Jane, I totally agree but that wake up call has to come from the individual. I've worked hard over the years in a job I hate and saved as much as I can to actively start the writing career I've always wanted to have. In October I begin that new journey. This system we live in won't support us so I've had to find a way to support myself. It's really really hard to do that but I figured that if by my example I can change the mindset of just one other person in the world to believe in their artistic skill then maybe, just maybe a slow movement of courage might help change the system in time. Probably a pipe dream - but i think it's worth a shot.

The megority of people was always the working class, that was the only way some people have the time do be the drives of sociaty. That is a reality recorted since rome, bread and games, give the workers do eat and entertain them. That is the only truth of every sociaty, and if you are not know it you are stupid.
I was very sad to hear of his death, his attitude to education really helped me come to terms with being autistic and ADHD. His story about Gillian Lynn who was disruptive at school, and it was treated as a problem until a child psychologist told her parents that wasn't just being disruptive, she just had to move - she was a dancer, send her to dance school - and she went on to choreograph the likes of Cats. Her story really comforted me at a time when I was spiralling because it was obvious I wasn't wired for traditional education. I grew up wanting to be a doctor or a teacher, but when I became a teacher it was entirely unfulfilling, it wasn't me. Ken gave me permission to keep looking for something meaningful. RIP to a very cool dude.

Wow this is more real now with the pandemic control
Music is so powerful!!! Art for the heart!
Every human individual, regardless of age, need to learn to play again.
When I was studying to become a qualified music teacher, I referenced Ken Robinson so much in my dissertation because he genuinely cared and understood the importance of creativity in the academic world, which I found out was a rareity and always looked over. Sad to hear he's passed but his impact lives on - RIP
You can try to kill creativity but it’s a universal principal in everything and you yourself are an object of creation. No worries, enjoy the show.
Sir Ken Robinson - a much-needed voice in today's world for tomorrow's future. I was absolutely shocked to see that he had died at the end of this video. He had a profound impact on my life and perspective on education as I was experiencing it during high school. May he rest in peace.

He directly influenced how my two boys were raised. They turned out great.
everyone and everything is frequencies and vibrations.. so absolutely music and dance and art are extremely important
One of the other issues is specialization. New ideas come from a awareness of many things, and ideas. Many highly specialized people lack awareness of the big picture. The true gift of my creative direction is not only the history of photography, but the physics of light, an awareness of art, it's history, also the psychology of art, and it's core understanding of communications. It might good in a high tech world to create a renesance degree. Where big picture awareness leads to better kinds of creativity. Kind like three PhDs in very different different but related fields. The world is much more evolved than the days of da Vinci and the enlightenment so it takes more study and information to come up with great new ideas and concepts. On the good side the internet makes it easier now than in the past. Onward. Nice educational video.

Thank You.
It’s hard being awake in a world that is asleep. But, going within through these videos makes me feel better. Thank you
I've never heard of Ken Robinson before but what he says summarises what I have thought for some years now. Thank you.
One of the best educators of our times.May we keep propagating his ideas forward.😊
Yes love each other and show kindness to all and keep Faith in Gods Plan and Grace will follow with your dreams in all your daily lessons.... I am awake I am Love I am a child of God and he knows my mind and giggling at my heart of kindness. Just help and extend more to children more than ever now!!! Children need to be loved and cared for with God's Love they know the light of God's Love, they just need us to help them. God i miss my grown children and pray for your Love to shine their path and all children.... Share kindness please and thank you
This is what the powers that be are taking away from us - we must create artistically, musically and physically- peace be upon all of you- don’t stop creating- sketch , paint & read from a book!
I hated schooling in the Secondary level. In my free time I would disappear into a music room and just play an instrument. WE had a Steiner school next door which was ridiculed but in hind sight, it would have been a better way. I spent 1 year in Uni doing Economics and Law and I fought a lot with my tutors and lecturers. I dropped out and then went on to do music under graduate and post graduate. Wish I had done it earlier. As for learning - it never stops. As does creativity.
Beautiful and much needed. Bless you.
Louder than any voice, even when completely silent. Brighter than all or any light, and as deep as the darkness. Creator of any and is or none, designer of abilities and there is but only one. Questioning this existence in which we may never know, taking in all it's soroundings but shows no sign of any growth. Faster than the light standing totally still, but always moving forward without ever leaving here. Completely finished and yet to have begun, I am the Imagination inside each and everyone.

Profound. I'm sure there is a lot more where that came from. Deep thoughts such as these are rare. Much respect.
When are we the people, going to change the system? The world has to come from the power of the individual, not from the "top" downwards. One thing Ken did not mention because it wasn't the focus of this piece, was that we need a system that actively encourages and FINANCIALLY supports all artists, throughout their lives - not as a token gesture but as a true commitment by society to self expression and the validation of the artist's journey. It is time for artists to be TRULY valued.
❤️Thank you so much 💛
This is Profound and Factual!
Best page on KZread.
What a perfect video👌. The Education System desperately requires fixing.
One of the most sensible talks I’ve heard in a long time.
Living a life of creativity feels so good.
right on the money, get people talking about these very ideas
Remember when I first discovered Ken Robinson's TED Talks a few years ago... the chap is simply quite brilliant!
I went to art college. It was utterly disappointing which led to me quitting being creative for nearly 30 years. I have 2 daughters who are both creative. I got so sick of the school they attended saying art and creativity is not really on the curriculum. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I started an art club and now paint, draw and create on a weekly basis and my daughter's and their friends love it. The education system is failing. Let's do sonething about it. I'll volunteer for free.

We are music, as is anything else. Imagination is creator of, everything and anything that is or is not.

I so believe that. Everything is a musical note before it is anything else and we are a part of the Universal Symphony except that we have been made to believe that we are off-key and we need to work on ourselves in order to fit in. Imagination is what allows us to play with that note except that that gets squashed too.
Perfect timing! We just had a conversation with our son about this very notion!
There is always that pull and struggle between creativity and the need to earn a wage. As an engineer by degree but an artist at heart, it's always tough to compensate against all the time distractions in our lives. I'm fortunate to say that my elementary education had balance....I had access to sampling the arts, the sciences, the humanities, the languages, the histories, the mathematics, etc. It was my college education that I found so disappointing and dismal...the wonder of learning was removed. Consider that innovator and polymath named Leonarda da Vinci...he intertwined all the subjects and recognized the importance of their interconnectedness.
Brilliant video.
What beautiful ideas!
It could be argued that the cane was part of the curriculum when I was at school. I never understood the logic of beating kids in order to teach them to show respect. I am on a disability pension because my mind was broken in the process of "education" but I'm sitting here whittling a figure of Sun Wukong while I watch videos.

This is perfect
Music is from the heart that beats the eternal song. Art is dancing to that song from the moment you feel it, to the moment a new dancer takes the stage. Imagination hums the tune we sing from. Creativity is just the imagination singing its song. Death is the turning of the page to set the notes for a new frequency the song will be sung in. Some songs are short, some too long, some brings joy, others sadness, some make great lessons, others great passions, some songs are shared throughout countless stages, others forgotten in the endless pages of singers, some songs are never heard, some are felt for ages, some songs bring together, others uplift, then there are those songs that just sings so you can dance.
Great use of a youtube channel. Great editing
“YES”. I totally agree. Thank you for this, 🙏

I agree 💯%
Even mathematics is a creative pursuit.
If you create a environment which is holistic which is addressing your spritual development your physical development which recognize that human life is not linear its organic👍👍〽
Most sense I have heard about education. I hated school and left eatly. On the positive side it made me a free thinker. Schools now tell pupils what to think and not how to think for themselves.
Even Art schools and creative courses need a large overhaul when it comes to teaching or facilitating learning in creative practices as most are run like factories that churn out graduating students without actually teaching them anything about the discipline that they actually care about. Want to become a painter? then attend a 3-year degree program and learn to write essays about things you don't care about and get marked on your academic language and grammar as opposed to learning about how to stretch a canvas or how to market yourself online as a visual artist or even have the gallery system explained to you properly.
... I approve
Children are brought up to be good workers and consumers. If one strive to become a master, one has lost its way of living.
What do you truly desire?
No one in the universe can get everything, so what we see achievements they are all compensatory to Some part of life .
I hated school from 2nd year in high school onwards....1st year it was all new....then it wasnt and felt totally pointless.......I didnt like music class either in school....teachers have yo capture the pupils imagination...but most just treat it like a job they cant be bothered with
I did what i wanted from an early age on with my parents consent and my teachers hated me for being so independent.
I've said this since I was young in school. Now the current system is almost entirely eliminated critical thinking of our new generation

Check out Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talks.
So lots of great perspectives, however, curiosity was mentioned in passing only once. Why? It seems Curiosity is like the elephant in the room no one talks about! It is being truly curious that drives imagination, creativity, invention, the sense of possibilities. And yet curiosity underlay most of what is explored here but was not focused upon specifically. How curious! Wonder why….
Actually We are living and dying within the realm of what the world it should be.
This generation will never value art the way it should be valued

Vomit is no longer my initial reaction to him... he is getting up there with Brian Rose...who would do better with teeth in his face than that black hole.
Nobody told me why and I lost interest... Didn't read write do math and no smart phone sor years... Life sucked and still sucks but at least I found out who I am on the journey.. the system failed me and therefore failed it's self because if I had gotten answers before I gave up I'm sure I could have been successful, however I'm not really mad I just need a way to get back in the race... 🤞 If I didn't need a degree I would make a good guidance counselor
Education is a train of despair. To be peel your your trie intuition by being bought and sold in a universal attendence of boundaries. If you listen to everyone all your life tou litterally have not a real thought of your own tou are just adding on to anothers thoughts. Adjacent plagarism
We need the whole truth first and foremost 😡
Teaching dance in class should not be necessary. As stated, we are physical beings, dance is intrinsic within us. The problem lies in the way parents prepare their children for school, and life. They put too much pressure on the to be "good" children. I don't blame the parents for this, it is a perfectly valid intention. But who here can define "good". Is dancing good, when you should be concentrating on mathematics? What about the child that wants to do mathematics during dance class?

They are of equal measure. Sports induces the plasticity of the mind, Art teaches us to look at things differently, and music physically changes the sulci and gyri (grooves in the brain) allowing for more surface area for neurons. Einstein imagined what it would be like to ride on a moonbeam, as a result we got the theory of relativity. He also studied and played the violin. Without this abstract thought and power of imagination that was given to him by studying music. Einstein just wouldn't be Einstein, and the theory of relativity wouldn't exist. At least not by him.
Don’t realize or just don’t care. Some of us are simply serving our time on this garbage planet until our sentence is up.
