I´m very surprised! I came to right on this blog all Thursdays, but today I find a topic that I´ll never expected. Is not just about education or the changes that public education needs (a very popular theme in my University); it´s about whole education system around the world.
I watch a video where Sir Ken Robinson talks about "Do Schools Kill Creativity". I think that it´s related to what we call in Chile “Ritalin kids”. Robinson says that traditional schools kill creativity in child, because don´t develop all the types of intelligence that we have when are kids. In that case, society creates kids for the future without knowing how is going to be the future. However, educational system limits the intelligence of the kids, focus on mathematical on language, but not carry out on dance, art or music. For that reason, humans, and especially academic teachers, think that all they have is a head. They are not familiarizing with his bodies. For all that reasons, many types of intelligence are dismissed for the educational system, and create kids who think they not are smart, and for real they are! It´s just another kind of intelligence.
I think that he may be right on his ideas, but it´s difficult to me believe that a structure like education is going to change. If he can diagnose a problem but can´t offer a solution, it´s very difficult that he will be eared. It´s a new way to see education for me, because I always think that the best idea for make a better society is having public education of quality, and n that way inequality decrees.
It´s a new point of view.

I agree with you that today topic was great!
ResponderEliminarYou know, about solutions, there are already schools that promote this other kind of education, giving the child options and autonomy and not imposing them anything they’re Montessori school and where invented by a teacher who died in 1952… so isn’t so new and it more used every day!
Yes, other types of intelligence must be develop, and not be dismissed. In other aspect the actul estructure of the education is very limited in this topics.
ResponderEliminarSee you, bye =)
I guess that the structure of education must change in some point, because everyday we can see that this system is not working very well for the most children.
ResponderEliminarI agree is a gret topic this
I think that the structure is horrible, really the education not existe now, because the system is very injust with the needs.
ResponderEliminarwhere is the education really? I don't know, but the new generation will do a big change in education. I'm convince with these!
