Changing education paradigms

In today's class we saw a video by Sir Kevin Robinson; "Changing education paradigms" in which he criticizes how education is projected today and proposes a change of the paradigms that let creativity of every child flow, not die as it is being currently.

"Alienating millions of kids that don't see any purpose on going to school".

Sir Kevin Robinson is an English writer, educator and lecturer. Doctor in education by London university, he is considered an expert in matters with creativity, education quality, innovation and human resources.

Focused mainly in education as a mean to create a divergent thinking, this video has allowed us to reflect about current education. I agree in the fact that education is at the service of the power, creating "robots" to their models to who has been inculcated the ideology of getting a title before their happiness developing their creativity. I also wonder why children are grouped according to the age.   

 

"Education is the key". "Education is about inspiring one's mind not just filling their head". "There is more than one way to be an educated man". This sentences summarizes the content of this other video played also today in class and of today's class, a very inspiring lesson for us, future teachers that want to fight for a change in education.
