The value of education for for the individual.

This is another fantastic Ted.com post. This man "Sir Ken Robinson" explains the value of education for for the individual as opposed to education for the masses.

The educational system has become nothing but a tool to teach similarity and consistancy with proven failures and goals of value only for the few who would benefit off of that structure, not the children being educated.

The focus of this discussion is on individualism and the need to allow children to use all of their talents in the education process so that they can express themselves in a manner more suited to the talents that they have been given naturally.

The concept of "one size fits all" has failed too many times in the past and needs to become more respective to the differences in individuals so that all the options for a better society can be explored. Before there is no chance left to find improvement at all.
