There is a high school in the Philippines called Philippine High School of the Arts where student scholars are systematically educated in the arts (dance, drama, painting, music, etc.) alongside their basic high school education.
one of the best videos on the net.The amount of time globally thats wasted teaching kids crap thats irrelavant that could be spent on hiv,cancer and ageing research is astronomical.seriously when i was 16 we were being taught how to tell the difference between broadsheets and tabloids and were drawing pictures with crayons and watching disney cartoons(in our late teens we were doing stuff that 4 year olds could master a joke right?)by then we should have been doing scientific research
this video is absolutely brilliant. it brings us to a foundation of where we were before and where we are now in our society with education. its sad but true. I gotta thank my English teacher, Ms.Hanson for introducing me to this video
Went from being a good student to a drop out because standardized testing as an idea did not fly with me. So hard to disagree with what this man says.
im glad that someone finally showed me how too say something about the education system. i think everyday that theres something wrong going on here but never came up with the words to say something about it
i was thinking that too about the subjects, cause here we choose our subjects in year 11, 12 and 13 but then english maths and science is compulsory in year 11 and english is compulsory in year 12 and i was wondering why THEY had to be compulsory and not something else!
Sir Ken was the keynote speaker at the 2011 AMS Montessori Conference. He is a supporter of that model. Of course, he can not support it exclusively because various students will need specialized interventions and different approaches to meet their needs. Nevertheless, the Montessori model was created to support independence, intelligence, critical thinking skills, and the development of self-discipline, while also celebrating community, culture and creativity. Sir Ken is one of our heroes!
What this guy says is mostly true. The current education system is flawed horribly. This is in large part due to the strict regulations dictating what can and cannot be taught in schools. Education Equality acts are as much to blame. Compulsory education might look good on paper, but it LOWERS the standard and brings about things like standardized testing.
@strife93 Roosterteeth is a company that do online stuff such as videos, they also have community forums. Monty does motion capture for the company, he posted this link in his blog
@MrScottyTay *Facepalm* He knows what RoosterTeeth is you idiot. He was being sarcastic and asking what "RoosterTeethe" is and how its misspelled with an "E" on the end.
Did he say there was no crisis in natural resources? We're running out of food! 90% of our crop dependency is on 3 crops. I agree with the idea he stops short of saying - namely that anti-depressants cause people to commit suicide. I never touched them, but re-programmed my brain away from its bi-polar tendencies. Be wary of doctors pushing their pills. Think yourself well.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.~Bertrand Russell

He's a Ph.D which technically means he's a Doctor of Philosophy, which I think fits pretty well considering his lecture.
I have always felt like school was a waste of my time. And I always felt like a fool sitting in a class room learning about quantum physics, which we will NEVER really need to use in our lifetimes. Thank you, Ken Robinson, for confirming my belief that the school system needs to change. Teachers, government officials, EVERYONE needs to see this and form a opinion.
@aerogirl1023 you d have been better in a class other than quantum physics, but quantum physics is in use all over the world. Ken actually mentioned QP in this talk as part of the wonders of the world.
Excellent lecture on how the present system of education actually destroys learning and creativity. By indoctrinating children to a program where they are conditioned to think along the lines of a jealously guarded system, their individual creativity is often destroyed. Ken Robinson's lectures should be required for all educational administrators and teachers particularly in the public school system.

I hope someday in the future people will be able to learn what they want to learn and in an effective manner with other people of similar interests which give rise to people who are self-incentivized to perform certain actions and things without having to succumb to society's judgement of economic utility of such actions, knowledge and skills. Most people, my peers, I see could not give a care in the world for what is taught and structured in school and would rather be doing something else.
i fully agree the whole westernised world is compley corrupt, it goes alot higher up than the bankers tho, we live in infomation age now. Because our socity is for the capitalist individual money is power and anything to do with alot money has control bye governments, banks, multinational companys and so on. over the last 10 years the human race has really woken up to damage we are doing to the plant and each other, money will
If we atomize people and judge them separately, while smothering each of them into a DEBT while educating them into this fraud, the BANKERS maintain control over them.
Hello!
Is anyone on this frequency; how loud are you hearing me, please respond?
have no meaning or value one day because it is just an idea that out society is based apon. but its to little to late and because we are such huge consumers and the only way we know is forward. the future is very scary place for the human race its going to get alot worse before it get s better the signs are everywhere. i fell that i can only blame my self and point the finger at no one because we are all apart of this no matter how small or big.....
@centurion180ad well its not secret that this is the era of "control" . Where everything that we do has been already planned for us. And theyre just taking us through a railroad without letting us see in detail all the landscape. We're basicly (thanks to this systems of education and "society") robots just fitting in what they want for our lives and not letting us keep on going with our true potentials
Too bad that the creative thought that gave rise to the building up of Las Vegas was THE MAFIA murdering Italian criminals, with all their felonious proceeds of extortion, racketeering, graft, narcotics trafficking and all the other trappings of organized crime, to include the crooked cops, judges, attorneys and officials that gladly allowed themselves to be bought off.
I wonder if Bill Gates has watched this. He has a lot of money by the same dubious means that he intends to use for reviving or improving our schools. He studies statistical research on value added to see what works and what doesn't in American schools. He is a businessman with business ways. Using measurement of value added, based on standardized tests, he evaluates teachers. We are assured that statisticians have confirmed the validity of the results.
Amazing, inspiring... I'm speachless.... Could never believe I would sit in front of a video lecture for 55 minutes when I have exams to study to! This is the one of the most interesting piece of information I have ever recieved.
@eladruf That's the sad part that a self-educated man like me listens to multiple 2 hour lectures every day, often times left wanting more and running out all the available data on one lecturer, while someone like you has to go through the hoops of learning a by-built program that has the agreed upon data that the guys who learned what you learned 50 years ago have decided to put in.
universities share the same problem. and i don't know how all this stuff works in other countries, but in spanish ones you just have to study before the exams, spit your knowledge and then forget it after the exams and continue with your life.
the information age has left high school dead in the water.In a decade or two the days of pretty in pink ,pop quizes,high school proms and everything we associate with teenagers today will be a thing of the past in a couple
As an Artist I have seen Art slowly disappear from slight existence to nothing. Maybe it has also gone to California instead of being sent to Coventry.
It's not goodbye to art in the UK, it has never ever been here. Not for the children, that's for sure. Be brave get Mathematics out and let our kids create.
Stop the talk and take action Ken. Or go watch Mooji.
I go to an arts school in Canada, and (before I arrived two years ago), they were almost entirely arts focused. Academics were almost on the backburner, compared to fine arts, photography, dramatics, and, yes, even dance.
Now, however, the administration has decided that academics should come first, and we should focus more on being an IB (International Baccalaureate) school with high grades. It's awful, as we're an inner city arts school.
@SciFiHero I'm curious, are you talking about Victoria Comp? I went there, and it was the same situation: a completely arts-focused school, but then the old principal retired, and an academics-focused one came in. I don't know about the principal(s) that came after because I graduated in '02. IB was always around--it was mandatory when I was in junior high there, but it was optional in high school. I was very glad I took some IB classes (art, history), but full IB would have driven me bonkers.
Isn't it a pity that we didn't all get invited to California.! Lucky you Ken!! Then we too would have a decent chance in the Arts because the UK National Curriculum has been Art destructive since William Shripley and way beyond him. When will our children have a chance to actually pursue Art, Drama and Music TOGETHER in Secondary School, and then into human life.
@the1booth They don't listen to him because of control. The government won't change the entire system based on Sir Ken. They want control and they don't listen to anyone, no matter how much Sir Ken 'gets it'. Excuse my French, but everyone who doesn't think he should be king of the world is a cunt.
@BenAlldridge On januari 25 my University has some talks of some people. One of them is Richard Gerver, a friend of Ken. And he will talk about changing this paradigm, so maybe there will be some change. I surely hope so, cause what we do now is just killing our potential!
Standardized testing - taking teachers and students out of the most effective relationship dynamic for several days of the term, and using the results of those few days to determine if the most effective relationship dynamic is effective.
In Canadian teaching programs, there just isn't the same worry about funding and job security based on Standardized Testing achievement. I feel for you US teaching professionals. Really, I do.
As a teacher, I pay attention to the kids I teach as people and I really don't pay too much attention to the system (curriculum + formal assessment). From what I have seen, this 'system' is trying to measure our kids and failing and then somehow confusing that failure with the kids' performance as learners. This is the quickest way to stifle their potential..
Never thought a 15-year-old kid from the Midwest could actually be interested in this kind of lecture. But, here I am, and inspired to change a few people's minds about education if I ever get the chance.
Very inspirational, witty and funny. I like this guy more than most standup comedians.
Sir Robinson makes me think of Célestin Freinet and his view on education. This talk shows the true genius of Freinet, who had similar ideas almost 90 years ago.
The whole idea of how schools work school is wrong.
It is viewed as a place where you learn useful stuff. Actually that is true.
But this is not the only thing that happens. You grow up there. You become a person, preferably yourself. But the system just gives you stuff. It does not help you become you it pushes that part of life to the background.
Bringing individuality to the foreground would make you integrate skills. They would have a place within *you* instead of *them* 'defining' you.
If you spend an hour passively watching today, make sure it's early and make sure it's watching this. Then make sure you spend two hours spreading the word!
when was this talk given?

I hope someday in the future people will be able to learn what they want to learn and in an effective manner with other people of similar interests which give rise to people who are self-incentivized to perform certain actions and things without having to succumb to society's judgement of economic utility of such actions, knowledge and skills. Most people, my peers, I see could not give a care in the world for what is taught and structured in school and would rather be doing something else.

i fully agree the whole westernised world is compley corrupt, it goes alot higher up than the bankers tho, we live in infomation age now. Because our socity is for the capitalist individual money is power and anything to do with alot money has control bye governments, banks, multinational companys and so on. over the last 10 years the human race has really woken up to damage we are doing to the plant and each other, money will

If we atomize people and judge them separately, while smothering each of them into a DEBT while educating them into this fraud, the BANKERS maintain control over them.

@centurion180ad well its not secret that this is the era of "control" . Where everything that we do has been already planned for us. And theyre just taking us through a railroad without letting us see in detail all the landscape. We're basicly (thanks to this systems of education and "society") robots just fitting in what they want for our lives and not letting us keep on going with our true potentials

Too bad that the creative thought that gave rise to the building up of Las Vegas was THE MAFIA murdering Italian criminals, with all their felonious proceeds of extortion, racketeering, graft, narcotics trafficking and all the other trappings of organized crime, to include the crooked cops, judges, attorneys and officials that gladly allowed themselves to be bought off.

I wonder if Bill Gates has watched this. He has a lot of money by the same dubious means that he intends to use for reviving or improving our schools. He studies statistical research on value added to see what works and what doesn't in American schools. He is a businessman with business ways. Using measurement of value added, based on standardized tests, he evaluates teachers. We are assured that statisticians have confirmed the validity of the results.

@eladruf That's the sad part that a self-educated man like me listens to multiple 2 hour lectures every day, often times left wanting more and running out all the available data on one lecturer, while someone like you has to go through the hoops of learning a by-built program that has the agreed upon data that the guys who learned what you learned 50 years ago have decided to put in.

As an Artist I have seen Art slowly disappear from slight existence to nothing. Maybe it has also gone to California instead of being sent to Coventry.
It's not goodbye to art in the UK, it has never ever been here. Not for the children, that's for sure. Be brave get Mathematics out and let our kids create.
Stop the talk and take action Ken. Or go watch Mooji.

I go to an arts school in Canada, and (before I arrived two years ago), they were almost entirely arts focused. Academics were almost on the backburner, compared to fine arts, photography, dramatics, and, yes, even dance.
Now, however, the administration has decided that academics should come first, and we should focus more on being an IB (International Baccalaureate) school with high grades. It's awful, as we're an inner city arts school.

sarajevo1995 1 year ago
@SciFiHero I'm curious, are you talking about Victoria Comp? I went there, and it was the same situation: a completely arts-focused school, but then the old principal retired, and an academics-focused one came in. I don't know about the principal(s) that came after because I graduated in '02. IB was always around--it was mandatory when I was in junior high there, but it was optional in high school. I was very glad I took some IB classes (art, history), but full IB would have driven me bonkers.
datalal624 1 year ago
Isn't it a pity that we didn't all get invited to California.! Lucky you Ken!! Then we too would have a decent chance in the Arts because the UK National Curriculum has been Art destructive since William Shripley and way beyond him. When will our children have a chance to actually pursue Art, Drama and Music TOGETHER in Secondary School, and then into human life.

@the1booth They don't listen to him because of control. The government won't change the entire system based on Sir Ken. They want control and they don't listen to anyone, no matter how much Sir Ken 'gets it'. Excuse my French, but everyone who doesn't think he should be king of the world is a cunt.

@BenAlldridge On januari 25 my University has some talks of some people. One of them is Richard Gerver, a friend of Ken. And he will talk about changing this paradigm, so maybe there will be some change. I surely hope so, cause what we do now is just killing our potential!

Standardized testing - taking teachers and students out of the most effective relationship dynamic for several days of the term, and using the results of those few days to determine if the most effective relationship dynamic is effective.
In Canadian teaching programs, there just isn't the same worry about funding and job security based on Standardized Testing achievement. I feel for you US teaching professionals. Really, I do.

As a teacher, I pay attention to the kids I teach as people and I really don't pay too much attention to the system (curriculum + formal assessment). From what I have seen, this 'system' is trying to measure our kids and failing and then somehow confusing that failure with the kids' performance as learners. This is the quickest way to stifle their potential..

Sir Robinson makes me think of Célestin Freinet and his view on education. This talk shows the true genius of Freinet, who had similar ideas almost 90 years ago.

The whole idea of how schools work school is wrong.
It is viewed as a place where you learn useful stuff. Actually that is true.
But this is not the only thing that happens. You grow up there. You become a person, preferably yourself. But the system just gives you stuff. It does not help you become you it pushes that part of life to the background.
Bringing individuality to the foreground would make you integrate skills. They would have a place within *you* instead of *them* 'defining' you.
