Creativity (or lack of) in schools…

Wed, Mar 11, 2009

I stumbled across a website called www.ted.com.
It’s a series of lectures by many interesting people with life changing messages.
A particular video that caught my attention was the lectures by Ken Robinson. He talks about how schools “kill” creativity. He examines the traditional schools in todays times and explains how many education institutions fail to recognize the importance of children’s creativity.

That was awesome. he is hysterical. It breaks my hearts to see schools cutting everything but reading, writing and math. I think schools are moving in the WRONG direction. So sad.

My mom had to watch this video for one of her assignments (she's taking an online course on "How to Open up a Montessori school"), and she had to watch this video. This guy is super awesome and I love his humor! I totally agree with you about schools going in the wrong direction. When I lived in FL, I was shocked to learn that elementary kids didn't get recess! Can you believe that? On top of that, they were assigned like 3 hours of homework every night! It's so sad!
