Why schools need to embrace kids' creativity | Sir Ken Robinson

[@toni4729]

We are more than frequently told "this isn't good enough, you have to do better" So you believe you're not good enough.

[@VerenaSatriani]

Every child is creative.. as an adult we just need to let them explore their creativity. I feel sad, when schools are too strict on grades rather than allowing kids be creative in their own.

[@noelradhakrishnan4423]

Totally true 💯

[@lisbiology]

Schools focus on grades because the parents, society, governments and institutions demand them for success.

[@xtinejoy]

Based on experience, you'll be famous and possibly a teacher's favorite if you're intelligent plus good-looking or good in singing and dancing. If you're not good at either talents and not intelligent, you're unappreciated.

[@Speculaas]

Teachers are always trying to prepare us for the world instead of changing/improving it.

[@overpoweredjelly3513]

No they dont . They dont prepare us for anything . The school system was build based on the Industrial Age . They are preparing us for the past . They and I mean the school system not the teachers themselves , dont test us for our skills or creativity , they test us for your obedience

[@abdsalamelkhamlichi6677]

He died in August 2020. Rip 😢

[@oldbot64]

What!!! Omg such a big loss

[@daniellma]

The human race lost an incredible resource when he passed. He saw the problem with education systems from the inside, worked to find new methods and tools but ran out of time far too soon.

[@m3mario]

To me, Ken Robinson’s 2 TED talks are the most important we’ve seen in TED so far. These 2 talks must be compulsory viewing for anyone in education.

[@Lovela11]

Very true I come to Prof Ken's videos after getting frustrated with the current education system 🥹🥹

[@gt29schopenhauer]

Amazing talk by probably one of the most amazing and influental educator in the world. Educators worldwide are continuing your stories. We still have you in our memories, about how you try to make the world better, day by day. Even though you have become one with Mother Nature, your revolutionised ideas will continue to live on until the end. Best of things for you, Sir Ken Robinson.

[@shirefernandez7682]

This is true across the board. I'm pinay & growing up NURSE/DOCTOR was tied for #1 you HAVE to bee. Close to that is MILITARY and a smig under that is POST OFFICE or MAID. These were & sometimes are the ones ingrain to our heads. Anything that has to do with drawing or music or theater gets squished. Go into another hospital or nursing home & look at the staff. If you are in America & you are in a city or state near big bodies of water go to your nearest post office. Basically embrace the creativity of all children. This man should go around the world teaching this.

[@noelradhakrishnan4423]

I'm a high-school student. I'm so sad of my classmates and the whole education system. Because, teachers are making students to get prepared for the exam rather than giving them curiosity to learn and critical thinking.

[@lisbiology]

You say that like teachers have any choice... when parents, governments and institutions demand they prep their kids for success as defined by legislation & society.

[@Justfeb01]

A teacher's work performance is judged by how well students did in their exams, that's why many of them a so focus on exams and exam results. During my time most of us would just memorize and regurgitate, but fortunately there are some changes to the new curriculum where I'm from.

[@mrstinyful]

Creativity is basically to create something new. At school we are often educated to re-create something old

[@VAPIDISM]

It seemed to me when I was at school (im now 60) that any signs of individuality were not encouraged or nurtured. When you have a class of 20-30 kids they want you all lined up, all listening and all following what they present to you. Unfortunately teachers were allowed to be physically violent towards you in those days and any expressions or behaviours that didnt tow the line were cracked down on. I am not blaming just understanding and I have no doubt I was a bit of a handful. I was hyper and would have been diagnosed ADHD if it were recent times. The only think I enjoyed and was good at was art. I am glad to say I have picked it up again in the past 5 years.

[@BrotherBloat]

This was easily the best Ted Talk of its time... RIP

[@manaawan8603]

What a man! His contribution to society can't be measured. A true legend Sir Ken. Salaam to you 😔

[@theironrubberduck]

Kinda sad when you need a professional to say this when it’s common freaking sense

[@shirefernandez7682]

You would think, right? But have you gone to other countries or just your nearest neighbor that their family is not from your country. Ask the elders what occupation was more likely to be ingrained to be in that culture.

[@zo7474]

Watching this was pure bliss I'll tell you.✨ I consider myself living proof of the fact that we are "educated" out of harnessing our creativity and gifts in order to appease the broken school system that refuses to repair itself. Adults and future adults alike need to stop speaking of a change and actually create it.

[@bsmala1709]

There are various stories that have tips and entertainment, they are really wonderful

[@ScribaeEducantum]

“If you are working on something that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.” - Steve Jobs

[@SuperToughnut]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS! Art should be a part of curriculum from Pre-K through high school. Let the kids relax their brain for a while and use their minds to create -- with lines, words, colors, ideas.

[@overpoweredjelly3513]

School does not test your skills , creativity or the potential to change the world . They test your Obedience

[@ShahidKhan-ws8rc]

Excellent approach

[@yash1152]

He was a great person (dk personally). Rest in peace sir :peace: :halo:

[@femerces]

That’s the best TED talk I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, it never gets old.

[@OneaeBlack]

The problem is: everything is art related whether we realize it or not. Food? Culinary arts. Probably why we're called 'artisons' sons of artists. When you think of everything as art then all you have to do is nourish that aspect of it. Sweeping floors? Feel it move effortlessly under your hands, watch as it moves so smoothly, the motions, the behavior of it, eventually finding the simplest and best way to do it::: simply art.

[@david_oliveira71]

Really the third best Ted Talk video I've ever heard & watched (two other being one about loneliness and another about reading)

[@AIartBonaza]

[@MichaelRodriguez-vl8by]

The video that this clip was taken from was the first Ted Talk I’ve ever watched. Definitely one of my favorites

[@maibritton2882]

I tell the kids I work with when they say they made a mistake. That they didn't make a mistake , they are learning and how you learn is based on you as a individual. I don't correct them when we do a art project. Correct what?

[@lgrello1214]

Just wen I was ready to give up the KZbin community showed me wat real love felt like dis for you thankyou an I'm nothing without you ASÉ 🎼

[@RantKid]

the most classic TedTalk of all time. Yet to be topped.

[@KootFloris]

The most essential question he asked in that talk is: "How do we prepare children for a future we don't know yet?" Creativity is one. Being able to solve problems, adapt life to new issues. We need to stop drilling kids to fit the system as it is! It's destroying the conditions of life on this planet. Helping kids to be successful in a dysfunctional system isn't helping. So, though not mentioned in the talk, Regenerative Design is two. And daring to challenge the system, overturn/deviate/change/adjust corporate and national powers that defend their status quo at the cost of everything else.

[@determineddi2044]

We waste too much time trying to make everyone "average" at everything. I had tremendous gifts in writing, creativity, History, and English and did very well but my brain didn't process higher math(s) very well. I was getting all As in other classes, failing math. I can do all basic math and have never used algebra or geometry after high school. I have a Masters Degree in Education, an English degree (BA).. However, all anyone focused on in middle or high school was "do better at math." What a waste. My math teachers thought I was stupid. It's pretty ironic. I enjoyed hanging with "the bad kids" in math class. Due to poor math in high school I couldn't get in the National Honors Society and my GPA was lower than it should have been. After awhile we need to realize everyone cannot be "good" at every subject. Focus kids towards their passions and their talents.

[@miAimTIL]

Spot On !! We at "miAim The Improvised Line" are trying to teach creativity with music experimentation/ improv and basic music theory. Once you have the basics then you should be able to create anything you want. We encourage you to be yourself and not your favourite pop star or jazz player.

[@yash1152]

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

My parents forbid me to be a vetrenarian, stewardess, and my third and final choice was a racecar driver... BECAUSE in the early 60's a girl didn't need an education, BECAUSE she was going to be married after highschool anyhow... So, it's not just educaters who inadvertantly keep children from future success, it is parents, siblings (the child looks up to) and the child's environment that keep children from succeeding! Especially if a girl wants to enter into a male oriented work world!

[@ramble_on1]

Hey guys is not just the schools, also technology works in some kind of seamless way so we put that on ourselves as well. We humans must perform seamless like technology, therefore we can’t be wrong, because technology is programmed to work right... terrible years ahead of us.

lol As if TED is interested in what Ken has to say. The reality is TED has been working in the opposite direction from the beginning

[@m2-x-n253]

The world is full of "PARA LIKHA GADHA" which translates from Hindi to English as "EDUCATED DUMMIES" people dont really know the meaning behind education anymore, its more like a ticket to places where they would eventually end up getting paid low or high depending on the quality of the content on the ticket.
