John Hunter: Teaching with the World Peace Game


TED 2011
John Hunter: Teaching with the World Peace Game (script)
Summary
We adults should listen to the message of the speaker and deeply take it. The message is that we have left this world to our children in such a sad and terrible shape. We have to apologize and stop the situation. Anyone would think how arrogant adults are. It's because they additionally hope that children can fix it.
However, children started seeking the answer head and solving world problems when they knew that the teacher couldn't teach them because the teacher didn't know the answer. Even it's a game, but their spontaneous compassion is created from unexpected places and unpredictable things.
He thought that still our modern world, it's not necessary for students just to teach and lecture. They have to be able to feel learning through their own bodies. It doesn't need to control also. There's a trust, understanding and a dedication to an ideal.
Those lead for children to picking up a critical thinking tool or creative thinking tool and leverage something good for the world. This is the poewer to change the world.
