Ken Robinson

This character is a creativity person that tries to change the way of teaching. His main idea is cultivate creative thought in children.
“Schools kill creativity”. This sentence is very controversial, because it offends to educational system. I think is the harsh reality, Schools control the mind of students with a lot of things. The first one is with rules, the second with theory subjects and the last one with behaviorism thoughts. I’m going to focus in the last because for me is the most important.

Schools ban and impose ideas. They don’t make critical thinking. It is a big problem because Students can’t express; consequently, education is not important for them. If they don’t understand the subjects, they feel stressed and depressed. That shouldn’t happen, I think learning have to be a good experience.

Human beings have to face different situations throughout the life, and they need to be creative. For example: You can know a lot of English grammar, but if you don’t know how to do a class, you couldn´t be a good teacher. Maybe you can be an excellent speaker, but if you don’t have creativity and pedagogy, you don’t make an interesting class.
I believe that schools should promote creative thinking. We will the next generation of teachers, so we have to develop students´ creativity.

  1. Totally agree with you my dear friend.
    School has to promote the creativity ( word
    a little bit repeated ) in their students and
    also something important the critic thinking, because I think they are like complements you know. I'd to be an extrovert teacher, one who
    will be remembered for all their students. Very
    good point your post Deniel!
