RS 5: Ken Robinson "Schools Kill Creativity"

This blog post is my analysis on the video “Schools kill creativity" by Ken Robinson. Ken Robinson is an expert in creativity and an entertaining speaker to listen to. Robinson believes that schools are ruining kids ability to be creative. I thought that the topic presented was very unique and interesting. He put things in perspective that may not be able to be said in words. Robinson makes very good points on his point of view, but I do not agree completely with him.

In my opinion I believe that he is right in the way that teachers may steer students into studying major topics such as math and science, but it is the persons decision to follow through with it. People make their decision by the type of world we live in today. Most decisions are made for the future. People select and do what is better for them in the long term. You can make a living in business or medical, but not everyone can make good money dancing or making music. It is not necessarily teachers taking away creativity, but you giving it up for something else. People make decisions for themselves. If you truly want to do something you would do it and not just give it up.
