Answers to Ted Ed Question
For this project our class watched this video, and then we did some work revolving around it. This video is about a man, Ken Robinson, whom believes that schools are killing creativity. Our class discussed the different ways schools kill creativity; for example, schools are too focused on core subjects that art, music, and subjects like that get pushed to the side as if they are not important. I then answered some questions to the Ted talk which can be found on the left in a document if you push the button below it. I am a firm believer that all subjects matter, especially if a child is expressing who they really are and what they will excel in at life.
