Скачать или смотреть When Incentives Replace Empathy: A Teacher’s Lesson in System Failure. 😶‍🌫️

This story starts in a high school classroom, but it reveals a much bigger problem about how systems make decisions. A top student disappears after a family tragedy, returns grieving, and suddenly faces a system more focused on rules than reality. One teacher chooses compassion. Others choose compliance. The conflict exposes how incentive structures, performance metrics, and rigid standards can override human judgment.

In finance and economics, we often talk about efficiency, productivity, and measurable outcomes. But what happens when those metrics ignore real human costs? This video breaks down a real classroom moment that mirrors how institutions—schools, companies, and governments—often operate. When success is defined only by numbers, empathy becomes a liability instead of a strength.

This is not just a story about education. It’s an explainer on how systems fail people during their most vulnerable moments, and why incentive design matters more than most realize. If you’re interested in understanding how economic thinking shows up in everyday life—and where it goes wrong—this story will challenge how you see rules, performance, and accountability.
