Ken Robinson speaks the truth.

I don't know how many people have seen this video, but I recommend it to everyone. Simply go to http://tinyurl.com/mluw5k . Ken Robinson's insights on education are, in my opinion, absolutely right. Schools today are focused solely on math and science, that children have lost their imagination and creativity. Ken also uses humor to help get the his message across, with not only personal stories, but stories of friends as well.

Ken's focus was that we as educators should not diminish a child's creativity and place equal focus on the arts as well as math and science. One particular point he made was that as little children we are told that we cannot find a job in things that interest us, but he continued by saying that a number of people today have emerged in these abstract fields and not only succeeded personally but financially as well. Ken Robinson has three main principles of education; He says, " It should be diverse, dynamic, and distinct."

Finally, Mr. Robinson states that the future is unknown and unpredictable, and it is going to be in the hands of children to facilitate the changes needed, with their creativity. In conclusion he says that we should use the gift of human imagination wisely, and that children's talents should not be squandered. No truer words have ever been spoken.
