I had the opportunity to teach several high school government classes last month, and Robinson's speech has put words to some of the feelings and observations I had leaving that experience. Thanks Phil. I hope you don't mind me linking this on my blog as well.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487041714633762813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13415309.post-32869817118305641452009-01-13T21:08:00.000-08:002009-01-13T21:08:00.000-08:00thanks for sharing. i enjoyed this immensely. i do...thanks for sharing. i enjoyed this immensely. i don't have any brilliant ideas but agree that our focus is too narrow in the educational system. and this is coming from a science nerd! ;0) i hope little by little we can make change for the better. at the very least children should not be told they are dumb just because they don't ace school. maybe that's where the change can start, with discussion and more awareness of different shades of smarts.joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236761561616972969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13415309.post-20318117054096691752009-01-12T08:26:00.000-08:002009-01-12T08:26:00.000-08:00no particularly brilliant ideas, but for starters,...no particularly brilliant ideas, but for starters, i think this awareness impacts how we define "success" for our children and how we engage them around the way the educational system defines success. in a way, it gives parents more responsibility to foster and keep creativity alive in our kids and applaud and encourage other forms of intelligence that may not be noticed or developed at school. i know people who were told they were dumb as kids in school and so their parents treated them like that too... because teachers are educational experts. <BR/>yeah, i agree strongly that the educational system in it's entirety- at every stage in the process from kindergarden to doctoral levels- need to be rethought. <BR/>brilliant ideas welcomed.elnellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797708866823750436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13415309.post-55722748083647903242009-01-11T21:39:00.000-08:002009-01-11T21:39:00.000-08:00ok, so now what? any brilliant ideas? shall we sta...ok, so now what? any brilliant ideas? shall we start our own school?crishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128244505505563360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13415309.post-50873664250622188862009-01-11T12:07:00.000-08:002009-01-11T12:07:00.000-08:00listened to this talk a few months ago. it's great...listened to this talk a few months ago. it's great. thanks for the reminder to watch again.john chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06711015393651955674noreply@blogger.com
