Divergent thinking - Education = Force Uniformity = Stunted Collective Mental Growth


/\ Watch the video  /\
                             

Soo I'm casually surfing facebook, thinking about how awesome the pancakes I had this morning were and realising that drinking more water is the key to being more alert and awake, when I find this in my news feed from the guys of 'The Tribe'. A group of kayakers on the frontier of their sport, running huge waterfalls and burley rapids daily. I often recieve interesting stuff from them , latest beatdown videos , kayaking news or awesome music referals . But this, this is something much more interesting .

The video is a animation of a seminar given by Sir Ken Robinson at the RSA. Robinson is a renowned education and creativity expert and quite frankly has blown my mind.

The one section that really hit me square in the jaw was the 'anethesis' of the current education system. Learning should be purposeful , passionate and flavoursome. For all you aspiring teachers out there lets make it happen!
