In this 17-minute TEDxYouth talk, marketing guru Seth Godin delivers a passionate manifesto on rethinking education, arguing that the industrial-age school system churns out compliant workers rather than creative dreamers, urging a shift toward fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and individuality over rote obedience—viewed over 1.5 million times by March 2025, it’s a provocative call to stop stifling kids’ potential.
Invest 16 minutes and 57 seconds in some interesting ideas about what school is for and what the future of education should look like.
If you don’t have the time to watch, YouTube commenter Jay Scott Anderson summed up Seth’s message about what schooling should look like:
- Homework by day, lectures by night.
- No memorization.
- No predetermined course order.
- Precise, focused education.
- Experience based.
- Coach not teacher.
- Lifelong learning.
- No brand name colleges.
