Sir Ken Robinson on Creativity and Education

Sir Robinson does an excellent job entertaining and raising alarming questions about our education system. How wonderful to think of an educational system that addresses the whole being and rather than diagnosing children, helps them find their place and purpose. With education being a major driving force in the success of our country and a "close to the heart topic" for everyone, there is very little adult dialogue on the matter. Last night I had the opportunity to watch this video and discuss it with members of my community in Durango, Colorado. What a wonderful concept, for adults to sit down and discuss ideas. In order for changes to be made to our education system we need dialogue, open, adult dialogue about the purpose of education and methods that we use to educate our kids. Our educational system is broken and it is community involvement and voices of parents and citizens that will help create the paradigm shift that we so desperately need.
