s a
test Sammy will test this you can quack
teachers should be the ones who
ultimately decide what’s on a test
because they’re the ones disseminating
knowledge to their students on a daily
basis moving away from standardized
testing and putting the task in the
hands of teachers what benefits students
greatly allowing them to test their
knowledge of a particular subject in a
way they’re familiar with Plus nobody
likes filling in all those tiny circles
a lot of people think these questions
are difficult
not me no no this questions I’ll have
answered before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
mr. Spicoli has been kind enough to
bring us a stack to be my guest
help yourselves did you study for this
test
yeah why and not such a miracle really
Luke can you go to the bathroom no you
went 20 minutes ago I have a bladder
infection appalled all right number one
no more homework if you can just turn to
page 47 of land of truth and liberty oh
I left that book in my locker mr. Ayad
in that case I’m glad I remember to
bring an extra copy and just for you the
last thing any kid wants to do when they
get home from school is homework a
Stanford University study found that in
countries like Japan and Denmark less
homework was assigned and students ended
up performing better than students in
other countries where more homework is
given after school time should be
devoted to relaxing with friends and
family not burning the midnight oil
trying to complete an assignment
teachers should suggest interesting
museums to visit or good books to read
encouraging students to learn in a more
hands-on manner
[Music]
schools should strive to ensure that all
subjects require an equal amount of
homework because nighttime and weekends
are for having fun not cramming oh so
much homework childhood slipping away
put down those books and go play this
instant if you say so do you agree with
our list you are a bitch why cuz I’m
telling the truth that makes me a bitch
