In that video Ken Robinson criticize the current education system in the
world. By emphasizing the main issues about how kids should be educated
to make them more creative and intelligence person, he claims the education
system has to be prepared for the view of intelligence to have a chance to be
wrong as students are learning. Moreover it should consist of the art subjects
except from basic disciplines such as mathematics, science in order to improve
the creative capacities of the students. I entirely agree with him. Our current
education system is based on the main academic subjects and does not offer any
opportunity to become an author, a painter, a dancer...etc. In other words, the
students are being educated out of their creative capacities.
I have a story related with this. When I was primary
school, I was interesting in folk dancing. After we were trained for one
year in school, my folklore group attained a competition. We were the third as
degree. It was great experience for me. However I couldn't last this talent
because of the education system as it requires to study the main subjects for
preparing the exams.
I want to reflect the significance of this issue by making
reference another experience of mine. As Mr.Robinson said that ''By the time
children get to be adults most kids have lost their creative capacity.'' When I
was high school, we had a language lab to be able to learn English effectively.
It was very useful for this aim with our English teacher. We learned writing,
reading and even speaking in English. Unfortunately like the previous
experience of mine we had to quit this training because of the education system
again.
To be honest, I don't feel that I am now able to be
creative as I was in high school. As I am getting older, it becomes a bit
harder to learn new things especially to be required having creative capacity.
