Sir Ken Robinson on factory schools
A stimulating, 11:40-minute animated talk by Ken Robinson.
I have a few qualms about some of Robinson’s intellectual-history-of-education claims, but his portrait of mainstream contemporary education (especially the repulsive cop-out that is the ADHD “epidemic”) and his prescriptions for reform are bang-on accurate.
[Which reminds me of my extended series on the philosophy and history of education.]
