Wow. This is an amazing TED talk. Funny, inspiring, and persuasive. Sir Ken outlines what he sees as a fundamental flaw into our world's education system in what is no contest, the laugh out loud funniest TED talk to date.
Enjoy.
Here's a great quote:
"I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology. One which starts to reconstitute our conception of the richness of human capacity.
Our education system has mined our minds in the way that we strip mine the earth, for a particular commodity. And for the future it won't serve us.
We have to rethink the the fundamental principles on which we're educating our children.
We may not see this future, but they will, and our job is to help them make something of it."
Marvelous.
