Does school kill creativity
Human resource expert, Sir Ken Robinson, discusses the educational systems and gives opinion that, "Our education system is predicated on the idea of academic ability, and there is a reason, the whole system was invented round the world, there really were no public systems before the 19th century, they all came into being to meet the needs of the industrialism. So the hierarchies are reasoned on two ideas: Number one, that the most useful subjects for work are at the top, so you were probably steered benignly away from things at school, when you were a kid, things you liked, on the grounds that you would never get a job doing that. Is that right? Don't do music, you are not going to be a musician. Don't do art you won't be an artist. Benign advice, now profoundly mistaken. The whole world is engulfed in a revolution, and the second is, academic ability, which has really come to dominate our view of intelligence because, the universities design the system in their image. If you think of it the whole system of public education around the world is a protracted process of university entrance, and the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, couragic people, think their not."
