Sirken Robinson's Reflection On Creativity And Education

1027 Words5 Pages

My opinion of the video about Sirken Robinson, and his discussion about creativity and education was very relatable to me. I enjoyed the video, and I had thought it was quite inspiring to me. The most thing that was relatable to me was when Robinson was talking about the little girl was that was told she had, had a learning disorder because she was fidgeting and was not able to concentrate or being able to stay still, which was called “ADHD,” but in that case was not known in the 1930’s. The reason it was relatable to me is because when I was younger, all I did was move. I loved dancing. The way I was able to groove with the beat and the rhythm, just made things a lot more easier. I was not able to stay still sitting in a chair, when music would be playing in the classroom, I always had to move because the music was flowing nicely to whereas it make me focus on learning a lot more. I agree that learning is not just based on the upper part of your body and brain but it also based on creativity and creativity for learning in all sorts of way such as dancing.

Sirken Robinson had mentioned that human creativity has put us in a place in where we have no idea of what is going to happen, and I certainly agree on that statement. Everyone has an interesting education, whether they know it or not and I agree because not everyone learns the same way. I believe that each person has their own creativity of learning and being focused on whether it is being able to learn with music,

When I was that age I wanted to be treated like an adult, and yet, I did not know how to act like one. In the presenter’s class, it sounds like the students are not just taught science—but taught life lessons.

  • Discrimination In Ms. Elliot's Assassination

    Not many people took into consideration what discrimination could do to people. I love the fact that she went out of her way to teach her students that discriminating actually hurt, and not just being a victim of it, but also being the one doing it. It could turn a sweet soul into a deviant one. It was also shocking how the students really did not know their attitudes changed until after they stepped back and observed. I believe that this experiment/ lesson should be taught more often, because there is still discrimination going on till this day.

" Then she stated,"Blue-eyed people are smarter than brown-eyed people.
