Sir Ken Robinson's talk "Do Schools Kill
Creativity?
In the conference, Sir Ken Robinson talks about many things, but I think that there are three principal themes. One of them was that the schools use an educational system very hierarchical. In this hierarchical pyramid, in the last position we have the arts, like music, dance and drama. Here we have the second important think, because for this hierarchical system, all the people think that if you want to be a musician or a dancer, you are not going to be a great musician, because you have to be focused in the first things of the pyramid, like mathematics or language, because apparently this areas are more important than the arts. Here, I think that we have the importantest point in the conference, because for this hierarchical educational system, many people kill all creativity in children, because this people want only mathematical or scientist people and they think this for the hierarchical system. When children in the schools want to study arts or music, they are “discriminated”, and their father think that they are wrong instead of they are more creative or they have different capabilities like be extraordinaries dancers, painters or football managers.
good commentary and excellent video !
