"Changing Education Paradigms"

Ok. Todays assigment is talk and give an opinion about the video by Ken Robinson: "Changing education paradigms". And he started presenting the principal topic, which is "That every country of earth at the moment is reforming public education, and there are two reasons for it.

• First is about economy. Just because it is unpredictable today
• Second is about culture. we are trying to preserved our roots, and we are learning all because of what happened, we are doing what we are doing because of the adults's mistakes... and thats mistakes is what we definitely don't have to do.

The adults said that we have to study and then we have to have a job, but today the children don't believe that, and the adults take that as a mind disorder. But what they don't think is that the corrently system of education was designed,  conceived and estructured for a different age, in the intellectual culture of the enlightment and the economic circumstances of the industrial revolution. Certeinly, in that epoc there were people who said "NO" to the education and that's because that the people who had not money did not deserve education (that was a primitive way of thinking) And if you did not have money, you are a part of the non-smart people. This system has prompted chaos.

As I mentioned, the children think that this system does not work so we give them ritalin xD and we are taking them away from all the stuff that doesn't let them pay attention and we give them boring assigment.

But then, Ken Robinson says that the education is modeled about what the society needs, not about what we want to be or what we want to contribute to it.

Finally, Robinson said that we all have the potential to be geniuses, but we all lose our "geniusity" as we educate. And the great learning happens in groups, colaboration is the stuff of growth, but the system forces us to work alone as individuals.

This audio really makes me grow♥
