In the talk listened, Ken Robinson states that our Education system has mined our minds, closing many possibilities of learning. I personally believe that it's true. By giving importance just to the subjects considered as the most important or "useful" ones, such as math and history to name a few. Education system has been losing important capacities students have as CREATIVITY. There are students that are really interested in music or art which are subjects that increase creativity, but are not much important at schools.
It seems like we are being educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. It's the same topic that has being calling my attention in TIPE.
Nowadays, people don't look for learning going to the schools. They look for a degree just to have a good job and money in the future. Schools’ goal should be more than that. Schools mold the society. The idea is to form people interested in their reality, honest, worried for what is going around, creative and what is more important with critic thinking.
On the other hand, creativity is as important as teacher’s knowledge in education. Teachers and we need to be creative. We don’t have to be scared of being wrong. Being wrong is not the end of the world. Actually, by being wrong we learn.
