Did you ever come across a video that seemed to get it? A video the grabs your undivided attention for an entire ten minutes and makes you want to learn more? That is exactly what happened to us when we discovered this video narrated by Sir Ken Robinson and created by RSAnimate titled “Changing Education Paradigms.” The video examines the current state of public education, how it was developed and why the system does not fit current cultural and economic shifts. Sir Ken Robinson sites the “Modern Epidemic” of ADHD and narrates a breathtaking visual story of public education and what he envisions as the future. He believes public education is similar to a factory style environment, where we are taught that going to school and getting good grades will lead you to a well-paid job. His presentation is eye-catching and worth every moment of your time. We highly encourage you to take a moment and watch this video. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
