After watching Ken Robinson's TED Talk about education, express your thoughts on how his views do/do not relate to the concept of Genius Hour. What about Ken Robinson's views do you agree/disagree with?
As Ted said, modern day education is much to strict. Genius Hour allows us students to express our strong points and actually enjoy doing it. Genius Hour is actually something I enjoy doing while at school. It allows to me voice my opinion and thoughts in something other than math or science. I agree with everything Ted said. The dropout rate should not be as high as it is, there is no excuse for it. School should be enjoyable and about LEARNING. Kids dropout a lot of time just cause they do not enjoy it which can be easily changed. Also, I do not feel like I learn as much in school as I should. This is partly because I do not enjoy it. If I enjoyed it more, it would allow me to focus more which would result in a much bigger gain for me.
