Powerful stuff Sir Ken and I'm behind you all the way. I want to be involved in this initiative. I barely scraped through my education but discovered music and not through the curriculum offering but by following my own path - personalised learning. I would add to this notion of drastic change needed, that technology and access to the internet and TH-cam has changed the way we all learn and demands we change the way we teach.
Mr. Ken Robinson, we've created a course that if you knew you would be proud. Actually we've based on your concepts of how the process of learning has to be. We dream with the opportunity to meet you and tell you what we've created. Hugs and thank you to inspire us.
There's always talk of big shifts. What of many small changes? I keep hearing Sir Ken talk about systematic change which is probably well needed. If his thesis is that kids want to learn and school takes it out of them; What can I as a teacher do to make concrete changes within my own classroom to make kids want to learn again. It can't be that I should stop teaching them can it? I find myself agreeing with Sir Ken on many issues but in the end it's all lofty and a bit fluffy. I refuse to believe that we need to completely remake all of our schools, throw out everything we do and start fresh. I think we can start digging where we stand to make the necessary changes in our own practice if only we knew what those changes are.
Kenth Sundlöf Western education of the factory model is a dogma, unfortunately no one can see through the dogma, schooling is A prison don't get me wrong there is fine teachers like John Taylor Gatto who states the USA public education no child left behind is regressive beyond imagining. No one believes the west doesn't supersede East, however ironic it is all the services the USA have now, scientists and maths educators all come from East Asia, coincidence I think not. Admit your job as an teacher is to carry the conveyer belt forward in-order to place students in labeled categories, just asked by your administration to do your job. in this highly corrupted system of Orwellian Public education system.
Your metaphor illustrate perfectly what should be done but, here in France, most teachers don't care what or how they teach and what/if kids learn.... Primary school is a disaster. Schools are old, poorly maintained, little to none modern learning tools, everything is based on French and Maths with no time for art, music or sport and kids are bored or worst, they fear school at 7 .... More and more parents have no choice than to create their own schools for kids to escape public schools where results are really bad. Overcrowded classrooms, uniform and standardized education and when a child is too talkative or agitated he is diagnosed dyslexic.....
Patricia Chaibriant when the student insubordinate or stress out like like you stated agitated, I know they always tend to lash out against bureaucrat schooling establishment he/she get referred to educational psychologists diagnose them Autistic Autism or nihilistic narcissist this is Independent (private schools) in UK respond as Action reaction solution: destroys students.
Sir Ken, The education system works just fine. It alienates the genuinely talented, brutalises the dull and rewards mediocrity. This is just bourgeois clap trap. How will the middle class react if suddenly their kids have to compete for university places with a hundred students instead of 10. Do you honestly imagine they will give up their2 car, 2 holiday lifestyle to pay for a fully functional education system when the current model works well for them. I also find your egalitarian, liberalistic views at odds with someone who is happy to accept honours from the elitist establishment. However charismatic your presentations are you are only a peddler of "Snake oil" to a credulous sleep walking audience.

Sign me up! I'll work my butt off l, and be happy about it, teaching in an environment like that.
I've been saying this since I've been labeled with adhd
Awesome Sir Ken Robinson....You are always on point but what we should do to teach?We want more solutions from you.Thanks for helping the humanity...
It's so simple!
Great comparison

Sir Ken,
The education system works just fine. It alienates the genuinely talented, brutalises the dull and rewards mediocrity. This is just bourgeois clap trap. How will the middle class react if suddenly their kids have to compete for university places with a hundred students instead of 10. Do you honestly imagine they will give up their2 car, 2 holiday lifestyle to pay for a fully functional education system when the current model works well for them. I also find your egalitarian, liberalistic views at odds with someone who is happy to accept honours from the elitist establishment.
However charismatic your presentations are you are only a peddler of "Snake oil" to a credulous sleep walking audience.
You are a product of the system he talks of… result = Jaded and a predictable non creative thinker ☹️
