Sir Ken Robinson Strikes Again

I had always considered the education reform to be changing a system that is broken (the current education system), and making changes to that system.  For this reason I have never wanted to be part of the education reform since trying to fix a broken system is often a black hole for resources.  Thus, I've always favored an evolution of education.  I've seen the evolution of education as creating a system that shares very little with its previous ancestor, and changing into something much more pointed and powerful.  However, Sir Ken in this talk says that we need a revolution, and explains it in such a way that makes me think that even an evolution has a faulty foundation, and we need a clean break.  A revolution suggests doing away with the entire system that is in place, and starting anew.  And I tend to agree.  Maybe we need to change the tagline of this blog...  This talk is much less dense idea-wise from his other famous talk, but still interesting nonetheless.  Please to enjoy!
