Yes, they are really uplifting to watch..
Wow! Amazing!
I love seeing successful children who are getting where they are in life via DISCIPLINE!
I have always had a hard time understanding why discipline is such a filthy word in the left-driven world.
Thanks for sharing these videos. Off to watch the rest of them.

And ... it's actually not inherent to proper Leftism to eschew discipline, and traditional education.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the new Soviet State had a lot of people in education who were 'experimental' and this was reflected in the new curriculum (for example, separate subjects were abolished in favor of 'themes'.) But after Stalin consolidated power, they returned to traditional education methods: the Old School, but now open to everyone. And they had a lot of catching up to do, since 2/3 of the population, on the eve of the Revolution, were illiterate.

Of course, history and social sciences were full of Stalnist propaganda-garbage. But they did very well in mathematics and science -- remember, they had the first earth satellite, and the first man into space. The Old Left believed in Objective Truth, at least in theory. They didn't believe that witch-doctors were the equal of brain surgeons.
Too bad our current crop of Leftists couldn't be a bit more 'Stalinist', at least for education.
