School shouldn't be a factory


Sir Ken Robinson talks about the larger structural problems with education. He believes that ADD isn't necessarily a real epidemic, but does see its correlation with the rise of standardized tests and the dismantling of alternative classes like art, drama, music and others that aren't "core" classes. He believes that we are drugging, boring and fragmenting our children in their education when we should be doing the opposite. Brilliant!
