Inside The Box: Are Our Schools Killing Creativity?


As I was reviewing materials from the workshops I attended last week, I came across this article with an excellent video talk by Sir Ken Robinson who makes some great points regarding our education systems.

He talks about the ADHD epidemic, and  urges us to collaborate more, encourage and build creative and science-based curriculums and to think of new and innovative ways to 'categorize' students in all  learning environments.

He points out that our systems are isolating & alienating our kids and serving them less because we have approached education from an industrialized 'production line' mentality. He calls for educational revolution rather than reform.

Sir Ken's knowledge, candidness and  humor not only offer simple solutions but also inspire new thinking. Well worth watching for all parents, educators and administrators (about 8 minutes-semi-animated format.)  Changing Education Paradigms
