RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

Changing Education Paradigms? That was the topic of discussion during this presentation. At first the only thing intriguing was the actually presentation. I couldn't follow what the presenter himself was trying to tell me until half way through the video. The writing and drawings were a creative way to present all the information and keep the audience intrigued. 
When I was finally able to catch on I began to understand the pictures and where he was going with the presentation. Sir Ken Robinson believes that the medications doctors are giving children is not helping but hindering the children of the world. He also believes that the way education is being provided is actually taking away from the creative and thinking of children. Robinson explains that in a study that was done it showed how children began less intelligent after numerous years in school because of being told there is only one correct answer to a question. Robinson believes the only way to change the system is to change education from being like an assembly line, and I agree.
