TED talk
Another TED talk we've watched recently and it has been said about schools and how they kill creativity. Sir Ken Robinson was the speaker and I don’t know was it more laughy or interesting to listen him.
The main thought he introduced was that schools are vastly focused on the academic success among students, not considering people’s talents. This argument sir Robinson supported with example that some of his friends have reached this academic success being phd doctors, and so now they live in their heads being too far from the real world and creativity - that is the goal of modern education.
He also gave an example of the girl who loved dancing and who just couldn’t be still. Teachers only complained about her being unsuccessful in studying and just not comining with the system. The education system was blind to see and to admit that her destination in life was moving to the music. And so she made her decision and started dancing all the time instead of studying. She became famous
It was neither less significant from what he said that schools also teach children that making mistakes is the worst thing that can ever be happened. Of course, students should know how to solve math exercises right. But the thing is that this way children may be taught being non-standard is wrong, what is wrong.
We are genius artists, musicians, mathematicians, linguists or swimmers from the start. We only have to find our talents and put effort not to let them be squandered through time as we grow “out of creativity”.
“All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up.” Picasso said.
