This is a lecture given by Charles Leadbeater about looking at problem areas to find solutions. Besides the fact that this guy has an awesome name, I think he is spot on with his assessment of education and the need to change motivation. Looking back at my schooling the most difficult thing for me was staying motivated, and that was with all the conveniences of living in a developed nation. Anyway, more information on the speaker is here and of course the source of the lecture is TED.

“ Considering the amount of prejudice and fear that accompany discrimination and bolster it, overcoming residential discrimination is just that much harder if people feel unsafe on their sidewalks anyway. Overcoming residential discrimination comes hard where people have no means of keeping a civilized public life on a basically dignified public footing, and their private lives on a private footing. ”
What a goal, so much for this Swiss keeping a draw
