Last week our new teacher, Greg, showed me a YouTube channel with tons of good material called The School of Life. Here’s a video we can work with. As always (I sound like a broken record), watch first without subtitles to work on your listening.
(0:08) What is the purpose of education? In your opinion, do schools do this?
(0:37) What is necessary to improve education?
(1:04) What subjects should be on the new curriculum? Why? What would you add to this curriculum?
(2:49) Who would be involved? When and where?
How is the curriculum changing here? What did you learn when you went to school, and what to kids learn now? What is different in university education between North America and here?
