This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
「翻轉的意義，其實就是嘗試回到事物本身應該有的樣子。」 小時候因為家庭因素，王政忠靠著打工和老師幫助才能度過求學階段，他深刻體會教育是一項希望工程；又因為921大地震，讓他重新思考投身教育的初衷，毅然重回全台最貧窮偏鄉之ㄧ的爽文國中任教。
「education」，是從拉丁文「educo」轉變而來，指「引導成人」的意思，因此學生才是教育的主體，王政忠花了10幾年的時間待在爽文，幫助這群孩子自主學習、獨立思考，翻轉教育重回教育的本質，給學生成功的機會。
他說，這裡是傳統偏教育的縮影，常態編班、家庭支持度低、資源貧乏、學生自學能力低，也許有很多人都在做一樣的事，但這裡更貼近現實。

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
