about Ken Robinson

Well, after a long wait I can hear something about Ken Robinson said the 2006 about the education, and I think that in many ways he is right . The educational system reduce the possibilities to the child to develop their creativity, the teachers how were educated by this system too, punish the mistakes, but without a mistake the children haven’t the possibility to innovate, create… always behind a good idea, a new technology devises and even a new theory, the people how create it, had to try it again and again to get good results.

The old public educational system is not useful to the new world where we live. The new world requires creativity to answer the change in a fast and efficient way. The new world value the talent to each people, talents like dance, corporal expression, music, culture, etc, but the public system still punish the difference. The extreme academism (a old idea) stigmatizes who get bad grades: if you haven’t good grades you can’t go to university and if you can’t go to university you never had a good job… but the real word needs more than this… each day grow the idea to people with the capability to integrate elements, is really useful a boss who knows many about techniques tools but haven’t social intelligence?, this example show us too, the need to recognize our capabilities and our difference and for this idea, we need save the talents to all, so the Ken Robinson call’s is true: we need a revolution in the educational system to can develop creativity and value the difference too
