Talk Review


The topic of Robinson's conference is the school and the creativity of children. For him, the school spends(consumes) the creativity of children, Kel Robinson believes that this is really bad, because the creativity is very important to generate new knowledge.

For Kel, in the school the teachers teach us not to commit mistakes, in the school the mistake is punished and this punishes to the creativity too. The problem is not in the schools, is in the educational system and in the same society, the mistake is punished.

On the other hand, Robinson says that in educational systems there are hierarchies in the subjects. In the first places e can see the scientific subjects and in the second place the artistic subjects. Inside the artistic subjects also they can find hierarchies. Therefore, the educational system must promote the capacities of the students, because from children always they teach us everything.

Today the aim of public system of education is to create academicians. This aim shows us that the body is a way to learn somethins and not the origin of the knowledge. Finally Kel Ronbinson says that it's necessary to take care of human ecology because it's the wealth of human capacities.

  1. Pablo,
    So, don’t be afraid of making mistakes in you classes, rather, you should be afraid of doing nothing for the sake of never being wrong.

    I’ve corrected your post and included some suggestions for you to consider.
