Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Ken Robinson

"Governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students. And if you remove their discretion, it stops working."— Ken Robinson

I just wanted to share a few videos with you guys. I'm sure some of you will be aware of who Ken Robinson is, but for those of you who don't, he's an extremely reputable education campaigner who works to change the education system for the benefit of people's well-being as well as their pedagogic performance. These videos are long, but they're worth it - Ken Robinson is funny as well as extremely intelligent.

You're very welcome to discuss your opinions about this video below. Personally, this video makes me wonder why Robinson isn't Secretary of Education (or indeed our Prime Minister). He is such an inspiring man.

Thanks for watching!
