My favorite part about the tier system is that by giving students more freedom and less regulation, your also establishing a kind of trust in them. In the same way that treating students like inmates will often prompt them to behave accordingly, treating them like responsible adults would build a sense of personal confidence and self esteem, telling them that they are capable of working hard and showing diligence even when they aren’t being forced to. Y’know, like actual incentive! As opposed to the kind of “incentive” that just threatens you and your future...

This unironically seems like a much better education system than the one we have right now. Some changes I myself would make would be to adjust the school hours relative to how much we're actually learning. By high school it's just the same stuff we learned in previous years + a few more things and we don't have the kind of energy that we had when we were 5. I'd say high schoolers should have the shortest days of all, and middle and elementary could be equally long considering those are the periods where you learn the most & have the energy to do so.

.. fun fact! in elementary school i used to have lunch at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="755">12:35</a> just for reference, SCHOOL ENDED AT 3 PM AND STARTED AT <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="510">8:30</a> AM. most of my class would bring snacks to eat during class when our teacher let us

As a teacher I know I'd love a good nap every once in a while. Good work, Senator Oats

How does dis man have such a great mindset on things this without a doubt makes school infinite amounts better especially with the nap time like dude applaud this absolute KING

You are objectively right about evrything

In my school I’m the only person who likes school and my school day begins at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="510">8:30</a> and we have to read 3 times a week as homework and 20 minutes of maths and 1 piece of topic homework per about 4 or 3 months

The tier idea is something I've been thinking of for awhile now. I am a generally well behaved student and get decent grades yet I have to sit with people I despise just because other aren't well behaved. This could mean more freedom for some people and less for others. The only other thing I could add is more choice for subjects. I have to learn dance even though I will never do it otherwise so the ability to choose what you do in less important subjects (I class math, science, english and hass as important subjects the rest are less important/unimportant) so you like what you are doing more and would be happier

Three memories from preschool 1. We had a snack time 2. There were some computers with a children's website 3. In the morning we could solve puzzles

i have an extended idea for the grades: the idea of the names suggests what school your in. for example: • elementary would be the first 5 grades (vorgarten, kindergarten, sangut, sprossen, and pflanze) • middle/junior high would be the mēsis 1-5 • high school would be the same as it is now and to reinforce it, elementary will now be called “wachstum” because it means “growth” in german. also middle/junior high will be called mēsis because it makes sense.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a> 8 think it may possibly apply to homeschool curriculum

I thought this was a meme/joking channel, but the part abt how increasing payment for teachers is important is so real. It hits home specially in my country (Brazil) where it's one of the least paying( per hour worked) and unrespected jobs :(

I would definitely never fake sickness if this was the school system

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> I personally had to wake up at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="345">5:45</a>AM every day for 7 years during secondary, because I had to get the bus, which would arrive at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="405">6:45</a>AM. I would always only get 7 hours of sleep while me friends who lived close would get 7-9 hours. very annoying and tiring to wake up that early for 5 days a week every week for 7 years but yk. (this is from someone who lives in the UK so it might not seem bad to people from other countries, but it was not good for me lol)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="25">0:25</a>, I just want to point out that that year is wrong, that is only the first separate school in the Middle East. I would argue that it is almost impossible to date the first school and depends a lot on your definition of a school.

one thing that would make everyone like school is if every class had to learn about "bird from Egypt". this would truly be the ideal world.

He did it... he actually did it... HE FIXED THE GOD DAMNED SCHOOL SYSTEM Edit: I love the split in the replies

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="434">7:14</a> do you realize there’s three Types of letters for each, so that grade percentages actually work, and Brayden itself actually works too

prep to 6 was 9 am start 3 pm end but now grade 7 to 12 is homeroom at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="505">8:25</a> (bell rings at 8 20 and 8 25 give us 5 mins) and class is at like 8 40

This is really great, but I think there should be a feedback system instead of a grading system, even in a great school like this, I feel like grades are going to stress kids out

this guy is making everything simplified and generally better for us he should go ahead and make life 2. Edit: thanks for 60 likes

My school took away nape time in kindergarten, but I was in kindergarten the first year they did this. That made somthing click in my head and now it is o most impossible for me to take a nap.👍🏻

You're on to something. The schools in Ireland I have went to have had almost all of these other than nap time and the names. The names are different but are still pretty bland. The tier system is a big thing in my Secondary School (Middle and High School). It's a point system and everyone starts at a default every year. If you do something bad, you go down a point or two, if you do something good. Being under the default amount of points will slowly remove stuff that you can do including trips and etc. Secondary School starts at around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="510">8:30</a> AM and in Primary School (Elementary) it was <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a> AM. I also think that the teachers are paid more than in America. The grading system is just 1-100% which is pretty simple. And Homework stays the same but the Irish President is planning to remove homework so yippee! Not only that but the work itself in school isn't that bad. We do stuff that are interactive and outside a clads room a lot including programming Lego, building stuff, working on a garden, applying Maths to the real world and etc.

I’d say a big issue with school is the way homework and grades work, homework being mandatory and seemingly useless and grades being based off mostly your ability to do things on time rather than your knowledge. How I would change this is as followed 1. Project based learning to give purpose to assignments rather than random problems 2. Homework isn’t always necessary and doesn’t always change your grade, as it’s a tool for learning so only homework assignments that relate to the project(like a script or something) should be mandatory 3. Late work within 3 days time will still give full credit, unless you ask the teacher for an extension or is otherwise stated to fix the issue with grades 4. Classes should teach more hands on lessons to account for tactile learners 5. Tests are now once a week on fridays with significantly less difficulty and are used to show that you have been learning throughout the week, they are also used as a sort of benchmark in order to determine whether the class needs more learning time or if they should move on I’ve completely reworked the school system several times over but I think this should be a constant in any rework because I personally believe this would be better for school systems as a whole

to be honest this feels like heaven for people who actually get normal grades

O' jenkins my good friend, i deeply thank you for giving me an insight of your mind as these ideas of yours will be truly helpful.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="249">4:09</a> Which is why I go to bed at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a> PM on school nights.

I had a school that was very similar with its rules for tier 4. It was interesting and quite enjoyable. It was also a charter school, so that may have helped. It was super awesome. There was a huge room that had a jungle gym and games to play with, and the playground had a Zipline. The way schedules worked was you had to go to classes, but there were like break periods in between classes. So I'd be in science for a lesson, and then you could go play on the computers until your next class. I really miss it there. Good times.

I transferred schools last year during the middle of the school year (ended up coming back to my old school. It’s a long story) but I actually somewhat liked school there. We started at 9 and started at 10 on Wednesdays with a random Friday normally once a month that was a dedicated work day which students were allowed to skip if they didn’t have missing work and had good grades. It was also a fairly new school with a vending machine that had energy drinks and a coffee shop in the commons.

I'm surprised on how many Good ideas This guy has. Keep up the good work.

Usually your ideas suck but this is actually like a great idea and I wish school like this

Since I really love art, I hate that teachers freak out when I doodle or draw, even during FREE time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="532">8:52</a> Swearing Nap time That ricecracker thing i had during lunch

I didn't expect it would actually be good but not too good so you learn enough

FOR ME IT'S <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">08:00</a> AND WHEN I SLEEP I JUST (...) OH RIGHT I JUST, ZONE OUT 5 FUCKIN' TIMES WHILST SLEEPING.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="312">5:12</a> Exactly!!! Idk why teachers hate it when I draw on my assignments/school work.

Something I would definitely add is the ability to fight back if you get in a fight. Not allowing kids to defend themselves is teaching them not to in the real world when it could mean life or death.

three memories from preschool: 1. i once read a book to my class at story time 2. i built stairs with these silly lego blocks outside and then i fell off and it hurt and i cried 3. we danced around to some song and they said not to fall at the end and i fell anyway because im a rebel

His ideas are getting more and more practical over time.

I actually once came up with names for the grades in Middle School, 6-8. 6th was “Sayagrad”, 7th was “Medigrad” and 8th was “Sedigrad”

The tier system reminds me of when we had "colors" back in elementary school. Red meant bad, yellow meant warning, green was normal, blue was great, and purple was awesome. Nice to see the system back!

Bro i need to go to school at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="450">7:30</a> too and keep the good work you're videos amazing

Love this 𓅱

You know it's a good day when oats uploads

This tiers of learning is actually a awesome idea! Now people will have great motivation to keep their marks high, and it would also make school an overall cool place to be, as long as you dont get straight F''s of course.

Cant wait to play it on your site

Finally a good video 😄 also new subscriber

For anyone interested in a teacher’s perspective on fixing school I highly recommend reading “Ungrading” by Susan Blum and Alfie Kohn. It goes into the flaws in our current grading system and ways to improve it from 15 teachers at various grades from primary school to college.

I personally have hated most of my past teachers so thank you for this amazing upgrade🎉

IMPROVEMENTS (yes im late) 1: School should start at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="600">10:00</a>. People like to sleep in. 2: school should end at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a>. People need to enjoy the afternoon as well as school. 3: This means that we can cut some useless classes and make them optional, after school classes such as science and languages (e.g. spanish and french) 4: school shouldnt get harder as you go, it should get a little easier each time. Or at least have so vorgarten is really easy, kindergarten is slightl;y harder, and so on until 5th grade is the hardest class. Then 6th grade is slightly easier, until 12th grade which just prepares you for college and living alone. just some suggestions!

I had this teacher in elementary school where she gets mad at literally everything, and very hardly forgive any kids who messed up. She never taught us anything memorable except for her deeds. I also had a cool teacher, he was kind and likes joking while also smart and taught us a lot and we always remember him.

"Name three memories of preschool" I only have one but I remember one time a girl fell backwards on her chair and I laughed because I thought she did it on purpose as a joke 😭😭

I actually have vague memories of preschool, I remember that it was in the same building as my moms work and being separated from her and I remember nap time

When my school starts at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="530">8:50</a>. It’s lovely. I live in England come move here most schools start at this time

My fourth grade teacher was seriously the BEST TEACHER EVER. She let me vibe and read during class and actually taught me stuff. She was really funny and nice and I will never forget her.

I wake up at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a> and get to school before <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a> i am glad this legend has fixed school.

I love tiered incentives, like the whole concept in general. I wish this was part of the school system.

Tbh I don't think the tier system is a good idea, I feel it might make students with lower grades and/or behaviour issues (aka often poorer or mentally challenged children) feel kinda "less than", and letting students do whatever they want on computers or just decide not to show up to class obviously inhibits learning. Also, having different students have different permissions would probably be very hard to manage for teachers trying to tell if a student is doing something wrong and I feel the system would just completely become ignored in many places. But a lot of other comments are saying they had similar systems that did actually work so maybe I'm overthinking it - from a "good" student You are objectively right about everything else :)

I know this channel makes a lot of jokes but on a serious note; This is *genuinely* a good change. I think that there isn't anything major and it doesn't seem any of this is impossible. I think that School(2) might genuinely be effective if put into place. I like that you seemed to genuinely care and think about the changes to be made. I just wish it was easier to change into this.

This is SO my FAVORITE video

The tiers of learning is actually a fire idea. Tangible rewards for doing well in classes.

If only school could be this good 🥲

I never had naptime in preschool/kindergarten. At this point I don't know if I was lucky not to be spoiled or unlucky not to get free sleep time.

Three memories i had from preschool were embarrassing. I threw up (a lot), bit through my toungue, and peed my pants 😅😅😂

Bro is goated!

What’s wild is that this one actually has some great policy recommendations

Could you also fix the transportation from school? Leaving school if you take the bus you get like no time to talk to teachers because the bus leaves super soon. Maybe there’s a 5-10 minute gap after the final period to do whatever you need to and then it’s proper dismissal? Attendance doesn’t count at that point so people being picked up by parents can just leave

I would be chilling at 3-4 every semester, it's easy stuff anyways

I seemed to really take the UK school system for granted… we already start school at nine!

For the whole Tier 3 and 4 thing, i think the work SHOULD still be required somewhat. Maybe everything automatically gets graded as a 70 (as an example, it’s the passing grade at my school), and you’d still be required to do tests, there’d be online stuff for the notes you need for the year so that way you’d have them at the ready for tests if you’re in tier 3 and 4. They’d only open for Tier 2 when they’re late for class, and for Tier 1 you’d have to do the notes in class or the tutoring sessions.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="280">4:40</a> As a person who’s school schedule starts at 9 I can officially say, ITS STILL HORRIBLE MAKE IT 10

My school started at 9, it’s the worst, you have no time to do anything before the sun goes down.

we had before and after school and specials like art,music,libray,guidence,and pe

*Scoff* I only had nap time in DAY CARE. No nap time in Kindergarten and beyond. I also have to get up at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="350">5:50</a> and put my alarm on to get enough time to get ready.

at my school it starts at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a>, and most people end up being able to finish work at about 12 or later, and are typically about 20 minutes away so they get at most 6 hours of sleep this is why i agree with nap time

i love how the most replayed part is at the end of the sponser segment XD

Believe it or not, I remember 5 things from preschool. •Jumping around with a squishy Hulk. •Stealing a carton of dinosaurs from the back. •Watching a minute of an old TV show I used to like in a room I wasn't supposed to be in. •Watching somebody cry on the steps for 5 minutes. •And finally... Scribbling a bunch of purple crayon all over my work assignment.

Three memories from preschool: -Getting way too goddamn hyped over borsch/beetroot soup during preschool Christmas (Still love it) -Hiding behind a curtain during music class, with noone noticing that I'm gone for several minutes (Still reflects how insignificant I am to most people today) -Crying because I didn't want strawberry sauce on a meal (I cried over almost everything) Bonus memories: -Heading down to the preschool's basement for a short class trip to see the kitchen -Being in a mini-planetarium set up in the middle of the main/entrance hall, watching in amazement -Picking up English words off the floor and trying to translate them to Polish (I'm polish) during English class -Running around the coathangers in the main/entrance hall -Shitting myself while trying to open a closet, and sitting back down in sheer panic hoping noone did or will notice (Breaking News: Everyone did) -Confessing to my puppy crush and getting laughed at -Being constantly hit and made fun of by the asshole I considered my best friend at the time and for a few years after until I found someone who let me see what being a best friend ACTUALLY is. Radek - go fuck yourself, Michał - I appreciate you more than you'll ever know -Being at a bonus lesson with a teacher(?) trying to teach me how to say R in Polish (I can't say R in Polish to this day, leading to many awkward situations)

Quick shout out to Marvin funding this for us all. We love you Marvin!❤️❤️❤️

Name 3 memories from preschool!? The day I was laying on the nap mat wondering why it was nap time when lunch hadn't even started yet The day I ate lunch at the only lunch table all by myself because I never followed the schedule The day we had a fire bell and I ran outside with dress up shoes on and got in trouble for it Though it was almost two decades ago I remember preschool like it was yesterday, didn't enjoy it as much as actual yesterday, but I still remember it.

The only thing is that I wake up 5am and wait for my bus when it’s 6am and start my class about 7am

fanfact: in our school we actually have something similar to the tiers of learning! we have 3 only, first one is good grades and behavior second one is good behavior and bad grades or good grades but bad behavior and third one is both bad, its mainly used in my class which is spacial class bc its smaller with more help lol

I agree, the schools should realistically just get more money for what they do, not get payed based on how many programs go really well, because that's just 1 or two teachers or coaches.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="530">8:50</a> 1- one time i was drawing a bit too late and caused everyone to eat the snacks the school had ready late 2- some girl i still want to punch spent all my gems in subway surfers >:( 3- i once got into the wrong classroom with full confidence i wasd in the right one 4- i one helped a kid and got laughed at, then punched the kid i helped for no reason

Very interesting and I agree! My school already starts a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="545">9:05</a>!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="280">4:40</a> My school which starts at 9 am : We're way ahead of you

I love how this all looks like a joke and he treats it as a joke, but every video he is just absolutely true and is actually making something objectively better.

You remind me of ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Plato believed that there was a perfect version of every eartly system, called a Form, that everyone should strive to achieve, and he wrote a book called "Republic", which were suggestions for a hypothetical alternate society where there were less problems. You find ways to improve systems too, although you do it with more trivial systems like the alphabet or timekeeping.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="242">4:02</a> my school started at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">8:00</a>pm EST/EDT and it was only elementary school

Random thing, in preschool I thought that kindergarten was in an actual garden

Ok why could all of these changes actually change the world for the better :0 (Well for the most part)

Three things I remember from kindergarten: That one time another girl hit my face with one of those plastic shovels, the time I first managed to swing without a grownups help and the time I sold like five buckets full of smooth filtrated sand.

I have an idea for the “if-the-teacher-doesn’t-have-any-more-material-for-that-day-you-can-leave” thing. If the teacher has something fun, you can’t leave cause it’s well, FUN.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="275">4:35</a> In Ciudad Real, School starts at 9.00

there also needs to be different classes for different learning styles, school usually just has classes for auditory, read&write and sometimes visual learners, but what about kinesthetic peeps. also the tiers aren't a great idea in my opinion because u shouldn't be punished for not learning enough, it's most likely not the kid's fault, more so the teacher's fault, for not teaching them how they learn. i think if all kid's had their ideal learning environment, a lot more people would be a lot more successful

This man turns himself into a god to make the world objectively better.

school literally starts at 9 here in Canada

i think the tier system will definitely sprout jealousy among the children and just lead to an unhealthy interaction between peers
