We absolutely agree with the ideas that Mr. Robinson expose in this video RSA Animate “Changing education paradigms”. Society has been changing during centuries but not the educational system (or not as fast as needed). Children have to many distractions (TV, mp3, computers, games...) and for this reason, they think that learning is boring. The most important thing is to show them that the act of learning is very important.
As Mr.Robinson shows in the video, They are said to have the ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) but it is a fictitious epidemic. Kids are unmotivated and if the educational system changes probably children’s knowledge would improve. Classes should be adapted according to the new interests of children because they would find their classes interesting. Teachers would also adapt the way of testing. Nowadays, kids do not believe that going to school will ensure a job when they finish their degree.Another issue to take into the account is the standardisation.
From our point of view, it is good for them to be grouped according to their age group but also according to their skills and interests. The most important thing is to reorganize the educational system in line with the necessities of the children of the 21st century.
