The education is not equal. In America, since the existence of racism, and the bad economic condition of some families. Their educational resources and facilities are allocated more to the rich kids and white kids. Those school with full equipped facilities usually are private school while the condition of the public school is much poor than private ones.

Because of the complete facilities and high-qualified teachers. The education quality in private school are way ahead the pubilc schools. Therefore, it is easy to find that those

Why should a good education be exclusive to rich kids? Schools in low-income neighborhoods across the US, specifically in communities of color, lack resources that are standard at wealthier schools -- things like musical instruments, new books, healthy school lunches and soccer fields -- and this has a real impact on the potential of students.

Every kid needs a champion

The relationship of human connection is significant. Children don’t learn from people they don’t like. So teacher should respect of all students even though they don’t have a good grades. The speaker said her experience was that when she first teach her students, she made the mistake of whole classes. The next time when she teach her students, she just admit her mistakes and apologise to her students. This behaviour can also teach her students. Anyone who has made a mistake need to admit it and apologise in their future life. Encourage is also very important. Telling yourself you are the best, you are the best student and show other classes how to do it. Your saying will be a part of you.

Teaching and learning can also bring joy. Your can learn the knowledge that you never know before. Your can also find some interesting things during your learning. How powerful would the teacher would be if a student was not afraid to take risks, who was not afraid to think and who had a champion. Every child deserves a champion. Adults never give up on them who understand the power of connection and insist that they become the  best they can possibly be. That is possible.

What happens in your brain when you pay attention?
Mehdi Ordikhani-Seyadlar
Our attention is pulled in so many different directions at a time. It is also about what information our brain is trying to filter out.

There are two ways you direct your attention.First, there is overt attention. U move your eyes towards something in order to pay attention to it.  Then is covert attention, without moving your eyes. Based on brain patterns we can build models for the computers. Based on these models computers can recognize how well our brain functions.

In a experiment, there are two flickering squares with different flick rates. People are asked to looking in the middle of the screen without moving their eyes. Both of these flickering rates appeared in their brain signals. But only one of them, which was paid attention to, has stronger signals.So there were something in our brain which was handling this information, so that thing in the brain was basically the activation of the frontal area. The front part of your brain is responsible for higher cognitive functions as a human. The frontal part is seems that it works as a filter trying to let information come in only from the right flicker and trying to inhibit the information coming from the ignored one.

The child- driven education
Sugata Mitra

We always considered that education is led by the teachers, and teachers are playing important roles in the education system. Due to teachers always being a position of irrigating knowledge, and students always accept them without persistence. While the research shows that nowadays education system has turned into the child-driven mode. The researchers set computers in the developing areas of India, just on the street, linking with the internet. It is interesting that they find the children who never have access to the internet can properly learn and use it, and even teach others. Furthermore, they try to install the computers in the poor village, with the further steps of the searches, the children in this village can use the computers by theirselves and they can even record a song and show around. It is a fabulous thing, someone even declare that teachers affection is desalinating and desalinating. Albite, it's just a research happened in India, and the children do not get harm for the internet. All the experiments are doing with controlled scenes. However, the research inspires us a lot indeed, the education ought to change according to children themselves and their learning desire.

What we learn before we are born
Annie
This talk focus on what  we learn before we were born. Surprisingly and implausibly, we started our learning journey before we were born, it means we has already begun to learn this world before we entered it.
During two decades of years, a scientific subject called “ Fetal origin” has been grown and developed. It’s aim is to explore the relationship between fetus and pregnant women. It turns out that our health and well-being throughout the whole life is closely affected by the nine months we spent in womb. Not noly our sound, smell but also our accent and personality can be shaped before we start our life.
For example, fetus can easily recognise their mothers ‘voices as soon as they were born. Compared with other voices which need to travel through abdominal tissue and amniotic fluid

Learning from dirty jobs
Mike Rowe

This video talks about the things that the speaker has learned from dirty jobs. Because of a TV program, he needed to do something that he had never done before, they required him to cut off some goats’ spermaries(?) It seems like an impossible task for him, but he did it eventually.
At the beginning, he looked what the others do, he thinks it was a little bit cruel, and he would like to choose another method. Then, the man domestrats(?) another way to him. But he found the first goat had already been hemostasised, and  it looked good,rather than it ,the second one walked shakily and it looked very pain. From this comparation (sp), I know that you can not judge a thing only from your thinking, it can be often? be the opposite from what you think. It is better to have short sharp pains than long dull pains. Sometimes we can not hesitate, we must make decisions immediately,i f we do not, it may make many problems in our later life.
Another important thing is we should treat every job/type of work equally, they are the same; all the people expend their efforts, so we should respect them rather than laugh at them.

My green school dream
John hardy grew up in a small village in Canada. But he is an undiagnosed dyslexic. He had a really hard time in school. So he came to Bali when he was 25 years old. And married with wonderful women and had a great jewelry business for 20 years. He decide to spend his rest of live to do this work, build a green school.

This school is not like a school. Because the classrooms don’t have walls, and teachers write on a bamboo blackboard . The classrooms have natural light. So it’s very beautiful. People also build the green house around school. So they can walk to school. And the sidewalk is made without patrol chemical. The fence made of tapioca, some kids take them to the kitchen and make the delicious cripes. Additionally, the crow in school is trying to replace the lawnmower.

The students in there know the rice culture few people don’t know. They know how to plant the organic rice and these skill will be valuable in the future. People also cook without gas in there, so it’s a real green school. The buildings are all made by bamboo, because the bamboo can grow to the same high like the coconut trees in  3 months. They using age old techniques and almost made by hand. The building may not be the biggest bamboo building, but many people believe that it’s the most beautiful.

What happens when our computers get smarter than we are?
The speaker said that computers are getting smarter than us, and this could be both a challenge and an opportunity. The reason why super technology computers provide opportunities is that they can bring us more convenience, even solve the hard mathematical problems which we can’t solve yet. If we want to maximise the use of high level technology, we need to take on high risk and challenge at the same time. So the most tough thing to do is to control super technology computers. Our brain is limited by the size of our heads, while the computers can be as big as the warehouse. Our neurotransmission speed is limited at 100meters per second, but the information transmission speed can be as fast as light. As a consequence, if the technology was led by a wrong command, it would bring a disaster to us without doubt.The computers will only finish the command in the most effective and fastest way instead of a humanized, for example, if we want the computers make us laugh, the low level computers will tell us some jokes, while the super technology computers will use the most effective way which is to use electricity to simulate the muscles on our face to keep us laugh.
After all we need to take both general and detailed measures to control the super technology computers before them smarter than us.

How to inspire every child to be a lifelong reader.

This speaker's mom always let him do some read in dinner table while his friends played outside, although his reading skills is improved, he thinks these forced reading lessons didn't exactly inspire a love for reading. When he was in high school, he decided he would no longer allow other people to dictate when and what he read. Then he find a key to help children read--Identity.
According to the US Department Education more than 85% of black male fourth graders are not proficient in reading. Educator and Phliosopher Paula Freire thinks education should be two ways, students shouldn't be viewed as empty buckets to be filled with facts but as cocreator of knowledge. The young black boys who have never seen a black man reading or never had a black man encourage him to read. So speaker created the Barbershop Books to encourage children to read, that creat child-friendly reading spaces in barber shops to help young black boys identify as readers, he thinks we need incorporate relevant male reading models into early literacy, dismantling the savage inequalities that plague American Education , require us to creat experience that inspire all children to say 3 words: I'm a reader.

Teachers need real feedback
Bill Gates
The talk focuses on the idea that teachers need more feedback to become better. Bill Gates thinks the most important job is teacher but over 98% of teachers just get one same word from their feedback. It is difficult for them to know who is better or what they are different from others.
Then he analyzed why Shanghai’s schools rank first in all aspects, he thought the reason is just helping teachers to improve their skills. Schools in Shanghai give younger teachers chances to look at master teachers at work. Apart from that, they have weekly study group in order to get together and work. What’s more, they also observe and give feedback to their colleagues to improve together.
As for why a system like the one of Shanghai is important, Bill Gates thought there is so much viariation in the teaching profession. Therefore, we all need a system help all teachers be as good as the best.
Then he showed us some methods which his country havimplemented to improve teachers’ skills. One is to let observers watch videos of teachers during the class in order to see how they did in class. Another is to make students fill out a survey to make some suggestions. After that, most of their teachers think these methods are quite helpful to them.
