Sir Ted Robinson on education.


One of the most profound thoughts running around on a rampage in my head is the idea that the church can take lead the way in educating our kids. Public education systems around the world are obsolete and irrelevant and getting more so by the day.

The church, free of the constraints of government mandated curriculum can respond in the space of a week and begin to teach kids the most important knowledge on earth, the gospel of Jesus Christ in ways that have not been seen before.
Watch the video below from Ken Robinson and get inspired to create real learning in your children.

Brilliant! This is an absolutely, wonderfully brilliant video, and horribly entertaining too!

Thanks for posting this – I’m going to have to show it to everybody I meet now, so they thank you too. Sir Ken Robinson eloquently states what we’ve always known, but does so in a passionate and moving way. He really is a convincing speaker.

Daniel,

Thanks for the comment.

This needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

The great thing is, the speakers at the conference this was recorded at, get 15 mins to speak and that’s IT! So you get everything in a really concise manner.

Thanks for giving me, a public school teacher, another reason to be depressed. Seems we never do
anything right and we get it from all sides. Now I’m obsolete, irrelevant, and getting more so by the day. Yippee!
