The speaker (Sir Ken Robinson) talks of how our method of educating people were born during the Industrial Revolution. He argues that the number of dropouts are so high, so many children put on medication (esp. in the USA), and the overall ineffectiveness of the system calls for a total rethink. He ideas are incredibly progressive. If you have children, you might find some of his ideas helpful in keeping your child more involved after the school day is over. And, if you don’t have children, this is still something worth knowing, should you ever have kids. Enjoy:
