Paradigms in Education

This video is just to help you get thinking about education and what it is actually for. Why do we have public education at all? What do we want citizens to learn? And are they learning what they should? The video is an animated lecture given by Ken Robinson. In it, he talks a little about the history of education in the U.S. and the beliefs behind it, and what he sees as the necessity for change. Do you agree with his ideas? Why or why not?
