Blog #10

I really enjoyed Sir Ken Robinson’s video, Bring on the Learning Revolution. It was a powerful message that spoke directly to me. He states that we need to revolutionize our teaching efforts to reach our youth better, instead of reformation. In today’s school systems, it seems that most teachers just go with flow and teach their curriculum with no enthusiasm and with no creative methods. Mr. Robinson states that the education system is giving into conformity. This means that teachers and students are just going with the flow and barely scraping the surface of their academic potential. As teachers, we have to be able recognize that students have different talents in different subjects. Each student is different and learns in different manners. It is our job to reach the kids in different ways so that they can reach their full potential. Also, as teachers, we must work with our students to find out what they enjoy the most. Many people in today’s world just skate through life without finding their true passion. They basically have nothing to live for because they haven’t found their passion or inspiration. Mr. Robinson compares today’s educational system to a fast food restaurant due to the fact that fast food does not provide nourishment to the body. We have to nourish our students so that they can grow and potentially become something great.

I found this video to be very inspiring to me. I got inspired to continue pursuing my goals to become a teacher and help my students reach their goals. My ultimate passion is helping young students reach their dreams. There are some days when I feel lazy and don’t feel like doing my work, but then I remember that one day my students will be counting on me to educate them and help them prepare for the real world. I feel that it is my responsibility to help my students in any way possible.
