The most underrated TED speech ever. A storytelling masterclass in 17 minutes.
I second that !
That was a nice video. Has been searching for months regarding guidance about people management and delegation. You can easily relate Dicks class room experiences to real world and also you can easily remember the story whenever you are in tricky situation.Thanks Dicks.
Wonderful, most insightful talk on teaching I have ever heard!!
wow! what a joy to discover this 7 years after it was presented!
As someone who directed The Completed Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), this is brilliant, and as a proponent of independent learning and entrusting students to do more, this is fantastical.
Mr Dicks, Thank you for reminding me of how much I enjoyed being a Home Day Care Provider in the 80s AND for reminding me why I loved it. Kids are brilliant!! They just need a safe place to explore and discover how brilliant they are. 💞
I hope your talk inspires generations of teachers and parents.
Amazing on so many levels !!!
Great story and lesson!!!!
Mr. Dicks probably made the right choice teaching second grade and not high school. I also look forward to learning from him as soon as I finish this comment
Edit: fantastic
awesome
that is my teacher
Lucky you ❤️
That one thumbs down was from the person who paid 50 bucks for that lawn mower.

Hahaha! "This won't work. It's double sided and it's stapled. It's gonna fall apart."
exactly- delegation is best in teamwork to see magic
That was good....not sure it would work every time,...but worth a try. 0:47
