Why Schools Are Failing Students? Antifragile

Are schools making us dumber? Nassim Taleb coined a famous term a few years ago: Antifragile. This encapsulates many concepts in nature and other parts of our growth. The term syggests building systems that can not only withstand the current problems, but get better with each new problem. Hence, facing more problems improves the system. To make our children antifragile, they need to face more difficult situations. But schools do exactly opposite. Children get punished for failing if they face difficult situations. Hence it encourages avoiding such situations. Which in turn is making our children less antifragile. The video covers various aspects of antifragile with interesting examples and information.
