The factory model of schooling
March 20, 2013
In this video by Sir Ken Robinson, one of his arguments is that schools are built and run on a factory model. He infers that, instead of freeing the creativity of students, we sometimes even medicate them just so that they will cope with this form of schooling. Why, he asks, do we teach students in “batches” based purely upon their age?
This is good. I hope I'm not overdoing the reblogging.
Not sure I’d agree seems to be setting up something of a straw man of Ken Robinson’s point. I’d also suggest that some of the implied ‘impossibilities’ are actually impossible.
