Why Are We Educating People OUT of Creativity?
We're Educating People OUT of Creativity
Why don't we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences.
"We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance. Robinson's TEDTalk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? "Everyone should watch this."
Funny, Profound and Entertaining
Sir Ken Robinson is author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative, and a leading expert on innovation and human resources. In this talk, he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
This is a 18 minute TedTalk video, so settle back when you have the time - it is so well worth the viewing!
Little Girl whose Now a Multi-Millionaire
One of the most extraordinary parts is about the little girl who couldn't sit still in class - they thought she had a learning disorder. Turns out - well, she's someone quite famous. You'll just have to watch this for yourself!
Enjoy! Tell me what YOU think!
