Ken Robinson Says Schools Kill Creativity
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html
Sir Ken Robinson believes that creativity should be emphasized in schools just as much as literacy is. Why wouldn’t we breed our kids so they can become famous at acting, or guitar like Jimmy Hendrix? Ken agrees and thinks the purpose of the public schools is to create university professors. The whole education system is based on our ability to prove ourselves academically. Also the education system is focusing on enhanced learning for current jobs. Sir Ken Robinson thinks if the school system.
He also said that we as people do not know what 5 years in the future has in store for us. If we don’t know this how we are going to know what to teach to help students succeed for the future. Robinson at one point said that degrees will soon be worthless because the way to be successful is to think creatively.
I like his Ideas on the future, and teaching such things as creativity. Creativity is a great thing to have in the business world. I think kids who are taught a lot of skills like creativity, social skills, people skills, etc. are very important to survival in every day life. Will the emphasis on the importance of creativity in the learning system be changed?

Hey, I completely argue. Its like society has this duality of acceptance. For example its okay if your in your forties making a lot of money for painting and art works but its not okay to actually spend time in school developing these skills.
