Learning Revolution

     As Ken Robinson pointed out in the beginning of the video, "we make very poor use of our talents".  I agree with that statement because, we our limited in our abilities to express our talents in this school system.  Robinson explains that you cannot "reform" the system because it is already a "broken model".  A revolution in education should occur to help improve lives of future students.  One of the interesting parts of the talk was when Robinson brought up Abraham Lincoln's quote.  Lincoln partly says that "we must rise with the occasion."  I noted the word "with" instead of "to".  Everyone must do something in order for change to happen.  As the video goes on, Ken talks about how people must follow a linear plan in order to go on with their life.  I believe that a linear plan only restricts our creativity and things may get in our way as we try and follow that linear path.  Also the topic of conformity is another problem.  Robinson talks about how people are greatly conforming to fast food and how it destroys our physical bodies.  Passion is another key topic.  In my personal experience, if the subject bores me, I do not enjoy thinking about it or dealing with the subject.  I must have a strong passion for anything I do, or else I would not even bother doing it.  With that being said, the topic of revolutionizing education is very important because it will affect the world as a whole in the future.
