Do schools kill creativity...

Hello people! In this opportunity I’m going to write a brief review about Sir Ken Robinson's talk video "Do Schools Kill Creativity".

What can I say about it? Brilliant, is a clever and entertaining way to show the actual educational system reality, that doesn’t nurture the creativity and restrict the dynamic, plastic, natural intelligence of children.

We have to think about what is the function of the educational system, is to make people more intelligent or creative? The educational system is built to help people to fit in a particular economic system, to make good workers. It restricts the human capacities to a certain “kind” of intelligence according the interests of the market. The students commonly are mere listeners in this system, forced to retain the information given by teachers. The schools system doesn’t help to develop the critical thinking in children, they are punished if they have different ideas, and things like this undermine the creativity.

Well, remember to see the video, and always think by yourself!
Bye!
