Yes it is truth, however using technology and online classes are able to manage their time and attend to alternative o extra curricular classes to interact with other students that probably have the same o similar interest
@FlyingMonkies325 I have been bullied too by a teacher in school but at least it was real, in life you will face hurdles it was still a life lesson on how to deal with people who abuse power. Better than sitting in front of a screen which gives no life lessons just a curriculum.
This is a common excuse I hear when confronting teachers about their poor efficiency at their own job. It's always the excuse that it's about "competences". Well guess what, research shows that these adult competences develop just fine during teenage years when young people are left to their own. Schools in their ever enduring effort to have people develop competences at the same speed at the same time for the same moral reasons take away agency, self development and exploration out of the lives of those who need it most. You know what is also a competence? One that should be learned early? It's to know yourself. Your limits, needs, morals, biases,.. When is a person supposed to do that when they get spoonfed bland info on topics that would otherwise really interest them?
@FlyingMonkies325 yeah if that was an employer they would have had serious trouble with the workers union. Students somehow aren't qualified for work life balance.
I’m a teacher. I can tell you that Online learning did not work for most students. Sure there was a student or two who did but most did not. Students need interaction. They need to write and draw rather than doing anything in a computer. They need to read a physical book or document rather than online. It works better like that
@FlyingMonkies325 wow you must think I’m old. I’m actually 26 and no I disagree with you. Technology did not work. Unless you were in the classroom to know any better I don’t think you should be talking about this situation.
@FlyingMonkies325 so you mean all teachers weren’t doing it right? Yeah come on like I said if you are not an educator you are welcome to bring your opinion but don’t pretend you know better. I don’t know a single educator that agrees with you. 99% of my students now back in campus agree that learning in person is way better. Is it perfect learning in person? Far from it but it’s better than the alternative. There are a few students who can benefit from what you are saying and that’s why homeschooling is an option for those students. ELD and SPED students need to be in the physical classroom. General students benefit from socializing with one another
100% accurate. There was a time early on when the novelty of edtech was so new it engaged students. Now it's the total opposite, they are CRAVING tactile activities. Being on a screen all day is also terrible for their mental health. There are many large scale studies that have shown this.

How will it become worst if the UK government was actually thinking of banning online schooling,yeah no we're going back to school covids an endemic disease and we have to learn to live with it
Isolation? Mmm school is where your children go to be bullied, humiliated, bored. WHY do you think that a well designed online learning system should be worse? The OU has been doing this for years. I would hope that online learning was actually done in schools and supervised by teachers so they can help those who need support, however for those who want to home school this could be a godsend
@Stevean2 change happens, otherwise we would all be living in feudal villages tilling the land for our lord and master. It happened in the past it will happen again. Change does not = bad!
Sry to say but here I'm against online teaching bcz em also a university student and ik how my learning outcome effected during online classes. Recent studies also shows that a student can learn more while engaging teacher directly in comparison with online learning.
Education in the classroom hasn't really changed since Charles Dickens was a lad. We still teach in much the same way, We still get much the same results. In the UK approximately 60% of children at age 16 have a reading age that is below their actual age. So much for education. No point in knowing what a hanging valley is if your reading and understanding is weak.
I graduated as a teacher in 1995, my final dissertation was on Machine learning, where I described a system where Kids were taught in school or at home primarily through the use of some kind of supervised computer driven learning system. This allowed regular testing and if necessary the kids could be put back to the areas they were weak on. This allowed individual learning pace, challenging the able and supporting the weak. It is easy to flag to a teacher where weaknesses are and to generate reports that really reflect the students ability in a subject. In practical subjects simulation allowed practical lessons without the dangers of real life chemicals or tools. My head of department marked me down because he said it was science fiction and schools could never afford the computing power nor would teachers have the ability to use such a system. :-( How prophetic was I.,
I think they would find that computer learning is detrimental to many students as the retention of information is far less on computers than it is from writing. There's an undeniable connection between the pen and mind when formulating a sentence on paper.would That's me though, if the government has said this is what is happening this is what will happen
@henery Lee: just because the source of information is a computer programme doesn’t mean there isn’t any writing involved. Machine learning can be much more interactive than a traditional classroom lesson. Kids today respond to learning as they play, making lessons look more like a compute4 game creates involvement, motivation and rewards through having fun whilst you learn.
@@Evan490BC who would have known such a thing existed! I based my dissertation on my industrial experience, I knew what I described already existed, unfortunately my tutor didn’t. However l still gained my Hons degree.
Technology is already deeply integrated into the modern day reality. My second semester was conducted entirely online due to the pandemic and even the brightest students who couldn't adapt to the online mode of learning performed poorly. Reality is applied sciences and beyond. It is in our choices of what we do while immersed in the experience of reality.
it is engagement with others directly which is what was lost more than anything when school went on line. i was happy to get my son back in daycare as soon as it opened. thankfully Canadian school were only shutdown for about 4 months last year
According to WSj, the assumption here is that kids will not be over energetic and break down devices. In case they do, the schools need to know where and how to repair the items.
I started my involvement with educational technology in 1973. I was involved in the development of technology for Computer-Aided Learning (CAL) and Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) at Secondary School and University level. I have produced educational video programs for commercial companies and developed and published work on AI and expert systems. I taught at School and University level and I can assure you that there is no substitute for direct classroom/lecture room experience from both the teacher/lecturer and pupil/student point of view. I have seen the same nonsense spouted about EdTech for almost 50 years. It can provide a useful adjunct for teaching and learning but as a central resource for student/pupil education it is doomed to failure but it has a fatal fascination for people who have no expertise or experience in education but see it as a commercial opportunity.
As a student I HATE remote learning. It makes me lazy, tired and bored where I used to be excited when the education was in person. My grades dropped, I wasn’t submitting assignments. Although this topic is very subjective, and some children may benefit from online learning, this CANNOT be the future of education.
You don’t say how old you are but in most university courses that is how it works, you are given an assignment and a submission date and the rest is up to you, that is how the working world works too so better get used to it and man up you have personal responsibility to succeed it isn’t anyone else’s job to make sure you do. A teachers prime job is to make it possible for you to learn, the rest is up to you.
How about we get some passionate teachers that are supported and well compensated. Like why are we encouraging kids to stare at screens and let their brains shrink.
@@jac9301 No not at all. Anyone can find information. Few can maintain control in the classroom and fewer still can inspire interest. Teachers are paid well and have a pension nobody in the private sector could afford
@@xtc2v Not sure where you're from but that's definitely not the case in my country. People can find information by themselves that's true but nowadays anyone can also put out information that quickly seeds in peoples minds even though it's false, Qualified people being able to teach verified peer reviewed findings surely can't be a bad thing 🤔

@@rickharriss no not massively. School is about more that learning the answers to questions tho, it’s where we learn to interact and get on with people. Brining a child up on a computer stuck at home will completely change the nature of society. That’s not to say there shouldn’t be progression and there’s definitely a place for self education online
Computers hinder learning, writing down things is essential for not only student but also teacher to affirm that the child has you know LEARNED something.
It didn't say in the title that this was piece was 80-90% about the US and 20-10% about the UK. Will there be a part 2, which brings up the rest of world?
Not so there are many ways to offer interaction. This works after all in a classroom. Not in isolation. Currently learning is very subjective. One size does not fit all. To be able to give each pupil the chance to work at their own pace with exciting, relevant and inspiring tasks is a revelation that has not been seen in education in the UK I the past 100 years.
Education should be about encouraging moderation generally in our human mentality. It will strategically cover the lost economic ground due to natural disasters regularly occurring on Earth.
do you believe that natural disasters are any different today than they were 50 - 100 - 150 years ago? or is it more likely that hundreds of millions camera phones w 24 hr immediate access to everything happening all over the world is making it seem like the world's falling apart. If you really want to know & aren't just saying this due to an agenda then look up how many people are dying from natural disasters today vs a century ago. It's decreased by 85% and that's with 5 more billion people on the earth today vs then. humans will cap out around 10 billion since the wealthier people get the less children they have.
Those that are smart will have the online information to advance without being distracted by ignorant class bullies. Society as a whole will benefit in the long term
Education makes everyone richer! History shows us this. Given the society we live in there will always be some who are richer that others, that doesn’t make them bad people!
@@rickharriss History also shows us that mixing races and/or religions together never ends well.....those that ignore the lessons of history are bad people
Oh please, this isn’t going to revolutionize learning. No tech is probably ever gonna do that. Look to Finland for how to build a great education system.
Do you not think that perhaps 80% of your children's social interaction is online now anyway (with or without Covid). There are many ways to interact with others online.
For the last couple of years, I was working from home, unfortunately, this makes me feel lonely as I cant directly face to face communication with my coworker. Just cant imagine how kids will learning from the screen, I think they need to build social skills with interaction, so in my opinion, technology can't replace face-to-face education, in the end, we are human we need to get connected with other humans.
Sounds like more kids will fall behind thanks to this tech, you need to get kids moving around to get both parts of the brain working. You can not stick them in from of a monitor screen, it causes poor eyesight.
IF the children are monitored properly then this is better because they can work at their own pace and any slow learners can be identified and get the full attention of the teacher. In a mixed ability class you can only teach to the middle ground leading to frustrated high flyers and a few that get left behind.
May I just point out to all those commentators who call this a rich persons charter that all that is required is a dumb video terminal at the receivers end. In general machine led learning is best done in a formal "school" like environment with supervision, However if the student needs to be at home it is most likely they already have a dumb terminal in the form of a TV set. No special equipment necessary required. If we were to assume the government would provide the economically disadvantaged some kind of access to the internet, via village halls, Churches or library's etc, then a simple terminal can be assembled for less than £30 example a raspberry pi plugged into a TV. Even a mobile phone will often do the same thing. This doesn't require high level technology at the user end.
Never under estimate in person learning or our future will grow up with no social skills. Some teachers trying to get out doing what they're paid to do!
Much of youth social skill in already online through social media. Many kids have a wider group of friends from all over the world than they could ever have in their local neighbourhood.
It's pity that Economist didn't take the angle that Technology, as before and in the future, might just be a tool whatsoever. Does tech be able to teach a student to think without a human teacher? The human teacher has used tech to do grading, examinations etc but teaching people how to think, how to explain, how to engage, how to stay focus, how to commit, how to read and write, how to be empathy and how to love? Does tech bring out new grounds on these? Does the setup of the online class help? Could tech teach your kids to be creative, or problem solving, or even, be critical? This video didn't address these. Remote learning has been introduced long ago for committed learners. It's the young learners that need help from teaching, not with just a tool. A tool is never a goal in itself.
Oh all the anti-tech sentiment in the comments. I totally understand the emotions, but the world would just move forward regardless of people's emotions.
It's not anti-tech: it's genuine concern about the people and organisations - the people and organisations - behind that tech and how they will use it. Nobody is against tech.
@@manmaje3596 The baby boomers are still the worst generation, in my opinion: they were the first generation to be handed everything that was fought for and won by others - including total freedom - and they immediately set to work dismantling everything that was given to them.
Why no one talks about families who can not facilitate the online learning process?!The families who don't have enough space at their house to create comfortable online learning environment for their children or those who need to work hard long hours to meet the expenses of their children and can't support the e-learning process of their kids due to this?! It goes without saying that kids need to be at school. Learning process is not only about acquiring knowledge to be successful professionals in the future but it also helps to develop communication skills, teach them how to interact with each other and understand others. If it goes like these, I am afraid that after many years our kids are going to be isolated, depressed grown -ups. I am ok with partial online learning and about applying technology ethically to help kids to succeed but I am not supporter of fully remote education system. All these matters should be taken into consideration by governments and educational organizations before making such huge shifts.
Anyone whom been to a university can tell you that you can learn anything online if not better then these horrible professors and their bad explanation. A typical college student sit through an hour lecture to explain one topic. Still confuse, he'll Goggle/youtube it and understand it within minutes. If your not going to the top institutions your education is sub par by learning from professors just hired because they have a Phd. I'd rather be taught the subject by a leading expert online than learn it from a person whom just barely understands the basic of it.
@@xtc2v Yeah, I agree that youth are happy to be social online, too - but he's talking about education, not socialising, you're talking about socialising.
Tech only is not the solution. Face to face is definitely the best--pretty much any student will say that, from kindergarten to college. I say this as someone who went to undergrad in person and is now doing grad through online. Social interaction is a necessary skill that was developed greatly through school. Although with this new tik tok b.s., I feel bad for the social pressures that kids need to go through. It seems horrible. I say this as a 23-year-old too.
It is data collecting, learning how to control children, isolating them so they won't have to ability communicate without a screen, whilst eradicating their employment opportunities. Their rebellion is going to be off the scale but i dare say that has been planned too
as a teacher let me say i am not excited about technology .i think that what is much more important than technology is a culture of rigour and mercilessness in our classrooms . with a chalk and a board and being so severe with students you can make them reach any high level you want .
@@hma4038 not in the sense of beating or cursing . its in the sense of extracting the best they have through hard work , rigour and discipline . I don't see what is the problem with what i said can you explain
Agreed, technology is drip fed by corporations to maximise profit, the best stuff is hidden away. It's all about snooping and control of information and ensuring maximum consumption and reliance on the "state"
"The support to stay engaged" you mean the Moral? Moral is YOUR job. It's not the job of the student or their parent to work on inspiring the listener or changeing the atmosphere you created. Admit it, you're not used enought to online spaces to make use of all the available tools to make a recreational digital space aswell as a Teamwork oriented area. These spaces don't even exist in traditional schools! That's why you have NO TALENT for your job!
Throwing words like big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to sell a grading software is hilarious, but nowhere near the "tech" of the guy pretending to be a classroom.
And “experts” can right anything the way the highest bidder wants them to write it. Marketing, propaganda, all for the highest bidder. Everyone has their price.m, humans are corruptible, doesn’t matter who you are, bureaucrats are not excluded…
No this only needs a simple cheap terminal not a high spec PC in every home. You already probably have such a thing in the form of a TV in your home. There needs to be little cost and noone needs to be excluded. ideally such "machine learning" would be carried out at school, just a different kind of school.
It’s time for education to catch up with reality and ditch things like a black board and realise that the subjects and teaching styles of the past are out dated…
