Ken Robinson’s opinion has a subject that I’ve already analyzed before.
I agree with him. Per se schools are centers where the people go to learn not just different subjects, but also they learn how to behave in front authority, how to be quiet and just listen what the teachers are saying (except the subject that obligatory requires discussion, like Philosophy).
Moreover, in our country also the uniforms are the most evident way to kill creativity, forbidden us a simple and basic kind of expression. The uniforms are usually grey, black or dark blue: those colors are just the opposite of what we see in children’s clothes stores (pink, yellow, light blue, green, orange, etc). We are classifying equal when we are different! The clothes are a way for express that we are, or the way we feel.
Also we are obligated to listen subjects that clearly doesn’t are the interests of everybody. In the two last years of high school I think the people already has the power of chose about what they likes or dislikes, and we are obligated to cover advanced classes of math, chemistry, physics, literature, history, etc. So, we have to waste time listen themes that clearly we don’t want, just to be like the schools want us to be.
I liked a lot the way that sir Robinson talks, is very motivating the fact he doesn’t need to read what he is talking about. His principal arguments are very interesting. Especially the hierarchy of important subjects: the art at last is just sad; we never had the chance in schools of forms us integrally, understanding the brain as a multiple intelligence system that is not stimulated completely.
