Ken Robinson and creativity
I believe that Ken Robinson does make some valid points when it comes to creativity in school. The school system today is very focused on cramming you with as much hard, and raw facts as they can in the years you are in school. They teach you all of the different formulas but not how to apply them to other situations or real life situations. This meaning that when we get out into the real world or even into just spost-secondary education, we find ourselves struggling to find answers to problems we haven't seen before. The school system should focus more on how to figure out what the question is asking, rather then just give the answer. There needs to a class that doesn't matter if you get the right answer or not. The point of the class should be to figure out how to answetr the problem but not needing to give a specific number answer or word answer. All in all, Ken Robinson is absolutely and completely right. School today will not ultimately prepare you for the problems of tomorrow and how to approach them. The school system is in need for a big change of the curriculum or there are going to be big problems.
