Sir Ken Robinson’s “Changing Education Paradigms” matters to me, education, and the world because it talks about how the education system was set up and some of the flaws in it. It matters to me because it talked about who college degrees used to guaranteed you a job and now they don’t which is causing this generation of learners to not work hard to get a degree which to me is stupid because if you have put so much time into getting into high school why would you not want to go to college and get a better life. It matters to education because it talks about some major flaws in it like how it was set up in a different age and people are educated in batches by age and some people are smarter than other at the same age, but how would we do it differently? You can’t start them earlier because when kids start out their for the most part at the same learning level, so how do we not educate by age? It matters to the world because it talks about us being educated for the economy when we can’t predict what it will be like at the end of the week, which is interesting because it true. How do we educate kids for jobs that don’t exist right now? This video taught me a lot about how education is different now than in the past.
