虽然这个TED演讲犀利得有些夸张，但是，它是一场会让听众情不自禁地鼓掌的演讲。教育究竟应该培养什么人？如何对待学生犯错？听了他的演讲，真的让我们对教育感到悲哀，更要命的是无助。下面是CAE班一些孩子对此的分享。

1.      For an extravagant boy who once dreamed to become the minister of education, this tremendously sharp ted talk made me feel like becoming a comedian instead of an educationist. Sir Ken Robinson from Shakespeare’s hometown captures the creativity-alienating part of education through his sharp and unique humour. Education is a subject that can possibly create the future – this is a reason of why I respect the teachers. But the modern education systems throughout the planet have problems of this and that. In Sir Robinson’s ted talk, he mentioned one about the murder of creativity. Many students have this concept – being wrong is the worst thing we can do. Sir Robinson points out that being wrong may not be being creative, but “if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original” – this is the most useful information I’ve gained from the video. Anyway, sharp ideas are sharp ideas, and they can’t always avoid being idealistic. I think that this talk should have given more detailed solutions to the problem mentioned in it. And also, too much humour in it makes it more likely to be an impressive extravaganza – some xzhumour is incomprehensible to me, at least.

2.      This talk is really humorous. The speaker talked about education and creativities. He thinks every child is a born artist. Education killed their creativities. People today need children’s creativities to make our life better. He used many jokes to explain his idea. I think he is a really clever man who can give these kinds of talks and let the audiences laugh. I don’t especially like this topic but I like this talk very much. I learned that I cannot just focus on my study. I need to learn something else.

3.      Today, I watched a TED talk called School Kills Creativity. This talk really astonished me. Creativity is really an important part in our life, because we need creativity to develop new things so as to make a better life. But, actually school is producing a range of people with the same mind. And the speaker said something which I would never forget, it’s mainly about: if you don’t dare risks, you would never get success. I think I can’t agree more. We mustn’t be afraid of changing, we need to be active all the time, to find the ‘cheese’ in our life.

4.      In our opinion, schools are established in order to investigate and enhance our innate talent and creativity. But in his talk, Sir Ken Robinson’s opinion, in huge contrast to ours, precisely pointed out that schools are annihilating our talent and relativity. And furthermore, the current education system is becoming a menace of the development of the society, from his point of view. His point even seems a bit odd, or even extreme. The aim of education is to educate people who can adapt to the society, which means that schools will only teach subjects which are useful for future career, for instance, mathematic and language. We've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. But the current circumstance is that students’ creativity is being eroding and the degrees of traditional subjects (such as these subjects mentioned above) are not that valuable as before. The reason is that the society requires workforces of the new age—— highly creative, curious developers, engineers, designers and artists. But the fact is that students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message of talent crisis. His opinion is that school should support every single child to develop their most prominent talent.  I am having a positive attitude towards his idea, but his idea seems impractical in underdeveloped and developing societies. It is rather regardless of the economic situation the student is in. Some societies have no ability to provide financial support towards educational reinvention. The potential of his idea must be reconsidered, while we still need to work hard on providing a creativity-encouraging and enterprising society structure and culture.
