This is a must watch video for all future generations, I couldn't have wished for greater champion to start this new blog. For Ken Robinson eloquently puts into words the thoughts that I have had for many years. He wants us to stop squandering our children's skills and nurture them for the good of humanity. Just listen:
So should we allow our children to start making mistakes and grow our children into creativity? I was fortunate in that I home schooled my youngest daughter, so she didn't have the prescriptive education that I believe is so lacking in the UK. Is she different, yes; and definitely for the better.
Let's start an art revolution and let art become more valued and to those children who cannot express themselves with words the opportunity to communicate with a pencil, painting brush or musical instrument. Let us find time to allow the children to practice everyday.We might achieve a better life for our children, and we may even see some better artists.
