Do schools kill creativity?
When I talk with inner-city teachers about the frustration of the education system – or, seemingly against all odds .. the wonder and excitement of a child discovering their previously hidden creativity .. the conversation includes Sir Ken Robinson.
He makes so many good points on this video. Taking just one for anyone who cares about our children’s development, and who believes that the function of school AND parenting is to help a child discover their individual passion – and their capacity for contributing (rather than talking only about their’potential which only emphasises that they’re ‘not there yet’!) .. this is a must see video!
You may well learn nothing new from watching this short video, but you’ll certainly be inspired to take a fresh look at the whole area of learning and personal development – apart from which Ken Robinson has a wonderfully silly sense of humour!
Enjoy!
