Ted Talk Reflection
Sir Ken Robinson
makes a point in his TED Talk in which he says something along the
lines of education not being linear, but organic. He goes on to
explain how education should be customized to those who are being
taught. I enjoyed his idea of this because he is right in the fact
that the way people used to learn is certainly not the way we learn
now and his idea of a revolution, and not evolution, occurring in the
educational system is utterly correct. There does need to drastic
change in which people are students are being taught and motivated.
He speaks about not everyone not needing to go to college right away,
which I agree with because sometimes people need a break and a chance
to experience something that stimulates their soul. Some people need
time to find their passion, to discover exactly what it is they want
to work towards to.
Robinson brings up
the example of the man who had always wanted to be a firefighter, and
did so despite being told it was a waste of time. I believe that is
the perfect example of passion; of finding what inexplicably makes
you happy and just doing it. This is the hope I wish to give students
such as myself, who may or may not know what their passion is. But
once that passion has been discovered, I believe it is vitally
important for it to be pursued, despite what others may think.
