watching Sir Ken Robinson's talk "Do Schools Kill, Creativity

=)!!!

In the talk of mr Ken Robinson he exposes a interesting aspects related to education such as creativity. He sais that with the educational system we have right now we are killing all the creativity children can develope. Schools are aiming to make professionals but in restricted areas such as math , lenguage and cience. Other subject are depreciated and not taking seriously such as arts: music, dance, painting etc. Children are programmed to get good marks just in the subjects that are supousingly the ones wich will help them in their future work life. Schools systems are build in way in wich the student are "obligated" to continue a specific line; wich is finish the school and start with university.
He also claims that the system is being more and more demanding as it refers to work titles (grados). Thirty years ago you only needed your graduation diplom to get a job, nowdays if you dont have a Mayor or minor , a mbm or a phd you are a nobody and getting a job has become very difficult. The standarts have become more and more academically demanding leaving other aspects beside.
Mr. Robinson assueres that, the way we are living now and the way in wich we are educating our children kills their creativity, and without it there aren´t original ideas poipinng out of there heads. Without these original ideas there is no evolution.
