Sir Ken Robinson

Sir Ken Robinson used multiple methods to get his point across, humor being the most effective and relateable. But one concept that he made that stood out to me was
- "Education runs deep with people like religion and money."
This quote makes me realize that education is so important to people but very few are willing to take that big responsibility of educating the future generation. Yet the people who do become teachers, don't get enough respect for what they do.
Another quote that stood out to me was
-"It's education that is supposed to take us into this future that we can't grasp."
This quote also shows how difficult it is to educate children because we don't know what kind of jobs there will be in 20 years. The whole world dose not know what education can or should prepare us for because we don't know what will change in the future.
This will effect the world because more outsourcing could occur, new more advanced technology could be created and teachers can't prepare students for what they don't know is coming.
This bigger picture throughout the video was that schools squeeze the creativity out of children. Children instead of growing into creativity grow out of it because of schools. This is partly because creative people are OK with being wrong but today the biggest mistake in an educational career is to be wrong. The acceptance of being wrong means that people will come up with original ideas because they are not afraid to be wrong.
Sir Ken Robinson was effective through his humor and connected concepts that were true around the world not just where he lived.
Sir Ken Robinson also makes the point that we start educating children form the waist up until we focus entirely on their brain and then the left side of their brain.
Education needs to incorporate the arts and creativity more in order to prepare for something that might happen in the future.
