The ever eloquent Sir Ken Robinson contends in this TED Talk
that the culture of American education contradicts three principles
that make human life thrive: diversity, curiosity and creativity. Humans
naturally embody those qualities, but school has become a system based
on conformity and testing, qualities that don’t use the natural learning
tendencies inherent within every child.
He makes an argument for individualizing learning, but also for
valuing teachers and thinking of their professional development as an
investment in children and the future.
