a talk about education

Sir Ken Robinson thinks Education is going for a bad way. Generally what we expect of people is a ‘linearly life’ almost equal to other’s life: we have to go to school, and after that we have to go to universities to become professionals. If we don’t do that, people think we are “wasting our talent” or even “wasting our lives”. But, what Sir Kevin Robinson says is that human talent is extremely diverse, we all have different aptitudes. Education don’t have to make us part of a system based in linearity and conformity, education must help our talents to flourish.
He thinks that because of this linear system there’s a lot of people today that do things without enjoying it, “they are just waiting for the weekend”. What people must do is not learning things that they don’t really care. People must consider their passions: activities that they actually want and enjoy to do.
The great thing, says Robinson, is that while you’re doing what you often do you feel “an hour pass as five minutes”, because you really love doing that. And not than “five minutes feels like an hour” because you are really bored and not interested in what you’re doing.
Finally, he says education has to be and organic process, not a mechanical process. It has to customize to your personal and unique circumstances to make your talents to flourish. So, we have to pass from an industrial model to and agriculture model.
I think the talk is really great, I agree with him at all. I think today we value most studying a career that is lucrative for the system. And even, we value most studying after school that not doing. I think every person has to “do it at their own pace” and do what they really want to. Education must help to discover and develop our passions and talents.
