sir ken robinson ted talk.

Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk talks about how schools are killing off children's creativity. He states that we need to prepare children for an unforeseeable future. He also states that children are groomed not to want to be wrong. Robinson talks about a school play where they acted out the nativity. When the three kings come bearing gifts on kid says, "frank sent this" instead of frankincense, which is obviously wrong, but he doesn't care because he is in an early grade at school. Later in the video he talks about kids being artists. he said when asked if they were artists, kids in third grade all raised their hands but when sixth graders were asked, nobody raised their hands. This shows how the schools are killing off creativity. when talking about a dancer, he talks about her expirences in school. She couldnt sit still, so the school had her mom take her to a psychologist. At the psychologist, the girl seemed completely normal so the psychologist left the room to see what she would do if he left the radio on. Within minutes the girl started dancing. The psychologist knew she was a dancer, or at least destined to be one. The school system had no idea. It is very clear that schools have been killing off students creativity. I recommend this video to any student or parent who thinks their creativity is being closed.
