Totally true School forces you to be good at something you are not good at and make you fell less confident by measuring your “intelligence” with some grades School creates workers not businessmen Comment from : @paolotamayo2758

My math is so bad…and IM ASIAN?! Comment from : @Earoxiah_YT

You are lucky to find your passion in tech what about other stuff and people Comment from : @HajraSeyed

One thing is I know is that many kids who did math in their head without showing work were forced to show work and due to that fact, their cognitive fluidity is molded into being much slower now Also, because of this, you’re not training your brain to store and computate longer and more complex problems You’re spoiling your own brain by extending these ideas into the physical world Comment from : @rainbowrollsz9527

School tells us that (yada yada yada) will lead us to a successful life Youtubers merely existing defies that entirely Ironic, isnt it?A teenager on a social platform having more of a gdp than a fking company Not a dream no more! Comment from : @TulipGupta-l7u

Nah but like Frank is goated for helping this guy build a company so we can listen to this Comment from : @legitlegendprlegitlegendpr9102

Not like I needed any more reasons to homeschool my kid Comment from : @Kulkogo

Guess what your looking in a specific pixel not the full picturethe full pictire is not just books is also social life Comment from : @Issah-z1t

In my own opinion, I've learnt alot from school and I hear what your saying but school is not just abt knowledge but also of socialising, making friendships and communication with others Comment from : @LillyHay-c5j

School teachs us things that we don't really need to life, yeah we learnt them cuz we have to college but actually we don't need them Comment from : @IslombekNishonboyev-q6m

Only people who fail at school agree to what this guy is saying brA teacher at school guides you to learn it's left for you to choose how you learn brEither memorization or intuitively brI have experienced what he's saying till i got the idea of choosing how i want to learn Comment from : @SundayLucky-q5h

I sent this too my best friend who struggles with the school curriculum and she replied and i quote “ i 100 agree with this I thinks schools also take away your survival intelligence because they are always teaching long formulas and written annotations that to do a task like surviving would be much more difficult than it naturally should be because we have become so used to long, planned and perfect sequenced answers “ Comment from : @The_dobbinator7

I learn more in YouTube and google than schools fr Comment from : @MrAbsolute2468

Schools do not make people less intelligent because the purpose of school is not to increase intelligence but to benefit from your intelligence This explains why there are good people in school and bad people because of their intelligence Intelligence is not to force you to do something, but rather to do it and try to benefit after you have tried it, even if the experiment fails In short, intelligence is doing any experiment in any subject and benefiting from that experiment, no matter how successful or unsuccessful it is This means that if the experiment fails, intelligence means you must know the reason for the failure and not despair and lose hope If the experiment succeeds, you must know the reason for the success and not go and rejoice without knowing the reason for the joy This is intelligence Comment from : @كما_قال

I'm learning at my own,when the teachers gave us the lesson Im just researching, watching in YouTube and note taking just to know what to answer's in the quizzes, recitation and exambrYou know the feeling your just studying/learning the lessons just because of grades not because of the knowledge that gave to usbrI thought before if you moving up your grade level you can just forget the past lesson you have learned until one of my teacher thought us that our knowledge should increase that we should not forget the past lesson that we learned Comment from : @NorhayaEsmail-i6l

Because of school i learn how to cheat,fake smile,lie,lazy at home and focusing only in study br i felt pressure,stress,anxiety depressed,lonely,scared to fail because of what people around me would say and i think i having ADHD symptoms because of focusing to much in study Comment from : @NorhayaEsmail-i6l

As a psychologist, I can say that it's not the school's fault for this happening but puberty These kids mocking him didn't think it was a bad idea they just wanted to fit in Comment from : @janindusmind4489

"Your ideas on fostering emotional intelligence in kids at 6:00 are spot on! This video was so informative" Comment from : @EvolvingKidsChannel

POOR KIDS ARE MADE INTO SERVENTS SO RICH KIDS CAN RULE THEM ITS THE ROYAL WAY Comment from : @GEORGETHOUPI

HI Comment from : @Thegreatmusk

Thisi is titled how school makes kids less intelligent, but there is nothing in this talk that shows how or proves this message It only says taht our speaker became a success without a formal conventional education Congratulations but there is no logical argument here about school dumbing kids down which it does! This just shows that one can be successful without the degrees Comment from : @josephtein3835

Amazing talk Eddy Zhong!!! that is why my son, almost 16, has been in homeschooling for 4 years now! Comment from : @mesegatini9199

All teachers always tell you how important school for your life is, and after so many years of school I finally realized that it’s a big waste of time Because of school I stopped being creative, I’ve given up my dreams and hobbies, I am stressed and literary lazy So thank you school for teaching me how to procrastinate and destroying my life The school system needs to change! Comment from : @FAZ1516

you have a bachelors degree in Engineering Comment from : @salemwitchoftheeast

Ouch I'm in 12th is that mean🙂 Comment from : @sadia_tiku

You left no stone unturned Comment from : @hipmugger5952

90 of the things which are taught in school aren't useful in the real world, while 90 of the things which are useful in the real world aren't taught in school (what's the purpose of education? according to school education means mugging up subjects, giving test, if u pass u are successful, if u fail u are a worthless) Comment from : @Pransi7

Who watching in 2026-2027 Comment from : @nizahum7812

No one has ever changed the world by doing what the world has told them to do Comment from : @FarzanaRahman-ms1fp

We need to stop the system before it gets passed on to our kids and wastes their life Comment from : @Josephlopez724

School is testing us by ability to climb the tree, not get smarter Comment from : @Quân-x1v

Of course they become less intelligent, that's why in the UK they call it "Lessons" - Less On Comment from : @fredwest8896
