Thinker vs Doer, What are you?

Brian Mclogan discusses the shift in the educational focus from rewarding 'doers'—those who solve math problems quickly and accurately—to valuing 'thinkers' who understand and interpret math concepts. He shares his personal struggles with math and critiques the education system for not adapting to technological advancements that reduce the need for doers. Brian argues for a change in how math is taught, emphasizing the need for thinkers who can analyze, reason, and predict. He invites viewers to reflect on their educational experiences and encourages them to stay curious and engaged in learning.
