FEB 10 TED talk - Ken Robinson says school kills creativity
Just a short blog about this video.
I didn't agree with this very much. Sure schools are structured and disciplined. Every growing person needs these ground rules and guidance. You see how kids act these days? Well it's because these important principles are missing! I don't see anything wrong with giving a child a spanking. Parents nowadays are so scared of what everyone will think, it's literally taboo to physically discipline your children...and it's exactly what is needed! Anyways getting a little off topic..I think that schools bring creativity out, not suppress it! Endless options are given to accommodate what students want to learn, while at the same time preparing them for life and equipping them with the appropriate tools. You want to learn to cook and sew? Home economics. Think you are going to become an aspiring artist? Art class. Are the construction and fabrication processes fascinating to you? Shop class. Love capturing the perfect picture? Photography. I don't see how this is killing creativity at all! If the public school system just doesn't seem fitting for you or your child then have them enrolled in a school that specializes in certain subjects. There are schools for artists and dancers. It's a free country, do as you please. If you don't like something, change it.
