Sir Ken Robinson

After watching Sir Ken Robinson do a TED talk, I noticed that he always had the crowd's attention. This was not only because the topic he was talking about is interesting, but because he made them laugh. The jokes he told went along with his topic so that people could understand it better. Instead of making the crowd confused with big words, he used examples to make it easier. I completely agree that teachers don't know what they are educating kids for especially in the science department because everyday something new is discovered. It's kind of scary to think about the amount of schooling someone has to go through just to major in their "dream" and once they graduate, they might not even have a job. People who are hiring aren't just looking for the person with the best grades, they are looking for someone with multiple appealing characteristics. Right now, all teachers can do is try to prepare students for the future, even thought it might not be what the kids need.
