Here’s a great way to get kids to learn. Unfortunately, too many schools don’t do it.

When Mike Bloomberg, ex-mayor of New York, said he’d like to fire the lower-scoring half of the city’s teachers and give their students to the better-scoring half, doubling the size of their classes but paying them twice as much, he was affirming his belief in a particular theory of learning.

For a short demonstration of the theory, watch this short, million-plus-viewed clip https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-mozilla-003&hsimp=yhs-003&hspart=mozilla&p=youtube+ferris+bueller+classroom+scene#action=view&id=2&vid=3272055a987cae91c55817cb72bb9a57 about a boring teacher from the 1986 film, "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off."
