You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.

Teaching in Samoa -- good grades vs. good people: Jessica Baker at TEDxL...


TEACHING IN SAMOA- GOOD GRADES V.S GOOD PEOPLE: JESSICA BAKER

"You can't teach or measure kindness and empathy on a test."

"We need to abandon this idea that all people can be judged off of their test scores."

"Stop teaching to the test and start teaching to the kids."

"It's time we start valuing kindness, empathy, community, over academic success."

"There is more to life than numbers."
