In Dr. Tae's video, "Can Skateboarding Save Our School?" he discusses about the relationship between skateboarding and school. The main purpose in Dr. Tae's lecture is that we have to set goals and keep trying if we want to succeed in a particular subject. In his demonstration, he explains how teachers, grades, and cheating do not affect your ability to skateboard. However, those key factors apply in a big way in learning at school. His demonstration is some what effective because you can try as many times as you want to nail the perfect trick in skateboarding, but you don't necessarily have a lot of chances to succeed on the first try in school. I think Dr. Tae's target audience was towards young students and adults because he wanted to influence them and show them that determination is the key to success. He also wanted to show that each situation has different learning styles.
Even though skateboarding and school are two totally different things, there are still some similarites between them. When it comes to learning in school, there is not a lot of options. You either know the material, somewhat know it, or don't know it at all. I think that skateboarding can relate to that factor as well. Another key factor that both of those subjects share is the repetition method. In the beginning of Dr. Tae's video, we see him attempting a certain skateboarding trick. At first, he doesn't nail it and it took him a lot of tries to finally nail it. That kind of learning style can reflect on classroom learning as well, because the more we look at the material and study it, the more familiar we will be with it. Overall, I think Dr. Tae did a good job with his presentation. There were some flaws here and there when it came to comparing skateboarding and school, but as a student we can learn something from this video.
