Education Diagnosed in 10 Minutes

Posted on | January 8, 2011 | Comments Off on Education Diagnosed in 10 Minutes

Sir Ken Robinson’s remarkable way of summarizing the world is making its way around the Internet.  At last count, nearly 2.5 million hits.  See this from TED. The problem in the current system, he notes, is that the people are trying fix the future by replicating the lessons from the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution.  He takes a swipe at age-group batch processing, ADHD, standardized testing and teaching.  “I believe we have to go in the exact opposite direction.”  Enjoy.
