Intrinsic drivers – autonomy, mastery and purpose

A great talk by Jonathan Mooney about the madness in education that focuses on the wrong skills, marks for writing skills but none for speaking. Often ADHD people are far more eloquent than the norm yet speaking carries no marks even though it is a far better indicator of success. Jonathan is funny and very astute in pointing out the serious problems with education that hinder different kids.
