Link to Video- Sir Ken Robinson TEDx Talk This week, while I was trying to decide what to write my blog about, I went to the TEDx website. I was curious to see what the most popular video was about, and it turns out that the most-watched TEDx video is about education. The talk is given by Sir Ken Robinson and is titled “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” I was shocked to see that the most watched video was about education if I’m being honest because these days it seems like many Americans don’t care about our education system. I say that because of all the news we’ve heard over the past few years about wealthy and famous people bribing their children into Ivy League schools, and those schools covering them up. Schools are not helping youth gain a proper education by allowing bribes! On top of that, the hypocrisy of a school allowing youth to bribe their way in while that same school will punish its students for being creative is alarming, to say the least. I believe that everyone should have access to a good education, so it is not ethical when students cheat and bribe their way into a school that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend.
