Ken Robinson is an incredible thinker and is exactly what education needs. A new outlook and a person that sees the change that needs to occur. Why this man isn't the head of all education systems is beyond me, but it is probably because many teachers do not like him. The way he related ADD to students and teachers just think students need to sit there all day is true, but also a fact that not all students learn the same way and that needs to be changed. Not all students want to sit there and write all day; some want to dance like that one specific example and one just wants to play hockey which is fine and needs to be accepted. Teachers are continually preparing students for a world that isn't real. they are teaching us that we have to work all he time and that our own personal pleasures and enjoyments are not accepted in the school system.
More teachers need to take Ken Robinson's words much more seriously and that the majority of students agree with him in one way or another. We can't critique the school system for the minor flaws it has whether it is within athletics or the lack of enrolment until the education system as a whole is looked at and understood that we are treated like factory workers.teachers must realize that there are more interests in the outside world and that is what is going to make a successful student
