Schools kills creativity

I love TED conferences, you always get a new point of view about everything.
Today I have to talk about Ken Robinson's presentation, at the TED2006, when he talks about how school education system kills creativity, and he is right.

Now more than never, you have to get a degree, a MBA, and if you can, a PhD, so you can get a better job, and earn more money, and have a better life. But this is wrong. The educational system has token the child capacities and pre-select those who they think are better for your life, and those who (I don’t know why) they think can make you a successful person.

I agree with Ken Robbinson when he says that we need to learn o be wrong, and see to make a mistake as a opportunity to grow up (no excess are good, so you may like to watch this:RSA Animate - Smile or Die), and generate, give or build opportunities for our children, so they can improve what is own body, and his own minds told. I always thought that a happy man is that make what he wants, and do it well, so why can't we stop to force our children and hear them.

Also I like how he see creativity, and how he show us the varieties of it. Creativity can born from everywhere, from everyone, and for everything, use it and incentive it is always a good choice (and also, you may like this:

  1. I agree with you (and with mr. Robinson too). Now the persons model us like they want, and for the future that they want. More roductivity and more money. If in some case I want to live in a farm, away from the city, it will be very difficult, because it's not the moel that they want
