Insightful Quotations
From Sir Ken Robinson, recognized speaker and writer on creativity and education, from his talk given at TED.
Truthfully what happens is, as children grow up, we start to educate them progressively from the waist up, and then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side.
If you were to visit education as an alien and say ‘What’s it for?’, public education, I think you’d have to conclude, if you look at the output, you know, who really succeeds by this, who does everything they should, who gets all the brownie points, you know, who are the winners? I think you’d have to conclude the whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors.
