You live on. Thank you.

Our daughter transferred to a traditional high school to a creative arts magnet school and the amazing thing was how much better the overall academics were. I believe it is because the kids were so thrilled to be there they saw a purpose. Reading was suddenly connected to their scripts and math was suddenly a challenge... not just another roadblock in life.

This is education redefined. Sir Ken Robinson is amazingly convincing about this issue of creativity in education. I have been a teacher for over 22 years now but I had never seen education in the way it is brought.
-
I wish I'd seen this sooner. But it's never too late. What a great timing to watch this when I am planning on going back to school.

RESPECT ! Only through talks like this we will bring the learning revolution ! Creativity will be the future discipline of EVERYTHING !
-
This man has honestly changed my life. Because of him and his talks on education I have made the decision to study fine art at university.

Agree! Sir Ken always has great talks, that really makes one think. so true about everyone being good at different things. It was a friend who said to me that people often learn something best when its something they can apply to their personal interests. Like with mathematics for example. You get better at it with practice and application but that doesn't mean you have to enjoy doing it. But if its applied to something else that really interests you, you feel more motivation to learn it.

2021, recently graduated from a private university with the promise of success but currently unemployed.. I realized that my college education really wasn't about landing a job. The experience just allowed me to think critically and mature in my view of society

Love his remarks about "what it means to be British" @25:30

Like Sir Ken Robinson said. What we need is a process of helping people to engage with the world around them. I think we need to make our interaction with the world more gameful. Games are always engaging and I believe they can change the world.

What a soothing voice saying such reasonable words.

Create Education Systems that are meant to celebrate and cultivate our children to produce a harvest of ideas and possibilities. - Sir Ken Robinson. An impactful statement that encapsulates Robinson's life's work - education reform that centers around the creative cultivation of multiple types of intelligence.

My son went to an International School in Spain that not only valued the Arts but underpinned its educational philosophy on them, along with the other IB subjects. What a phenomenally well rounded & academically successful school it was too. You couldn't wish to meet more personable, self-assured, creative young people. They radiated the essence of human creativity and could appreciate the need for the balance in their lives for maths, language, science, economics, humanities & each other.

Very intelligent and sensitive fellow who correctly recognizes one of the key issues i.e. British issue of suspicion of anything foreign 🙏

Strip it bare, start with an empty room, a teacher and some children. Then see what happens. I recently asked students at one of my lectures what they would do with 15 children in an empty room with a circle drawn on the floor. SILENCE! When in Romania I had 36 children in an empty room in a terrible mess. No resources, awful conditions. Great ti hear Sir Ken. We just don't hear enough of the same from the goons responsible for implementing an education programme.

We are going to make Sir Ken Robinson the roving ambassador of goodwill & education
-
I like the metaphor of the theater... It brings us to really realize what the basics really are. So often we are caught up with all the things don't really matter... Great talk!
-
how can three people not like this?

I wish this existed without any edits

All disciplines are equal... but some are more equal than others !
