Sir Ken Robinson inspires others to utilize creative thinking for fleshing out problems. Some of his words were truly inspiring, while others are quite baffling if you delve deeper into the possible ramifications of his ideologies. I am in complete agreement with his insistence that the education system does not need reform, it needs a revolution. He is correct. We need to honor craftsman and professionals in a myriad of jobs and develop programs which allow students to explore their interests and feel successful in careers which may not include a college-bound post-secondary portfolio. There is a point which I most definitely do not agree with Sir Robinson. He made the following statement in his 2010 Ted Talk, “We must disenthrall ourselves from things we take for granted as the natural order.” Actually, this action would pull us apart from the beauty of individual cultures and the fabric of society. I believe, it is our right as humans to take some things for granted as the natural order: wearing watches, honoring teachers, and home-made chicken pot pie are among them. These examples may be trivial, but if we disenthrall ourselves from that which we take for granted, aren’t we disengaging ourselves from the past? Moving beyond that statement, learned much from his aphorism, “Human communities depend upon a diversity of talent, not a singular conception of ability. And at the heart of our challenge is to reconstitute our sense of ability and of intelligence.”  This especially strikes a chord with me, because I see many students who are talented artists, creative musicians, and empathetic listeners yet they are made to feel less valued in society because their strengths do not lie in book learning. We do need a revolution in the education system, and it begins with appreciating the differences our students bring to the world and helping them build on those strengths.
