- Students are thriving when schools go back to tradition and prioritise "the authority of the adult" according to UK headmistress and educator Katharine Birbalsingh.
Great Job! Except I wouldn't call our modern education system progressive, instead I'd call it regressive.
svatinek like a lot of other words today, the word "progressive" doesn't mean what it once used to mean.
Katharine Birbalsingh is brilliant, strong and beautiful.
I'm proud to have her as my headmistress 😌
Poor you.
It's called DISCIPLINE - something that Western schools haven't seen in decades.
@@wendylim1936 It has nothing to do with immigration and I doubt you have any supporting evidence. It is the failure of government schools.
@Andrew Gisler
I do not wish to argue with you.
But this show is quite obviously about the children of immigrants from mainly nonwhite background or so-called disadvantaged. As another writer rightly put it, the students have only themselves to be blamed if they
failed to perform despite given every opportunity to do so.
Also, it is quite possible that government schools may be unable to cope with too many demanding nonwhites communities from mainly nonwhite immigrants
background with disciplinary and behavioral problems originating from their third world countries/societies.
@@wendylim1936 "The fact is an uncontaminated Western societies tend to be more well disciplined and better behaved." Nope. In UK Children from White working classes perform the worst. As they have always done. You are quite simply a racist.
@AminTheMystic
I am just stating a fact. Stop harassing me .
I am not a racist. You are the one that is racist.
Those nonwhites only appear to perform slightly better under their oppressive authoritarian culture.
That is not real achievement or something to be proud of.
Why are those nonwhite migrants invading White countries to have an education (and taking away all the resources that was created by Western countries) if you said White children from working class perform worst?
I am also stating a fact that nonwhites tend to be brutal, oppressive, unfair, deceptive, lacked decency in their quite quest to achieve anything. Achieving something by fair and decent means and not taking away all the resources belonging to poor White children and not bleeding us dry with all sorts of scams or irrational demands for funding should be the way.
If you want discipline and structure for your son send your kid to a traditional English or Afrikaans boy school in South Africa.Uniforms, short hair, hierarchy amongst the students where older boys are granted more privileges over the younger ones as they've done more for the school. Kids stand and greet adults when they walk past. Sport is compulsory at the school where you have practice on average 3 times a week and then play a match on the weekend against another school. Tough when you start, gets better as you get older. but it buildd real pride for your school and unshakable camaraderie with your peers.
When I was at school, I was one of the shy ones, and both the teachers and my parents adopted a "just leave him alone, and some time, and it will be fine" attitude.
I felt unwanted and invisible. The most popular ones dominate the "scene's", while others like me were put aside to collect dust. That I was teased didn't matter either. Nobody cared.
When I joined a martial art club, I found dicipline, structure and a fixed set of rules of behaivour, which applied to EVERYONE. And the more time I spent with them, the more I liked it.
Children need structures, something that will shape them into good people as they grow up, not all this "do whatever you want" culture.
Just like Cobra Kai
That’s a great story and example. Glad you found that particular club 😊
When you have high expectations of children, they rise to the challenge. Children do what you expect of them. If you think they're losers they'll fulfil your expectation. If you treat them seriously they'll take themselves seriously.
What a magnificent woman, her school rejects the notion of feeling sorry for yourself, and proves that every one of us can be successful. All that it takes is a lot of application and the guidance of those who genuinely care for us. She totally disproves the notion that poor and/or disadvantaged children have no hope. I know that God will continue to bless her in her work of bringing out the best in these children.

Katharine Birbalsingh should the education minister in Briton
I went to a school like this we need to go back to the way it was too much social engineering climate marches etc
Same but I got to this school
I'm from this school
Katharine Birbalsingh reminds me of every committed and caring teacher I had in high school in the 1970s. The push back against the lunatics running education seems to have started in England. May the contagion spread quickly around the Anglosphere.
Yes. It's the expectation of self-discipline, security, 'doing better' and respect. That's 'love' in an educational way.
Shes my head teacher
Children will live down to your expectations. Modern progressive schools have very low expectations. Raise your expectations and the children will eagerly follow.
Wow, now that's a teacher!
I'll bet none of her students went on strike.
I did indeed Imao
Excellent it is time she is copied nationwide
What an inspirational lady.
Is it though ? Just teaching kids to behave and follow orders ? I guess they’ll make good soldiers
Children can't learn in chaos.
Yes but tiny school (this one we can
In my I mean
I wish this woman had a school in Australia, I'd send my kid there in a heartbeat
It's too strict I go here
@@naz-yk6rm
That's good for you, you'll understand it once you grow up buddy.
Her interview on The Rubin Report was excellent.
Really supportive of this woman and her mission.
Lol. I love this woman. She nails it!
The results speak for themselves
Another example of how hard work and consistency can yield outstanding academic results. So obvious.
The world had gone crazy! Why would anyone want to create problems for such a school and the children when they are getting such wonderful results?!
watch her interview on Dave Rubin, she's amazing. (I don't think she technically identified as a "conservative" back then), and damn she is still just as powerful as I remember her. amazing woman!!
whoever wrote the headline might want to attend for a while.
Standing ovation for this woman! Back to basics, discipline, structure and a preparedness to accept responsibility as a teacher instead of outsourcing teaching to the kids! Clone her and put her in charge of every indoctrination (oops, education) department across Australia and watch kids thrive instead of being encouraged to live in a state of victimhood and disempowerment.
The problem is that we can’t do that. We would be fired in the long term.
Well done madam.More power to your elbow I say.Reminds me of my school days 1946.
What an amazing woman, - all headteachers should follow her example.
"Children will use any excuse to take a day off school."
Thank you.
Her description of the difference between the old way of teaching and the modern way is just reminiscent of the TLM versus Norvus Ordo. Tradition does work.
Who'd a thunk the classical way of learning would actually work. It is worth pointing out that schools in the Asian tiger nations...Japan, S. Korea, Singapore...is quite strict, with uniforms and grooming rules being the norm, and results are excellent.
I wonder if they spelt "achieving" wrong in the title to see if anyone would notice?
Alethea I'd like to say yes, but I think it really is just another symptom of the lack of care that abounds nowadays.
Great move,it takes a black lady to introduce old fashioned ideas, harder to call her a fascist or a bigot.
Hopefully the more conservative minorities start to stand up and be counted.
Another backward, oppressive method that is meant to dumb us down.
@Kish shiv
She could be part black, though she's certainly part Sikh (Indian or Pakistani).
Haha they DO call
Her fascist and a bigot!
You know somebody’s got it down when everything they say sounds absolutely obvious, simple and self-evident.
That is a sign of absolute mastery over a subject.
Disadvantaged does not equal stupid. As with all things, there is no black and white. I grew up in the same 'radical' system this woman is promoting. I agree that children by and large need an adult to direct them. However I think that system dismantled because some adults handed that authority were outright abusive. That system also caused a lot of angst for kids who simply were incapable of sitting in that fully structured system, adhd kids for example. It was that system that beat my good friend over the knuckles for needing to use her left hand. That effectively destroyed her development and self worth for life. Of course now it has gone the opposite way and the education system is pretty stuffed, depending where it is. The biggest thing now is flatlining all the kids to the lowest intellectual denominator, and diminishing the bright ones by making them serve the poorly behaved or less able. No funds are given to bolster the gifted. My kids were often used as teacher aides in class rather than being given more challenging work.
So the best of both systems should be combined.
@Melissa jones
Being nonwhites does not equal being disadvantaged when they have so much resources in their third world or developing countries as well as so much resources given to them in Western countries in their quest to spread their oppressive culture from their third world societies.
Good.... I rember she took a load of lefty abuse.
Thank You Katharine! You are right on the correct timeline, we need more teachers like you!
Everything begins with discipline. Without it nothing is achieved
.
I agree. But at Michaela, the distinction between discipline and punishment has been blurred.
Top lady well done
Well said sister. You are beautiful 💞
Awsum lady ... class act ..... quality ... quality ..... quality ..... this is what the future needs ... wonderful news
I want a back to old school movement in this land.
Put THIS lady up to guide education policy!
All the gender benders and race hustlers should be ashamed of their narrative.
Take a page from her book.
Incredible woman,
Well said. A good model for all nations to investigate. U.S. schools used to do this, now many of our teachers are frustrated and the students are paying the price. And because of the way they set up their classrooms, with students facing each other, they wonder why kids don't focus more. Can't blame everything thing on video games. A return to tradition would be a good thing.
Amazing!!! Give so much hope ❤
Well done. A voice of reason, wisdom and common sense amongst the babble. The pendulum is swinging. Yay!
This lady gets it!
And then, after all her hard work, they go to universities that will destroy truth and thinking.
A very wise woman.
Lucky kids. They are going to be prepared.
This woman should open up a teacher's college to train teachers across other nations (US, Canada, Australia) in her method as we are falling so far behind academically, and wasting so much school time on nonsense.
Well done that Lady.
Why haven't we got a politician like this woman...
I'm studying English Education in Korea at the moment and I find this very interesting. Ideas about how schools should be run and what kind of expectations/hope we should have are very important. There are many things I agree with in what she's saying, but I don't think classes have to always be just rows where everyone is facing the teacher. I think if a teacher does things really well they can help facilitate group and peer learning and there are many benefits to that as well. Of course you have to watch out for bullies and help the shier kids. Most teacher's are in a system as well and can't do exactly as they want, for various reasons. I also think that "better teaching" could come if being a teacher was a very respected job that paid pretty well. (I have lots of thoughts on this, but it's just a UA-cam comment so I'll refrain haha)
The modern education system of the UK is to keep unemployment figures low.
True learning is the interplay of practical and theory - not just theory on top of theory.
What matters now is people specialize early, take on in demand skills and keep improving those skills to push innovation if possible or at least to keep up with it.
The old system of education, even with harsh discipline is slower than the pace of innovation.
I love Sky News Australia. I wish we had something similar in the UK.
Well done and sticking to what is rightfully proper ways do things that will result better for the kids develop well individually. Not end up blaming everyone else of the problems of their own making!
Curbing the ego in kids will serve them well for a lifetime!
Strictness used logically for a logical reason? Is a formula that puts student optimally ready to face the harsh world and resilient to whatever the world throws at them and humbly try to learn the lessons that goes with it!
Tho, it. doesnt gaurantee success for all students (mostly) but learning how to pick themselves up to any failure? Is the ultimate feat a teacher can achieve without any regrets since that is the real reason and purpose of a true teacher (instructor)!
The great teacher is something else..... they are more like Yoritomo Tashi's work on how to develop Common Sense and the daily practice in applying it thru the rest of your natural life. I. Kant work on the critique of reason and judgement was as great! These things will take a lifetime to study or grasp its monumental worth! It can not be rushed... it should be digested gradually and any effort forcing yourself to it? ...is futile and waste of time since it self defeating why? That is a question that one should answer it for themselves ; )
Just a nudge in pushing the envelop forward....for a cause that deliver practical and applicable results for knowing how to do the right things the right way in the midst of rabid barbarism of the leftist mentality.... thats cherry on top! ; )
Awesome awesome awesome awesome video.
God I love BOTH of these women! I always love it when people you admire meet.
Katharine is intelligent and articulate
A very beautiful lady
There's a more subversive reason for group learning. It's deemed a transforming practice by its supporters. The teachers form the groups by placing the under performers with the better students and their work as marked as a team. The forces the stronger students to carry the weaker or else be penalised (it normalises this obligation), it teaches the under performers that a crutch will be provided for them, and in the long run establishes the idea a collective approach is the appropriate one. Further, since students are more influenced by peer pressure, teachers construct groups and manoeuver/maipulate them to behave in ways that buttress collectivist goals. For example, if the school defines a goal of equity, the energies and resources will be devoted to that end including shaping team behavior to achieve the objective.
This agenda is not isolated at local, regional, or even national level. Take a look at all the international organisations advocacy of it. Not only the UN, which one might expect, but also the OECD, World Bank, and other supposedly capitalist organisations have been subverted by progressive academics to push forward a far leftist (progressive) agenda bent on toppling the strengths of the West in favour of the "global south" agenda, the eradication of the individual and his/her rights, of ending competition, risk taking, and other "deviant" behaviours that run afoul of collectivist goals.
Just say you hate poor people and love ancapistan.
You're not billgates mate. Stop speaking for him.
She will change these kids lives in the most positive remarkable way.
My kids are shocked when I tell them we used to get caned at school, it teaches discipline and respect, something that is lacking in today's youth.
@A W Grow up? I'm not the one being salty about discipline.
"Child abuse is okay"
I love this woman! Please come out to OZ and run our schools !!!
This is what all schools where like on the UK in the 90s, I know I went to 4 UK Schools in Scotland and England.
Funny all these Indian black women just identify with "Black", ...and not Indian.
I go to Michaela community school
This lady is fucking great.
back to common sense
I LOVE THIS WOMAN.
There’s no school like old school
hi posting from the U.S. How can these children feel safe when you just got finished saying that every day they are harassed by mean kids from other schools who are threatening them with knives
8.48 so true
She will have a movie made about her one day!
The kids are brainwashed it is sad
I don't even have kids, but if in a near future I do. I'll make everything possible to send them there, despite me living outside of the UK (Spain).
I’d love to too but cannot send to a Muslim majority school. No matter how good the school is.
@@kr50401
So, if a school has a bunch "brown" kids. It automatically turns into a "muslim" school?
Dafuq is that logic of yours?
An aboriginal person who was educated at a Christian mission school stands out as literate, hard-working and moral. Funny that.
Baillou high school UK edition
She is spot-on with regards to her zero-tolerance no-excuses discipline policy. However, I dislike the Brave New World rigidity of her philosophy. Using the worst examples of the inner-city schools we have both worked in, she is an arch polarizer. (Couldn't help but think of 'Animal Farm' and it's 'Four legs good, two legs bad' mantra - progressives bad, traditionalists good). Too many schools in the UK ARE as bad as she says they are, and they won't change until they, like Katharine, get serious about effective discipline and quality teaching. The best private and state schools enable teachers to teach bell-to-bell lessons, and their students achieve outstanding exam results and well-balanced youngsters. Michaela regards any teacher who doesn't conform 100% to the "Michaela Way" as unsuitable and probably not good enough for them. I have enjoyed an ultra-successful career, and I haven't given a detention for the last 17 years. I correct students every day and inspire them - I certainly don't crush them.
The Michaela way is a tad Janus-faced insofar as its teachers tell you that they love the kids, but it is certainly not unconditional love. If the children disobey the rules even slightly, they are punished for it EVERY time in the name of consistency. Love includes understanding, compassion, and forgiveness. The Michaela Way would work superbly in China, though not so well in Tunbridge Wells or Merseyside. Michaela has had its kids since Year 7, and that's why it works so well. The students have been drilled in the Michaela Way from Day One. Katharine carefully recruits teachers who wouldn't even dream of rocking the boat.
Teachers also need the freedom to teach a curriculum in ways that deliver results and creates a 'healthy' learning environment. Katharine has achieved remarkable results - she deserves credit and a CBE for that - and I admire her passion and work ethic, but ultimately she has swung too far to the right. As a teacher, my greatest guides are Jesus Christ, Confucius, and Aristotle. Between the progressive Left and the Bootcamp Right, I have discovered - thanks to Aristotle - educational virtue. If you want to know more about my views on quality secondary education, feel free to respond.
Most schools in UK are already doing what you have suggested and we have had consistently bad results. So we should continue doing the same thing as you suggested and keep on failing the children.
@@jahmehkanhorn1063 Most schools? How do you know that? Hundreds of schools do extremely well without recourse to the 'Michaela Way'. These schools aren't 'failing the children'. Are you a teacher/educator?
@@JLaw954 how do we know. Been in schools in Uk for over 30 years so I do know what I see on the ground. Therefore I do not have to buy into the propaganda that people like you want to propagate. It’s people like you in schools with low expectations of black and white working class boys and your attitude that all is well with the system that constantly churn out all these failures . However it makes it easy for people like you to feed all kind of leftist woke propaganda into their heads because they have never learnt to think and explore. Or they are in such low paid jobs that no one cares what they think or what they want.
We see it yet once again. There is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher.
U mean bad student cause teachers have degrees and grades to show for it
What about bad parents?
I wish more schools would return to tradition! This is great.
In a world built on lies, what are they being taught?
unpluged they've gone back to basics.
Well done Michaela.
As someone who studied in the same kind of environment my entire educational life , the downside is that this kind of teaching KILLS creativity !
You turn up to become like a robot who sees world in black and white or wrong and right .
There is no room in between.
So what research have you done to determine that the creativity of her students have been killed? Or how have you determined there are no ways to improve creativity with in this type of teaching? Please, don't be negative to something you don't understand.
@@iberedemobot857 I think you need read the comments properly.
I told you I studied in the same environment.
When I look back at my peers, and others from the same school or other schools in that era , I can see that we were only programmed to concentrate on achieving a goal which was set by the institution.
We had no room or time to use our imagination to be creative.
@@iberedemobot857 why is it that western countries are more productive and come up with new ideas ,while Eastern countries always copy west??
Because the workload and discipline is enormous in their early education system.
@@iberedemobot857 and just to explain creativity to you .
Creativity means to think outside the box.
Example, Simon Cowell, who wasn't good at school,and was mischievous. Yet he created X Factor and .... and the whole world followed.
Or footballers ,or sportsmen, or actors or ......
How many (world famous) are Indian or South Korean or Japanese compare to western??
The only reason why this school has good grades is cause if ur not good enough for their standards then ur kicked out
You are incorrect. Michaela is a non-selective school and they have only had to expel a handful of students, fewer than the national average. What they do is expect the best of their students and give them the teaching and tools to get there
She is tyrannical.
Good,children need that

Is that spelling of achievement correct?
Next ask...By WHOSE METRICS?
Question everything!!!
It’s a way of transferring responsibility, as a facilitator of education, your not responsible for the results. Poor performance is the child’s fault. Hence, there is no accounting for the results!
🤣 I want to hate her ,yet hate to say that I am kind of liking her
I know righttt
Guess we'll see how a return to a schooling style designed to facilitate creating workers for an industrial society works out as they enter an economy rapidly shifting towards one based heavily in knowledge, information and creativity.
Migrant backgrounds.. well yeah there’s an emphasis on education in those households.. and the British education system🙄. They’re lucky to go to school 4 days a week the funding is so skint. So no wonder the averages are so low (40% less school hours)
That’s Conservatism for you 🤦🏻♂️
I am unsuscribing from your news who are promoting dictartorship education I can see where you are going with your philosophy- the problems is not the children- the problems is the way we live and society as a whole
are you high ? your comment makes no sense whatsoever
Yes, those kids looked SO oppressed. Give me a break. I went to an inner London school back in the 90s and teachers would often lose control of the classroom. That didn't help me at all. Adults rule in school. End of.
lol keep your thinking up and all the migrant kids will shoot past your kids
No they are teaching the children just how children should be taught. The progressive system is destroying our kids.
Dressed neat and tidy, paying attention in class, being taught how to learn.
Yasira Osiris yeah I wouldn’t be knocking any educational system until you can spell dictatorship!! Progressives have turned the education system into a mess. Only idiots let children run the show.
