RE: The Examined Education | Questioning the Current State of Education
Unfortunately there is so much emphasis put on grades, that students and teachers lose sight of the fact that education is about exploring, thinking, and learning. I never had a problem admitting that I didn't know something because to me, learning is a life long goal!100% Agree! Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. I think education will continue to move away from rote memorization , regurgitation, and competition over grades and towards improving oneself and improving the skillsets that are important to each individual.
I was fortunate to have worked in a Fine Arts where creativity was encouraged; I began my semesters showing students this video. If you want to see how education should really look like, check out Ken Robinson's videos. This was from a TED talk series years ago, but so relevant!

I will check this video out as well, thanks for sharing it!

This Ted talk was fantastic! I recommend it to everyone!
Thanks! Yes I agree...I'm so glad you enjoyed it! All of his videos are wonderful! My school actually brought him in for a talk once; the students loved him!
This is a must view video in my opinion. found it years ago.
