Sir Ken Robinson's video tells the truth, because when we are younger we have a bunch of creativity inside of us. When we start school we have to focus on one specific thing and can't tap into our creativity. With school we have to start thinking more logically rather than creatively. The more we answer questions wrong in school we start losing our courage and bravery and not being afraid of answering questions wrong. So I think that the presentation was correct and true when saying that school kills creatively.
My thoughts on sir Kens talk was that it was very enjoyable and informational, he was talking about how creativity is as important as literacy, and i agree creativity is very important, and is something that some people grown out of.People i think these days people have lost creativity,and i wish they didn't,its important, its what sets us apart from the next person.We all need creativity to bring out the crazy ideas or have the big dreams.Creativity is a really good thing,it is what makes humans human.I absolutely loved Sir Kens talk,it was perfect, and well done.
I agree with Sir Kens explanation. Things that are often overlooked or stigmatized in school, (being good at art, creative writing, working with animals) are some of the things that some kids are best at. They know this and they know the schools don't care so they become hopeless and force themselves to integrate into more left brained learning, often this leads to misery. I have always loved writing, however when you give me a very strict and small topic to write about I will not perform as well as I would have if you just say write.
In a way I both agree and disagree with Sir Kens. He said that true ways of creativity aren’t shown with in schools, in a way is true and false. All learners are very different. Some people express their creativity through Math and Science while others demonstrate it through the subjects that are not given as much recognition. And I think he is correct, in saying that their levels of creativity are decreased with prioritizing subjects. While others thrive because their strong suit is boosted within schools.
I agree with Sir Ken Robinson because he is absolutely correct. Schools really do not teach children creativity appropriately. He talked about how the worst thing that you can do as a student is make to a mistake, and that is what educators teach kids. I think this is a very wrong view, as does Sir Ken. Mr. Robinson pointed out that people think that even though you love art and want to do it all the time, you will never get a job like and artist or author. He discourages that and I agree with him when he says that creativity is squandered.
I can relate to this video and I think that the speech was well done. The things he said really made me think about whether schools really kill creativity. I think in some ways, they do. I liked when he said how dance is equally as important as math. I really think that schools should do more to encourage creativity, and give students more opportunities to express themselves. If you want to be in a job that is more creative or artistic and schools never give you the chance to explore any of that, then you might end up never getting the chance to do what you really want to.
I believe Sir Ken Robinson is correct. His point of view has converted my mind to a different set with my thoughts on school and my attitude. I liked how he said what he needed to say and didn’t try to defend traditional education. Also, I agree with his statement that arts are important too. Not everyone is skilled and or talented in the core academics. Everyone does have a talent but, it doesn’t mean that they have found it yet. Schools should be more open to helping kids find their talent and develop it.
I think that Sir Ken Robinson was spot on with the video about schools killing students creativity. I think in some ways that schools really do kill creativity because when a teacher sees a student drawing or doodling in class they always talk down to the student and tell them to pay attention. Also, schools only tech classes such as the core classes but never do schools embrace students talents such as dance, singing, and drawing. There are clubs and sports that support this type of curriculum but it really doesn't teach students this like the core classes they take. I think more schools need to embrace students talents and have more classes that supports there creativity.
Sir Ken Robinson's video presentation regarding "schools killing creativity" was correct and I completely agree with him. I agree with him because schools always prioritize academics such as English, math, and science, when actually art classes for development are as important as those classes. Now, I know that English and math help simple thinking and you learn simple skills such as reading and writing. But, when schools just teach you those basic things, students do not branch themselves out because the idea of academics being the priority was planted in their heads since elementary school. Creative classes should be as important because it helps students find themselves and maybe find their profession for their future.
I firmly believe everything that Sir Ken Robinson said about school killing children's creativity. As a child, you believe that you can take on the world. Your dog can transform into a lion in your kingdom under a tree in your backyard. As children get older and get involved in school and homework, they stop using their imagination and use common knowledge to solve problems. Schools don’t often encourage the artistical and musical side of their student body. High testing scores tends to be the number one priority in majority of schools. They want their students to do well on test so they can get into a good college to get a good job and make good money. Which in the end makes the school look good. Often times, schools don’t see your dreams of dancing on Broadway or performing at Madison Square Garden or having your art work hung at Le Louvre in Paris. You go to school to learn common core so you can score well on tests to make your school look good. Schools need to begin to expand their focuses from math, science, and english to what students can learn to grow upon and find what they love to do instead of sitting at a desk attempting to figure out the value of x or why a character took upon such actions in a short story.
Sir Ken Robinson's video on "schools killing creativity" was the truth. I strongly agree with him because schools always have to have everything in an order or we always have to do it one way, not our way. When schools teach we only learn about that subject, and never include other things from other subjects into our learning. The outside world has many different things, but how will we know that if we have to focus on one thing at a time doing someone else's way.
I strongly agree with Sir Ken Robinson. When we are little we are full of creativity, we have light in our eyes, our souls are pure and good.We believe that we can take over the world and achieve our dreams. As we start to go to school we sit in a desk for 7 hours a day learning about one subject at a time. Usually these subjects don't connect. As school goes on our test scores define us. Our grades determine or future. More often then not schools expect us to get jobs that involve mathematics, science, or literature, but what if we want to be dancers or singers or artists. Schools usually think these are "unrealistic" so the cut performing arts and art classes. Forcing us to stop thinking in a creative way and think in a logical and creative way.
I agree with what Sir Ken Robinson has said, because I know that schools ask for us to think creatively or outside the box, but they implant the idea of being wrong is a bad thing. However, schools also prepare students for jobs and most jobs require what is taught. A school wants the best for students, and if that means teaching them how to get rid of creativity then they will do it. I personally don't like this idea, but it works and has worked for a long time now. Even though we may not like this and it doesn't help our creativity in the long hole, the ideals the schools teach us help prepare us for our futures.
I agree with the guy in the video. We have tons of creativity when we are little but schools rip that away by teaching us that mistakes are awful and we should never make them. Kids become afraid to make mistakes because of school, but mistakes are what helps creativity grow. Its called trial and error.
I agree with Sir Ken Robinson. I think that we are spending time learning about everything except the things we are good at. We don't have enough opportunities to express our creativities while in school. Though it is still good to focus on the actual learning portion of school, I think that schools should have more chances for students to express themselves through creativity. I have never really realized how much schools do kill creativity. This was a very thought-provoking video, I liked it.
I agree with Sir Ken Robinson because when we were younger and in early elementary school we had a lot more creativity freedom, like we could draw or color what we wanted, and then once we started graduating to older grades we we restricted more. Now that we are in High School we don't have time for creativity between school, homework, work, and even things at home. If we spend 6 or 7 hours from 7 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon is a long time for a young person to just be sitting there being lectured, told what to and what not to do, which kills our creativity. In conclusion I think schools should loosen up with what we can and cannot do regarding art and other things such as what we want to be in the future.
I think schools actually encourage creativity to some extent. Over the years of schools we've definitely lost a lot of creativity. Kindergarteners and elementary students constantly make projects that requires using your imagination and knowledge. Kids even made stuff that didn't include knowledge just fun like making mothers day gifts. The older you get school projects are less about using your creativity and more about the main picture. School is less about using our creativity and more about the tests and that's what determines your future.
Sir Ken's Robinson's video about "Schools Killing Creativity" shows the influence that schools have on children is unbelievable. Kids grow up having all of these hopes and dreams about what they want to do when they grow up and all of the things they want to do. School shows and tells kids what they should do and how they should do it. School limits their creativity and ideas about things in the world. The grade you get determines how logical you are compared to how creative you are. Teachers encourage you to thing in a logical manner compared to a creative way.
I agree with the Sir Ken Robinson. Schools focus on the right way and wrong way of doing things. I’ve never had a teacher that just let me do me. I had to do it the way the teachers told me to do it. I don’t raise my hand in class because I’m always afraid of being wrong. Creativity is killed with wrong and right. The numbers on our report cards become more important than having a passion to write or to do a sport. We become a letter and loss ourselves to the future we want. We don’t follow what we want to become because it might not pay enough to support the future.
I agree with what Sir Ken Robinson said, Because although school asks us to think outside the box, they also implant the thought that failure is a bad thing. Schools also teach us how to be successful and that we are going to fail but, to get back up and try again. But schools know that if they need to get rid of creativity to teach students right then they will. I really don't agree with this idea but that's just my opinion, sometimes thinking outside the box works and sometimes it doesn't. School may not help our creativity but, it help us with our future. It also comes to me that kids grow up being told what to do and how to do it. and they cant do it creatively. Schools do require creativity at times though.
I agree with the perspective of Sir Ken Robinson and how the education system defeats the purpose of imagination and creativity. During our development of our brains and other things we should be able to show different creativity and develop different learning styles. Teachers have told us to write a specific way instead of our own way. Education can only get us so far in life but our creativity can lead us to our afterlives. All of us are artists in different ways. I am a artist in volleyball but some other people are artist in math, science, language arts, social studies, and other things that our world revolves around. We should all be able to the creatively instead of cogent thinking
After watching Sir Ken Robinson's video about "schools killing creativity?" I agree with his argument. With what I agree is that when you get older the less creativity is being used. School is more based on getting good scores on test, having to get homework done so you can understand the concept that is being used in school. Not much creativity is being used in school work today. Creativity should be used everyday in school because it can improve the paragraphs and it can improve the student's grades. I think what classes need the most creativity is English and Math. In English you literally read a article, story, or even a script and you are told to write about what you read, I think that in any English class there should be more creativity and more questions that let you use more creativity. Also, in math I think that creativity is used the least. In math you are taught the lesson and then you practice on that subject that you just learned. There is no creativity that is being used in math. By using creativity more students can understand and to overview the topics they learned and they also can remember what they learned. Creativity should be applied more in school.
I agree with Sir Ken Robinson and his video regarding how schools are killing creativity. When Sir Ken Robinson talks about when a child does not know, they will take a chance because they are not afraid to be wrong. If you are prepared to take a chance you are being original. Isn't being original being creative in a way? When the child grows up that part of them that is creative is lost because they are afraid of being wrong and embarrassing themselves. According to Sir Ken Robinson the schools are educating children out of their creativity. All children are born artists but to remain an artist they must hold on to their creativity. Part of the schools killing creativity is by placing mathematics and languages above the arts like dance. Schools focus mainly on children's brains and nothing else. Creativity should be encouraged throughout a child's school years and beyond.
Sir Ken Robinson and I are on the same page with the purpose of the video "Do Schools Kill Creativity?". In this generation kids are expected to sit in a classroom and learn straight from their teacher's words and lectures. Students don't experience any creativity with this learning environment. Some schools offer electives like art and woods which uses creativity to build or draw things. These classes only teach a portion of the school. Creativity is an advantage in life for children and adults. People can imagine and think with a unique way if they have creativity. Therefore, schools should encourage more students to be more creative in able to be more successful. (Late becuse of trouble logging in)
