Just watched it, very inspirational. The "swarm" part is kinda exaggerated by the way. :p Anyway Bill Gates has such a great attitude towards solving these problems in the world, I am very happy he's so passionate in doing what he does, his approaches seem very realistic and helpful. | ||

What he said is really true though. Good teachers need to be rewarded more, and bad teachers need to be punished :/ | ||

For those of you who don't know, letting the mosquitoes provides for a "memorable" experience. If you just talk a lot, people probably won't remember you, but everybody will remember the mosquitoes. What he said is really true though. Good teachers need to be rewarded more, and bad teachers need to be punished :/ Uhm I don't think that's what he said. He said that there are good ways for teachers to improve by analyzing what they do wrong and right. If you start punishing teachers you're definately not going to reach the desired effect of improvement. Even rewards tend to have a bad influence on intrinsic motivation which is counterproductive. Making teachers aware of their competence level is what's important, and maybe reward them based on that, but punishment is unethical and counterproductive. | ||

however, schools tend to fire teachers based on the amount of time they have spent with that school. So even if you are a great teacher, if you've only been there for a year, the guy that's been there for like 10 years yet teaches like crap will get preference over you. | ||
