Education Reduces Brilliance?

November 30, 2010 · 16 comments

We’re born with the four Personal Brilliance catalysts – Awareness, Curiosity, Focus, and Initiative in full strength. However, the ‘stand in line’, ‘don’t chew gum’, ‘only speak when spoken to’ rules we encounter as children tend to tarnish these natural catalysts.

A presentation by Sir Ken Robinson on education ties in with our contention here that we can do some things in our education system to allow natural personal brilliance to shine through.

This presentation was recreated with a very interesting animation by RSA Animate. Check it out below.
