Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today we-ll explore the history of education as a social institution, with a specific focus on how the US organizes its educational system. We-ll look at education through the lenses of some sociological paradigms: structural functionalist approaches (including some of the manifest and latent functions associated with education, and a symbolic interactionist approach to education that shows us how self-fulfilling prophecies in educational settings contribute to differences in academic outcomes for students.

you can't talk about a social institution focused on influencing and directing cultural norms within a society without talking about money. And it is a societal norm to acquire debt to build credit. Our economy runs on capital and so does our education, and our society revolves around capital and money to buy homes, buy cars, build and spend credit. our parents are educated enough to say hey your going to school, to get a job afterwards to play in this big monopoly game. IF you don't have an education, you don't have money, and without money you can't be a productive member of society. consuming, investing, building or creating. ugh. can anyone help me say this better. education is amazing. how else would we pass information from generation to generation. but i would argue that money is creating stability and education is just common sense to get an education. get a skill. work. save. spend. own.

I was always indifferent to the pledge. It was just somethin u did, until I just stopped one day. Most ppl who are educated didn't even know about the electoral college. How does public school help with teaching u to vote? U don't need school for that. And we live in a republic with somewhat democratic practices. Even interracial schools are segregated. And schools are mostly homogenous depending on where u live. Upperclass kids go to school with upperclass kids, poor with poor, blacks with blacks, whites with whites. It all depends. Schools are mostly authoritarian. We don't vote on who we get as teachers. All of that is decided for us by those in charge. Democracy where? Even our education system was decided for us by those in power.

I love that as part of additional recourses for our sociology class we have these videos. It is also funny how our teacher is always warning us that it's focused a lot on american context. :D Which is true, because from this video it looks like USA has one of the best educational systems, which is deffinetly not true. Here in the Czech Republic compulsory school attendance functions since 1774. Also our entire educational system is free and there is no religon in most schools (public or private. Of course there are many countries that have worse educational system than USA, but I don't think you have the best one. But it's just my opinion, so please don't come at me. :D

We are teaching our children the wrong things in school. We are creating a societal system where each section is dependent upon the other sections. This means when one section fails then the rest also fail.
We need to teach our children to be independent. Instead, we teach children how to be obedient workers.
To give meaning to someone's life teach them how to grow their own food, build their own house, repair their own car, cook their own meals, eat to stay healthy and most importantly how to meditate and pray. This gives life meaning.

the socialization aspect is always brought up as a plus side for schooling but we must remember that socialization is not taught at school it is self learned by kids during recess time and could well happen in streets in their neighborhood as well. as we all know the deepest lessons are self-taught so we should put more effort and resources on self education and transition out of the school system that did not evolve fast enough to fit our current needs of life long learning to adapt to our fast changing world.

I have watched so many videos regarding education in Canada and the US. Not once has anyone ever come forward with how market requirements are the determining factor in success rates. In Canada the skilled trades certification is the Red Seal. Success rates are based on market requirements based on UNESCO instruction. Google it! Could CrashCourse please do a video on how Market Requirements affect success rates of education world wide! THAT WOULD BE EDUCATIONAL!

I urge everyone going to college in the US to apply for the Federal Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Especially if you're going back to school over the age of 25 (when your parents income is not considered!
I earned my degree 100% debt-free and completely funded with grants from the FAFSA. Considering I got my degree in finance, no debt makes me very happy!

I studied Sociology and felt that it taught me absolutely nothing new about the world that I live in that I already didn't know. It just geared me to be more literate about such topics. Sociology was all just common sense. I felt like you'd have to be an Alien to not know half the things they spoke about.

-The average American spends 13 and a half years in SCHOOL. - SCHOOL - EDUCATION -
SCHOOL is the social institution you're discussing here. This video should be called -School in Society-.
