Creativity on education




About creativity on education, in this speak Ken Robinson say a lot of things that are crudely truth, some of this things he says them like a joke because are so crude if you say it in other way that can hurt the feelings of someone.
On of the things that he says, for example is that everyone is interested on education, and thats true!!! and in the case of Chile everyone believes that is an expert on education! they can say, and they do, a lot of things that they think can help education to improve. But when you said that you work in education they're not going to tell you anything or by the contrary it can be worse, they can tel you a lot of techniques to be a better teacher, but they haven't study anything related with education!!!
Well, returning to the creativity of children on school, it's true that they have some classes of Art, but that's not enough there are kids that can be artist and as MR Ken Robinson say about something that Piccaso says "all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up" ans that's completely true! in our schools we don't have other classes like dancing, acting or other kind of artistic classes that they should have.
Another problem that is happening nowadays is related to mistakes, all children aren't afraid of do mistakes, and we adults are more than that we are scared of make a mistake in whatever we do in our lives, in the work, in our relationships, with our children, and even with our friends. And because of that we made all the schools sensibles to the mistakes that a student can do, with this now they are scared of make some mistake, even if you learn with this!! if a student don't understand a subject they don't ask to the teacher for another explanation, they just don't say anything and they don't learn good or don't learn at all the subject.

At the end if we aren't prepare to make mistakes and to correct them we aren't ready to change anything to help the future generations, and we aren't going to help them to be better persons.
