One of our boy’s teachers encouraged them to watch the Ted talk by Sir Ken Robinson.

The video was particularly interesting to me as I was one of those people who found University incredibly boring. I found learning how to sell and how business works at my part time job much more interesting. The only flashes of interest for me were the occasional challenging project where it would capture my attention and I would throw myself into it. The rest? Repetition and memorization.

Our education system needs an overhaul. Only 9M people have seen this, hundreds of millions need to see it.

PS: On the education side, a great video on how to understand the UK here.  🙂
