Ken Robinson in a TED Talk about education etc.
Very funny to watch – some interesting thoughts.
He is strongly advocating the importance of creativity in our world, therefore necessarily also in school, where as he says in all cultures is a hierarchy of classes: science, math, language first, arts later, and in arts, music & literature before dance …
If a marsian would watch our education, he would conclude that all train to be university professor … but for most things in life we need our body.
Another thought, we cannot predict the world even in 5 years – but we have to train the children for well later!
