Some schooling may impede creativity, but the truth is there is no lack of creativity - we are awash in it. Virtually anthing anyone can think of (within the limits of what is technically feasable) already exists. Good new ideas are acted on very quickly due to competition in the market. Other ideas may take some time to implement when market forces are not at work, such as recycling practices and laws, but many of those are now reality. Why does anyone think there is a lack of creativity?
"Virtually anthing anyone can think of (within the limits of what is technically feasable) already exists".
- Only what can bring profit to your owners exists, the rest is suppressed.
Second of all
"Good new ideas are acted on very quickly due to competition in the market."
- Are you kidding me? what competition? The world is controlled by a hand full of corporations if that is what you want to call them. They all have interests that converge, they don't need to compete.
@dyablohunter Ah, you have paranoia - I don't know a cure for that. But to refute your paranoic bleatings, few people are willing to make anything that does not bring a profit, not willing even to pick vegetables, yet there is a tremendous amount of art and decoration which is not produced for profit. You are not willing to toil for no profit - why condemn others for the same? "protit to your owners": fortunately, there are gazillions of "owners" in the world at every level in the hierarchy.
@dyablohunter The world is not controlled by a handful of corporations - lay off the NPR and BBC, not good for you. Also lay off the weed. Many powerful & not so powerful entities in the world compete regionally & globally. they do need to compete because if they don't they will lose out. I would suggest you look thoroughly into the matter of for instance, why China is in Africa & Pakistan & Sri Lanka. But you won't, cuz your paranoia and loser-ism is too important to you - let it go.
People use to be fooled to pay their lives, blood & bones, with the idea "STRATEGIC NATIONAL INTEREST".
When it all said & done, THE VERY FEW CORPORATE MAFIAS end up "ENRICHING" themselves at the expense of the lives lost.
Of-coarse the World is CONTROLLED by few corporations, who FINANCE governments, who are willing to make wars, suppress people & invade nations for the corporate interest of the FEW conglomerates.
China is just sharing the bounty of former FALLEN & FALLING CORPORATE empires.
@BahreNeGash The world is not controlled by a few corporate conglomerates. There are thousands of large companies all of whom are in competition. There is little if any nexus between companies in the different major regions. For instance, Hindustan Lever is related to Lever, but does not have controlling share. India does not allow foreign nations to have more than 49% share. China is one large corporation. But what does this have to do with Education killing creativity?
If India paid for your EDUCATION & AMERICAN CONGLOMERATE BOUGHT your creativity, what's left for India?
You ALREADY made my point, "India does not allow foreign nations to have more than 49% share", which means INDIA does NOT have 100% control of it's own resources, manpower & products made in it's own soil.
Therefore, the Global conglomerates who own 49% of India, MULTIPLIED BY ALL THE SHARES all over the world, the GLOBAL CONGLOMERATES have more power to decide your FATE, than India can.
@BahreNeGash I don't think India paid for my education - I live in the USA which has few economic ties with India. Come on now, paranoia unchecked can lead to schizophrenia. Most of India is still owned by Indians. There is no overarching Conglomerate. All nations & businesses are in competitio with each other. Not even OPEC has total control. What does your paranoia have to do with schools killing creativity. Where in th world is there a lack of creativity, except for less in poor nations.
You said,, "India does not allow foreign nations to have more than 49% share."?
In tha case, INDIA educates it's people to be creative citizens but INDIA only gets 51% share of the very people it educates, while the 49% share is SOLD to GLOBAL CORPORATIONS.
In case you miss the point, American Companies MOVING to China for cheap labor, vast market & vast profit, CERTAINLLY determine American economy, employmenytt, education & creativity.
@BahreNeGash News flash! The world is now a global economy, where each affects others. Only OPEC nations, mostly their rulers, are unaffected as they control the energy source for all. So what are you going to do - complain along the tired old lines of "corporations are bad"? A lot of Indians own a lot of wealth in the USA and Africa. The lines of investment & ownership are many and criss-cross the oceans. You are not sane, I think you know that. Give up the resentment, it will make you crazy.
OHhhhhhhhhh,,,, "News flash! The world is now a global economy, where each affects others".
OH REALLY,,, For the English who LOOTED INDIA FOR MORE THAN 300yrs,,, the world has ALWAYS been a global economy, where each affect", SERVING ENGLISH EMPIRE & ENGLISH ECONOMY, at the EXPENSE OF INDIA & THE REST OF THE WORLD.
As for your question at the end, where did that came from? Why does anyone what? You are watching a video about 1 person expressing some things and you ask why does anyone think there is a lack of creativity? your question is not subjective, it is most objective and similar to: Why are we here? - George Carlin would say: Plastic! Asshole! :D. Wasn't reffering to you, it's just a line. You my friend are a product of education, you are programmed to give only certain answers to questions
@dyablohunter Well, if you have anything concrete to contribute, please do. I cant think of any field of huan endeavor in which there is a lack of creativity, including all the fields tended by those who plowed through a Western style education system. Traditional ed actually increases creativity as students learn so many things they are in a good position to mix & mingle ideas to come up with new ones, & then will know how to go about bringing the idea to fruition. Give me an example of lack.
Unfortunately the university old cronies in their ivory towers don't want it to change because they are sitting pretty. They (deans etc.) earn a lot of money and have a lot of power where they sit. Some HE's in the UK are a form of indoctrination and debt slaving. Either you believe in their way of thinking or you get a low grade or you get kicked out. Some HE institutes have become so narrow minded in this respect that they will do ANYTHING to resist this change.
California has a large penal population because a lot of n'er do wells have migrated there since 1969 due to good weather and welfare benefits. Outside the welfare system, Cali is a tough, competitive place. Add to the n'er do wells a lot of illegal immigrants from latin america with questionable morals and it all makes sense: Cali has to lock up a huge non-indigineous population...prison for the rest of the USA and latin America. And drugs make people stupid, crazy and violent.
People's talents, if they have any, are valued by the free market according to what they are worth. Thus most people are paid what they are worth. All prosperity comes from using high efficiency fuels to run motors that efficiently turn raw materials into useful products. Prosperity is what 99 percent of humans want. It is the high efficiency that allows for cash surplus to be spent on entertainment. The system mostly works.
@TheTankburger oh there is a solution but we must change many things and we must start from ourselfs. anyway we are heading in the wrong way and u can see that everyday...
I do not know how being homeschooled makes me 'as smart as a toddler for life'. I was homeschooled, and I have held a 4.0 GPA all through community college and university-top of my class. I think if anything homeschooling teaches one to think for and learn for themselves rather than having a 'teacher' shove information down their throat. Homeschooling allows the student to explore and research different ideas and decide which way is best for them.... hmmmm.... sounds a lot like creativity...
@cgmaddalozzo Would you want to write something about your experience at my blog? I'd love to hear what you have to say. :) homeschoolingwithattitude. com
@CodenameKillaD I LOVE SCHOOL! Okay don't go to school, be a complete idiot for life not knowing what is 1+1, not knowing how to read and write. Wouldn't it be awesome if you never went to school or even homeschool? You might as well be as smart as a toddler for life.
@DoNotLaughAtMe does ones standing in school make them smarter than another person? People may be book smart, but people who are just naturally good in one area will succeed there. The only problem is they never get there because they are held back by people like you who are so set on having a complete "education" that they forget that the kid could be truly brilliant.
@morbidfury1 What are you talking about ? I guess somebody never even heard of options, learning mechanics, foods, music, construction,drama , And clubs/team, swimming, track, badminton, soccer team, football, basketball. Chess, checker.
over 30 options in highschool, in mine I'm going to next year.
Yeah... School is better than no school, this video is suggesting a bit of change to it, Which I agree with this video kinda. I am on the R.B.E type of school system though.
@CodenameKillaD same half the shit i learn my teachers even admitted were not gonna use unless were some rocket scientist or whatever...school sucks ass its a waste of time
What I believe in is that creativity and knowledge are mutually exclusive. The experience in one of them does not help that in the other one. You have to advance in each one individually.
@meteor4163 what? knowledge can only HELP creativity. knowledge is a pool from which you can draw inspiration, and use to add to your creativity. closing your mind off to something and saying there is no creative value in it is exactly the worst thing you can do to for increasing and lubrication creative thought.
@thatguy431 and while you are busy "learning" your are being taught to do things a certain way. How many times do you see a teacher tell a kid to do a project a certain way, don't do this, do that. This is what Ken is trying to say, that While you are gaining knowledge, you destroy the creativity that you once had.
@morbidfury1 i understand this. i dont support that approach to education in the least, but thats not what the dude who commented said. he only said creativity and knowledge are mutually exclusive, which is a pretty closed minded statement. but even doing a project in a certain way shouldnt make you limit yourself in projects outside of school.
School is another Robin Hood taking from the rich-minded and giving to the poor-minded.
:)
School acts like a pattern that favors less intelligent ones, making them smart enough to later integrate into society, at the price of sacrificing the intelligent-born ones. That's what shools are all about; producing useful-to-society pawns. But there's no conspiracy out there. It just happens. It's what 99% of the teachers can produce anyways, as they're not creative enough to educate creative students.
I pretty much had MORE creativity when I had BETTER grades, ergo creativy comes from yourself not from school or lack of it or whatever. It's about everything. But then again, I live in Portugal, I don't know.
@SpicyHam - no, that's not a REHTORICAL question. It's the truth. Stop sitting around waiting to be noticed - for doing what, exactly? - and develop some skill or do some kind of service/volunteer work and create something positive. You are not the center of the universe and neither is your school. The world is a big place and you can find/make your place in it, and not wait for it to be handed to you. But it take some effort, maybe even work, maybe even studying and learning new things.
Teachers are not all to blame. They are told what they must do by the school boards and administrators, and most of all the state and federal legislators. The people closest to the job have the least amount of respect and control over being efficient at their work. So, who is surprised??? the persons in power will control the quality of education. I am so tired of hearing people rag on the teachers. I've been in my child's school and subbed. The teachers love what they do, despite being inhibit

Dont blame teachers.... its the machine... education is becoming more and more mandated, standardized, and assessed at the federal level (a power not granted to the federal govt in the constitution, but thats another day)
NCLB and RTTT exacerbate the negative aspects of public education. Textbook companies and popular media conspire with governmental officials to keep teachers from improving this situation.
ii agree. art is all that i'm good at, and i'm really good at it, but i'm considered a very poor student because i like to think outside the box and do things diferently. of course, i live in a ultra-sonservative suburb, so there you go...
The tragedy of simplistic comments: they blame teachers, simplistic in that people don't know what else to blame; tragic because there are millions of excellent teachers. There are also bad cops, lawyers, mechanics, parents, and students. However, national polls suggest most parents give their child's teacher and school good to high ratings, but in the next breath disparage the public school system nationally as abysmal. A contradiction exists, and abysmal sells big to an ignorant public.
hahah yeah but this is kinda bullshit cause world just dont work that way. everybody would be some sort of artist doing shit. the thing is, if a person is a truly talended for example in music or in painting he/she will be a pro artist. but most of u guys, ur not that good. so theres a reason why math skills are wayy more important than some painting/dance skill just think about technology and how it helps humankind. its all about maths and physics not some dance skill
@kidpokerr I think we have already tried to put math & physics first before the creative part, & look were we are now! You don't even know that it is creativity that innovation comes from. Without that so called bullshit that you so say that don't work that way, you would never have any inspiration to bring innovation from the imagination, the drawing board, & to real life, & you will never have your E=mc2, Alexanader Bell's invention, or this internet & computer you just typed your comment.
@kidpokerr And another thing; if you speak harshly about artist, then you hatefully about Michael Angelo; you might forgot that was a artist too, & yet he contriubed a pretty much to science! And there are others like him who used art to inspired innovation that praved a way another scienist & inventors! So please watch your way you called things before you called something bullshit.
5:10 TRUE! You know, if you just UNDERSTAND how things work, higher education is EASIER for you??!! But if you are horribly bad at just MEMORIZING things WITHOUT being taught the underlying principle, or just having to memorize things that you can LOOK UP (which is why you don't BOTHER memorizing in the first place!) you are gonna have a tremendously DIFFICULT time at the lower levels and then give up on education all together! But memorizing is an esteemed skill. It is deemed more valueable...
Television, Hollywood, Pop music, sites like facebook, twitter are actually more dangerous to the mind than the current school curriculum that is forced into children. The children of today are literally being taught to be unnatural humans & to love to the mainstream world & to make love to a dollar sign. I remember Frank Zappa once used the words "Socially Retarded" & that is what most of our young adults, youth & children of today actually are. Its fucking tragic & that's an understatement.
This applies to my life in so many ways. I am sixteen years old, and I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. With the increase in schoolwork and homework, I have had a terrible time keeping up with my schools. I have realized that through my entire life I have struggled to do well in school, and it has suppressed my creative ideas. I have grown to be so scared of failure that when pursuing the things that I actually enjoy, like writing music for my band, I am at a complete lack of creativity.
@kynwyn I believe that for the quote from Einstein - "Imagination is more important than knowledge." imagination can easy boost your creativity. If you'r interested in help in the creativity department, your may try go to audible.com & download an these audiobooks: "Be Creative" by Guy Claxton and Bill Lucas,
"Creative Visualization" by Shakti Gawain, & maybe you can throw in "Creative Visualization Meditations" to learn how to use the power of your imagination to create what you want.
@kynwyn It just might be the thing to help you learn some useful methods for using mental imagery and affirmation to produce positive change. It will give you some useful pionters in creative visualization techniques are used successfully in the fields of health, athletics, business, education, and the creative arts, the thing you're looking to make better. So why not look in to that? Check it out; What do have to lose?
See Sir Ken Live in Norwich UK on The 18th of November. I'm lucky I live in Norwich I'll be there go to his web site 'around the world' tab or search specialist education.
Capitalism is the wage slavery of immense humanity in a politically manipulated MARKET SYSTEM of artificial scarcity and manipulation to perpetuate the conditions of servitude and exploitation of the working people in the interest of the owning/ruling elite. Capitalism is historically outdated,dangerous destructive ,dehumanising and devaluing all and everything in its insatiable,nomadic rampaging of profit . Capitalism is evil
School is something like a prison camp where kids are conditioned to fear authority, and compete for prestige and popularity based on myopic consumerist values. Kids are normally too young to realise this is happening until it's too late, and most parents who know choose to ignore it because it's convenient to send kids to school.
I don't know if that's the whole truth, or truth at all; maybe a side of the truth
@chipmunkspunk You are mostly correct. The schools are in a sense, indoctrination centers for students to teach them to obey authority, never question government and become drones.
I appealed to enter music elective two years ago when I got into a 7 subject stream which didn't allow me to. The teacher didn't even ask me if I had any musical background or anything, just sent me away with a straight no. No reason given.
I had been doing post grade 8 piano, grade 6 cello, self learning guitar (I have perfect pitch), and none of it mattered.
Schools are at the receiving end of everyone else's ways of doing things, so that they can only wake up when the state wakes up, and the state when the government wakes up.
Funny how John Lennon was told by his contermporaries that he would never make a living out of music. Yet look where his talent took him!
I swear I don't think that most of the creative people of the world have done well in school. Not that it's a bad thing I'm just saying that Ken Robinson has a point.
@kdgreer0 I agree with you as well. Being wrong doesn't mean being creative, but what we do know is that if we're not READY to be wrong, we will never come up with anything original. By the time when a child grows up to an adult, he loses that capacity because schools in our generation don't teach how to think, but rather what to think. It's either correct or wrong in our test, there is no alternative.
"half the beetles in his classroom and he missed it"
Goes to show how indifferent teachers are and how they have been instructed to teach in a way that noone would benefit from it or even learn anything useful at all. Thats the sad truth about the education system worldwide.
The factor "Unique", or "Special", or "Different", does not exist in any classroom.
:-) First: not school kill creativity, the parents kill in the first three years the Braincells of the child. Second: The Abbey Road is a must be in liverpool :-) Third: Jung von Matt is worldwide the Nr. 1 agency in Creativity :-) Fourth: The meaning of a "free will" is a error. Fith: Everbody is creative, but the "Quality" is important and not the quantity. Sixt: Do you rent your car by Sixt? :-)
OK - look "Early Childhood, Brain Development and Communication." Thanks,and have a nice day :-)
okay, they don't have to pay attention to you, and you don't have to pay attention to them. Unless you have a strong forte, what are you going to do? Honestly, I've taught myself everything, and the time I spent in school was a waste, but I stayed because they said it would be worth it. Look at community colleges with programs around you or find something. Staying there = rot.
@SpicyHam May I ask, what do you do to add something positive to your school? What do YOU do that's creative and beautiful and worth being noticed? Just wondering...
@ceiligirl23 I didn't do a damn thing to add shit to my school. Why? Because the whole mess was nothing but a waste of time. Utterly useless. Then I got a full scholarship to Carnegie-Mellon University. And guess what? That was utterly useless, as well.
@ SpicyHam So, I'm curious. You say you're totally ignored by your school. I have to wonder: what do you do that is worthy of notice? Do you add anything creative? Unique? Different (in a positive, not psychopathic, way)? Or are you one of just thinking you should be noticed because you're THERE, and therefore deserving of attention. If you want to feel less ignored, try doing something purposeful with your time and talents. Then you'll be too busy and too happy and proud of yourself to care.
Do schools kill creativity? If creativity was a person schools would be it's concentration camp! I think that young people are going through a creativity holocaust perpetrated by teachers especially ones who hate their jobs. Everyone who agrees this is a disgusting inconvenient truth give me a thumbs up. BTW I'm only twenty years old and I understand this.
@74u73hjd It is not the teachers who perpetrate this holocaust, and I do agree with you it is a type of holocaust, but it started with George Bush and NCLB. I have been a teacher for 20 years, and I love my job, and I love learning and teaching every day I'm at school. Before NCLB, I was able to use my creatively and intuition to carry out the curriculum in the way I felt would reach my students in the best manner possible. This is no longer possible. We are told what, when and how to teach
@Consumerofknowledge really, now how would this work, we who can't stop the wars, who can't create a better health care system, who over the last ten plus years continue to watch society's care for humanity deteriorate. I agree completely with Ken Robinson comments in this video.
As a teacher, within the public school system, I work to bring a love of learning through creativity. A favorite quote which hangs on my classroom wall is by Einstein - "Imagination is more important than knowledge"
@74u73hjd you get my three thumbs up man. I think that is EXACTLY one of the reason why education fails. Teaching simply doesn't pay. In our capitalistic world, pardon me but lesser beings get payed less and there's nothing wrong with that. But what's wrong in this case is that those lesser beings affect childrens who have the potential of trillions of dollars worth of ideas and talents. We must re-think the entire perception on teaching, and the position of teaching.
@74u73hjd i think more than teachers, it's the system above them. Though I won't deny that there are teachers who are just unrelentingly stifling to their students
@74u73hjd It's not happening because teachers hate their jobs, it has nothing whatsoever with that reasoning of yours. It has to do with the curriculum of NO Child Left Behind, and this dull and boring, repetitious curriculum, and I'll agree with you deadening, is there for the less affluent schools. The affluent schools in affluent neighborhoods pass bonds, get more money and get to teach in an entirely different way.
@Elin48 Agreed, it's the system and the teaching format. If children were taught differently, the right brain would be functioning and utilized instead of shut down. This has much to do with less hands on work and more speech. There is nothing creative about sitting at a desk for hours a day looking through books. Where is the inspiration? School seems like babysitting and dulling down the mind so they can produce a better corporate slave, and when we say jump, you say how high...
@74u73hjd hey im 13 and i understand it and even thought im 13 and i was never creative i had no creativity hardly i can think for myself but i cant do anything like the people who write songs or books or do amazing art i cant do that its impossible for me
@74u73hjd I agree with you more than you may know, but I would like to point out that it's not always the teachers.. it's more the design of the educational system itself.. they are forced to bind to it. The teachers that students love, are willing to go all out, as far as they can, to make their experience better.
Teachers aren't necessarily the enemy.
But this "higher education" disaster is the culprit.
@74u73hjd I was nine when i first realized, not only are we ignored, but the councilors make things worse, teachers seem to believe sometimes that students are to be treated like objects; just a thing to use.
@74u73hjd I was nine when i first realized it, councilors hurt people they're supposed to help, Nurses just ignore patients quite a lot, teachers drag lessons down to the lowest denominator of the student body.
"higher education" is not the culprit, Elementary School is, where you cannot speak, cannot express, cannot even walk outside of lines.
yes i agree i can never draw in my class which already answering the question for me... and im a good drawer and it is really annoying and i got high marks in class and didnt lose no credits..
legalize, regulate, and tax drugs, treat addiction as a medical problem, not a criminal one, and at least half of that prison population would be tax-paying citizens again.
u are exempt from paying for your house lol and your apartment because my dad told me people who go to jail in the winter time only do that to avoid winter time lol i forgot how he called them
a school where they say no drawing in class which is mine is destroying creativity around the country but im just saying if all schools were like mine... about 4/6 of my schools in the past 5 years did say no drawings in class... so i disagree with what you have to say
Hah, I was told in school to stop reading. Not like, at the end of a class; in general. "You will bring books to school..." the teacher said. Seriously, no reading allowed.
It depends on the teacher, many teachers as the one mentioned by Mr.RObinson ABOUND! They are incompetent teachers and they eo have the power over the minds of youngsters, regardless of the institution they are in. You can find excellent teachers in the Public System, as well as in the private one, and viceversa, the bad ones too.
I do the exact oppsite of everything my teachers told me to do

Asshole! :D. Wasn't reffering to you, it's just a line. You my friend are a product of education, you are programmed to give only certain answers to questions

@dyablohunter Well, if you have anything concrete to contribute, please do. I cant think of any field of huan endeavor in which there is a lack of creativity, including all the fields tended by those who plowed through a Western style education system. Traditional ed actually increases creativity as students learn so many things they are in a good position to mix & mingle ideas to come up with new ones, & then will know how to go about bringing the idea to fruition. Give me an example of lack.

California has a large penal population because a lot of n'er do wells have migrated there since 1969 due to good weather and welfare benefits. Outside the welfare system, Cali is a tough, competitive place. Add to the n'er do wells a lot of illegal immigrants from latin america with questionable morals and it all makes sense: Cali has to lock up a huge non-indigineous population...prison for the rest of the USA and latin America.

People's talents, if they have any, are valued by the free market according to what they are worth. Thus most people are paid what they are worth. All prosperity comes from using high efficiency fuels to run motors that efficiently turn raw materials into useful products. Prosperity is what 99 percent of humans want. It is the high efficiency that allows for cash surplus to be spent on entertainment. The system mostly works.

I do not know how being homeschooled makes me 'as smart as a toddler for life'. I was homeschooled, and I have held a 4.0 GPA all through community college and university-top of my class. I think if anything homeschooling teaches one to think for and learn for themselves rather than having a 'teacher' shove information down their throat. Homeschooling allows the student to explore and research different ideas and decide which way is best for them.... hmmmm.... sounds a lot like creativity...

School acts like a pattern that favors less intelligent ones, making them smart enough to later integrate into society, at the price of sacrificing the intelligent-born ones. That's what shools are all about; producing useful-to-society pawns. But there's no conspiracy out there. It just happens. It's what 99% of the teachers can produce anyways, as they're not creative enough to educate creative students.

The tragedy of simplistic comments: they blame teachers, simplistic in that people don't know what else to blame; tragic because there are millions of excellent teachers. There are also bad cops, lawyers, mechanics, parents, and students. However, national polls suggest most parents give their child's teacher and school good to high ratings, but in the next breath disparage the public school system nationally as abysmal. A contradiction exists, and abysmal sells big to an ignorant public.

5:10 TRUE! You know, if you just UNDERSTAND how things work, higher education is EASIER for you??!!

School is something like a prison camp where kids are conditioned to fear authority, and compete for prestige and popularity based on myopic consumerist values. Kids are normally too young to realise this is happening until it's too late, and most parents who know choose to ignore it because it's convenient to send kids to school.
I don't know if that's the whole truth, or truth at all; maybe a side of the truth

It's either correct or wrong in our test, there is no alternative.

legalize, regulate, and tax drugs, treat addiction as a medical problem, not a criminal one, and at least half of that prison population would be tax-paying citizens again.

Do Schools Destroy Creativity?
No, but I'm not sure that school has the ability to nurture creativity in an age where new ideas are considered the enemy.

a school where they say no drawing in class which is mine is destroying creativity around the country but im just saying if all schools were like mine... about 4/6 of my schools in the past 5 years did say no drawings in class... so i disagree with what you have to say

Hah, I was told in school to stop reading. Not like, at the end of a class; in general. "You will bring books to school..." the teacher said. Seriously, no reading allowed.

It depends on the teacher, many teachers as the one mentioned by Mr.RObinson ABOUND! They are incompetent teachers and they eo have the power over the minds of youngsters, regardless of the institution they are in. You can find excellent teachers in the Public System, as well as in the private one, and viceversa, the bad ones too.
