Sir Ken Robinson asks: Do Schools Kill Creativity?
Posted by English | Posted on 02-03-2010
Do Schools Kill Creativity? I thinks so and apparently so does Sir Ken Robinson. In this TED conference presentation he makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence. 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” This is a must watch for everyone, espsecially all new parents out there!!
