A Vision of Students Today
Todays children are bewildered when they enter a 19th century environment that still
characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and
structured by fragmented, classified patterns, subjects and schedules.

Take The Red Pill
Do you believe in fate?
Or do you believe that you have some control over your destiny?
You know something...what it is you can't explain but you've known it
all your life.
The blue pill offers peace of mind...you can believe what you want.
The "red pill" offers the truth.
Can you handle the truth?

Do schools kill creativity?
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.
"We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says.
...we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences.
In this video he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. With ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people
