Riz Khan - Schools killing creativity? - 10 Sep 08 - Part 1

Uploaded by: AlJazeeraEnglish
Video Description:
Education is a terrible way to find out what you're good at. Sound strange, right?
But think about this; how many of you are currently working in the subject you liked most in school. Not the one you excelled in, the one you liked.
In our very streamlined public education system, children around the world are taught the maths and sciences, but how many of them are taught art, painting or dance with the same vigour?
In our very streamlined public education system, children around the world are taught the maths and sciences, but how many of them are taught art, painting or dance with the same vigour?
Riz speaks with world renowned creativity and education expert Ken Robinson who strongly believes the current state of education may begin holistically but progressively focuses "on the head, and then just to one side."

exactly my point. ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

exactly my point. all of these fruity dancers are just programmed to attack anything that doesnt say something like "dance needs to be thought in math class, english class, and homeroom, and spanish class"
they dont have a grasp on how important education is.
i dont know why its a trend to try and make our schools as 3rd world as possible.
first they want to teach religion like its science and then they want to teach dance like it makes mathematics and scientific geniuses

well my point is ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

well my point is that your not gonna be a creative scientist if your a creative dancer, if you want to be a creative scientist you need to practice science, if you can do both then more power to you.

You kind of ... ( 1 month ago by Merjey)

You kind of contradicted yourself by the end there. Science and dance are not mutually exclusive as creative talents. They may not cross borders, but people can be creative at many things.
Arts and science are both very important to culture.

"Arts and science ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

"Arts and science are both very important to culture."
where did i say anything disagreeing with that?
and where did i say that people cant be creative outside of science and dance?
im not trying to fight whith you but i don't think you got what i was saying

Well, I must say, i ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

Well, I must say, i don't agree on ur ideals here but i agree with your opinion. Sure, scientists bring more in that sense to the world, but imagine a world without dance, or music, or theatre, it would be boring as hell! The point here with these speeches is to bring the arts into as high a standard as the other subjects, making them equal, not making science and shit lower then they.

yes yes indeed i ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

yes yes indeed i undastand now, sorry for being the way i was but u do kind of contradict yourself and put the arts down occasionally when u say things like that. obviuosly u prolly read my other reply, if not, do so now. I do agree sciences and such are important but marking the arts as unimportant? Egh! They are both euqally important in our society. The point is socity seems to put down the arts in skool, sir ken robinson is right, we as a nation are educatingus outof ourcreativity andscience

and you know, you ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

and you know, you are doing as u say we dncrs are, u jus called us fruity dancers, is that any different then me calling you a stupid scientist? U r putting us down in wat u say, not vice verse

i apologize. ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

i apologize. dancing is very manly

I ain't talkin ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

I ain't talkin about ballet and shit man, I'm talking about expression of self through any type of dance. I can sit here and call science girly if u want me too. I'm pointing out A) Ur being a moronic hipocrite at this point and B) Dancing is as important as sciences and such. If u base what's important off what is what u consider manly, then you need to get ur priorities straight esse. That makes no sense what so eva to do that shit. Dancin' can be manly man, it's all about expression asshole.

yea you can call ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

yea you can call science girly but whats girly about exploring outer space? and claiming the moon?

Ok first you can't ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

Ok first you can't claim the moon, it's their, no one owns it, no one is going to dumbass. Second, what's so manly about it? I don't see any testostorone-junkies up in space. Or walkin along the moon. Now, let's look at dance. Krump, fo instance. Almost every krumper or b-boy you'll ever meet is all buffed out and how did u put it?manly' lookin'. Or take i beyond dance into the other arts, like music. Rock=man. Now, whats manly bout watchin crystals or writin math or lookin through a microscope?

you have no clue ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

you have no clue how valuable the moon is, plus thats like saying claiming parts of earth are dumb.
yea your right exploring the unknown is not manly at all.
i dont care what manly looking guys do it or what rapper says its cool like you do. its pussier than soccer, soccer has manly looking guys but that doesnt make it manly.
science if football dancing is soccer
go to San Fransisco look at all the buffed out guys, theres lots of them and they love to dance and they are gay too.

I almost can't ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

I almost can't beleive someone as idiotic as u romes this earth. With ur holy than thou attitude man, you'll neva get anywhere. So, soccer isn't manly? So spending your whole life everyday training and conditioning your body and working out isn't manly? Playing for a whole country out of pride for said country isn't manly is what ur tellin me? But, of course, sittin in a lab all day is manly. And so is sittin in a space shuttle. Then again, i do consider astronauts brave men, but scientists?

Not only that, but ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

Not only that, but hmm, lets see...so ur sayin' dancers who push themselves past they're physical limits jus to get a little better aren't manly? Doin wateva u can to reach ur goals isn't manly? That's what ur tellin me? U r bein a total fuckin hipocrite! Listen to urself! Ur comparing opposite ends of s spectrum against eachotha and that's unfair. So, come back with an inteligent response instead of basin your whole opinion on manlyness and come back to me.

dancers are as ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

dancers are as manly as tennis players who push themselves past their physical limits.
ballet dancers push themselves past physical limits too.
keep doin what you do it doesnt matter to me i dont care, im not gona view dancing as something more than dancing, it doesnt matter how gangsta the music they dance to is or how urban they dress, in short "you can put lipstick on a pig but it will still be a pig" -barack Obama

I can't beleive u r ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

I can't beleive u r this much of an asshole and a hipocrite. U cannot go thru life basing ur opinions of shit on manlyness becuz manliness doesn't exist! It's a fuckin word used to describe wateva u want. I mean, we all know ur mom's manly and all, no one's arguin (j/p fam, had to throw in a punch line) but seriuosly, that's like callin someone bad at somethin, its perspective homie. Now don't even go there wit dat ghetto shit cuz half these assholes dunno what it's like anyway. oops gotta post

anyway u can't base ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

anyway u can't base how important sumthin is on manliness or wateva is what I'm tryin to say. Goin back to what i said earlier, what is more important in LIFE? Arts or Sciences/Math and stuff? niether. With sciences and such and no art we become boring peoples tryin to answer everything in the world, even the unanswerable. Wih just the arts we would become a fun peoples, yet stupid and moronic (not unlike urself). With both, we become a rich peoples, both inteligent and creativity wise.

yea im stupid whos ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

yea im stupid whos the one who started this cool internet fight?
you started sassing me like a sassy little dancer, hahahahaha

Yeah, ok. Let's see ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

Yeah, ok. Let's see...who came onto a youtube vdeo jus to post a dick comment? U culd have not watched it esse. Or, maybe yu could have used half ur brain and not commented! Ur the one who was lookin for a fight. Anyone who goes onto a video jus like this in order to disagree it or say somethin u know is gonna agravate people is lookin to start shit. I brought da shit so now u pin it on me. I guess u jus don't like to be proven wrong

i was having a ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

i was having a convo with somesone else and more important to me than you
thats when a little sassy dancer came and sassed me like a super sailer.
this convo is over im not reading anything else from you because i can see we are just gonna go in circles
i wasnt proven wrong either but if it helps you think you won i dont mind more power to the danthers go and danth your krumping heart out to tough music so it doesnt look like your gay

And so ends the ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

And so ends the saga of the bad talking asshole who has only managed to embarras himself through getting pissed at a person online, not their ideas,a person. He must have some heart broken e-feelings guys. Let's give him a thumbs up as a charity prize. *thumbs up*

you explained ... ( 1 month ago by ragnar336)

you explained yourself... then pinned it on me.
i was told people like you would never except who your are but understand much it must feel to make someone feel like it... hmmm any red flags yet?

hmm? wtf? except ... ( 1 month ago by KaiIllDNCR)

hmm? wtf? except who your are but understand much it must feel to make someone feel like it? does that even make sense man? And what happened to i'm not readin' anymore of my comments?

Why don't you both ... ( 1 week ago by PoeticJustice05)

Why don't you both go back to school and learn to spell? If schools kill creativity, then the internet is killing grammar.
