Sir Ken Robinson
I like the points that Mr. Robinson brings forth about the creative side of education. The arts are the first things cut out of schools when the budget comes into play. Then on top of it to insist that a child be right all the time instead of learning from mistakes is rediculous. The confidence and creativity of a person is killed slowly throughout their way through school as the insistance on being correct at all costs becomes more apparent. Free thinking is little to non-existant by the time the child is an adult. I also believe that the incorporation of the arts along with the standard educating tools helps to create a well rounded and spirited person, not a person who just goes along with the crowd.

How can we protect the arts and creative thinking in our schools? Any good ideas?
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement about the confidence and creativity of a person is killed throughout school. I agree because this happened to me. You would think teachers would learn from their teachers or that they would want their students to think creatively but it is up to us (future teachers) change everything.
