Monday Matters #19

        Talents distinguish us from others and make us special. The talents we have define who we are as people. However, do schools ignore and hide our talents? Sir Ken Robinson believes so. In his interview  he states that schools ignore peoples different talents. Schools have are narrow and don't let students display all of their talents as they should. The second point that he states is that we need a revolution in education and this is going to happen with a generalization shift that will happen. "Put your imagination to work." We need to collaborate and think to be innovated. The third point he states is how the schedule of school demoralizes us because we sit in a  room for a certain amount of time until bell rings, then we move to a different room and its a continuous pattern. The students of today don't believe the idea of working hard and going to college to get a job for effort like the previous generation did. The last point he went over was test's. sir Ken Robinson isn't against test but says the problem comes when testing becomes the purpose of it all. Almost as if we revolve around them and obsess over them. Schools hold students back from showing who they really are. We need to reform education so that this problem discontinues.
