In this talk, Sir. Ken Robinson lays out the link between three troubling trends: rising drop-out rates, schools’ dwindling stake in the arts, and ADHD. Robinson argues that we shouldn’t be anesthetizing/medicating our children to get them through school, we should be waking them up and stimulating their curiosity and creativity. An important, timely talk for parents and teachers.
There is a lot to think about. I have to watch it multiple times. I do agree with a lot of point that he is making though. I do believe that we need to think outside of the box and change the education system in this country.
