Sir Ken Robinson: "Do Schools Kill Creativity"

The talk of the Sir Ken Robinson is one of the really good talks that I heard in my life. I think that the topic is very important to propose in an audience, because like He said, its a thing that involucrated to everyone. When someone show an important idea is very relevant to do in a good way, and he did it possible. He managed to combine differents elements that get as results the listening of all the people that be there. He planted the idea and reforce it by examples of a common day, like the history of the children who draw a picture of God. In consecuence, he try to bring near the problem to the reality, thus, everyone could feel identified.
I agree when he said that the schools kill creativity. When I was in school I think that one of the most important thing of the life is to study and get good marks, because in this way I can have the possibility to go to the university and be a professional. In this society, work and have money are an important elements that you MUST have; If you don´t, you are nobody. For this reason the artistics carees, like music, dance, art, drama wich get money its not easy, are not a good instruments to realize this porpuse.
He said something that I like so much: "Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value more often than not comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things." And He mention in this part the example of the difference between men and women, specifically he and his wife. The second one are better at multi-tasking. When she cook, she can do 5 more things, but when the men cook, he have to be alone and relax, nobody have to interrupted his work. In the same way that men-women are complementary becuase they are differents, the society need a diversty of disciplinary to grow up and development.
The last thing that I like, is that he talk with naturaly, with some jokes ocasionaly, but he never abandoned the opportunity to make us think. In the final of many coments he do questions to try to incorporate us to the problem.

I want to finish this comment with a history. My cousin work in a school, and she told me that one day the teacher ask to the childrens: who wants to be a firefighter?. Some of them raised their hands. But then she said: Who wants to be a lawyer, an engineer, or a doctor? If you want to be one of them you have a premium ice cream. In this moment all the childrens, including those who wanted to be firefighters, raised their hands...
