How Schools Kill Creativity by Sir Ken Robinson


I actually used this video within my research for the Education paper: 

Ken Robinson explains how schools kill creativity, instead of fostering it:

  • Children are born with creativity
  • Sitting in the desk, no active participation, looses creativity
  • Students are limited in their creativity to what they have to learn
  • No freedom for the child
  • “It seems like the purpose of Public education is to create University professors, as if they are the high point of human achievement...they are just another form of life.”(Robinson)
  • It seems that the present educational system revolves around the university, making it the “temple” of all human achievement.
