Hello readers!

For this task, we saw a video called "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" that is a conference by Ken Robinson, he is a teacher and a writer, he talks about creativity and education –a topic really controversial in this moment-. The main topic is that he says that the education in this moment is really focus in some things like math or languages, and that are importants, but the education destroys the creative capacities of children because she don’t give the same importance to arts, like dance or theater.

I haven’t known this guy, I saw the video and I think it’s amazing, I haven’t thought this topic deeply, but if you think about it, you will realize that we are really immersed in our economical system so education is focused on that system, so we are doing professionals to the system and we don’t give the space for other things that should has the same status. 

One of the phrases of Robinson was really interesting to me and I’m really agreed with this topic “If you are not prepared to be wrong, you can’t be prepare to be original”. I think that this one of the more essential things of the conference, because he is right, when we grow up, we make the things try to do everything well and we try to impress the people and be the best, but this is not the important in the society –or at least, I think so-. We are in a really fundamental in education and maybe we could related the actual moment in Chile with the conference, because both are conditioned with the economical system, and we have to do something to change the approach with we see the education, maybe we have to change some of our mentality to start to value all the things, and not only those that are polite.
