Clap clap. 12 years have gone by, we're still in the same boat.

Do schools kill creativity? Making an entire class write something they have no interest in and forcing them to have X amount of words. Yes. I would say it does. It kills the want to learn.

11:27 - 11:50 - his words were spot on. In a world of youtubers, digital creators and meme makers, you actually don't need a degree in, you need creativity.

It's incredibly upsetting how old is this and how everything is still the same.
@aliens3219
I hate it when you do something a certain way that works efficiently and correctly but the teacher gets mad because it's not the way you're supposed to do it.

Modern education: Creating people who are smart enough to accurately repeat what they're told and follow orders, and dumb enough to think this makes them smarter than everyone else.

16 years later, still my favorite TED talk. RIP sir Ken

The audience is laughing but actually what he says is very painful. Schools kill not only creativity, but also innocence.
@theonlyjoe_
It’s so sad now that he’s gone, he will be dearly missed, Rest in peace Sir Ken

Almost 10 years since this video was posted and unfortunately nothing has changed.

I remember watching this years ago as a teenager. It's amazing how forward-thinking he is! Can you imagine that the issues that he mentioned happening 15 years ago are still relevant till this day.

This video.. made me make a very fateful decision. This man's speech will either save my life or ruin it, see ya in 2 years, bye.
@TrueUnderDawgGaming
I hope that people don't misunderstand this video. It's not that school isn't important. It obviously is. However, creativity is not something you learn through typical education. Art is more about experience than it is about knowledge. That being said, knowledge is still very important.

School kills everything. Creativity, The Soul, Self Esteem, Individuality, Innocence, Critical Thought, etc.

R.I.P Ken Robinson (1950 - 2020). Thank you for your work.
@ryanmarkcamposano2783
Who's here after hearing of his passing? This is one of the best TedTalks I've watched. It definitely helped me shape my principles as a teacher. You will be missed.

My kindergarten teacher crushed my dreams when she told me that I can't be a Jedi because they don't exist. Many tears were had that night.
@laurenskellett4007
My whole dissertation stemmed from this ted talk, I am an actor and have just started temporarily working in Education in between jobs, heartbroken to find the education still in the exact same state as he talks about, academic subjects with such a hierarchy and creativity still being shrinked if not killed. I hope I live to see this change
