The creative expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way that we teach our children. He defends the radical rethinking of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and recognize multiple types of intelligence.
:)I feel you, I tried but It was not the thing for me, al though I really believe in learning stuff or maybe better educating yourself.
My niece is going to a Vrije school- Free Scool. Nothing to do with money, but there are animals at the playground like chickens etc. And they let more nature grow. It much more about playing outdoors then learning boring stuf.
Apparently is a total different style of education. More focusing on the individual then fitting to a standard norm.
I grew up on a farm much like your nieces school and I think that helped me survive alone with my Mom letting me draw as much as I wanted! I don't think there is a standard norm, that was made up to meld minds to fit into the industrial revolution need for workers, managers, and teachers.
That's not bad growing up like that. I was lucky my mom let me play outside a lot. I was't allowed to watch tv all day every day. And I'm glad now for that.

Maybe it wasn't made up. But it grew to a point to where we at now.
What about 30 children in a class, forced to be silent and to sit in a standard form. Learning the same boring stuff? Learning children they have to go to scool 32 hours a week, practising a full time job. I think is pretty standard,
9 out of scool here are like that. There are not much alternative here in The Netherlands but im not really an expert on this its just i.m.o.
@ted-talk - Actually, the school is the place where we learn most of the good things as well as bad things in our lives. I went to a free school, and, we have free education here. Really we didn't improve our creativity . I totally agree with you Sire. If we want to have an intelligent generation, we need to change the traditional way, that we teach our children. That is the only thing we can do Sire. I would be highly appreciated the way you think. Therefore, I wish to ReSteem your post Sire.
A brilliant mind this man has.
He is speaks well, you can tell he is used to giving university lectures lololol and he has some good one liners ;-)
I never grew out of my creativity, the public schools couldn't kill it but they tried.
They did for me, been confused for a long time... Is just since a few years now that I am starting to get back my creativity.
its never too late :)
I know ;) And I learned a lot anyways in the path I'v walked, so it whasn't a complete waste of time :p
Actually, always look at the bright side I guess :)
Im so glad i skipped scool a lot :)
@markush, I tried my darnedest to fit in and I couldn't and I still can't fit in...lololol

Peace :)
My husband is from the Netherlands, he hated school with a passion! We will talk again I am sure of it, take care...
then your husband and I agree big time :)
Deal :)
@reddust Your words are true, but in a narrow field. Most of the artists and creators in the world have not relied on school much. thank you
Smart reply @ted-talk!
