Schools kill creativity

Hi everybody,

Today I write about one video, this video ccc. Really, I write about the most important idea, the central idea.

Ken Robinson (PhD in Education, University of London) presents the notion of that school kill creative of children’s. This sentence is shared for different authors, theorists, sociologist, and educator from distinct perspective.

Today is possible say that school it a system whit two faculty: (1) sociability, better say, deliver to boys and girls the necessary ways to live in a particular society and (2) differentiate the capacities of the persons in a particular society.

This system, this educative model is necessary to this society, how say Ken Robinson. It’s obviously, this inequality society by means of their educative system –and their institutions, like schools, university and others- promote not reflexive works. Automates.

So, don’t are significant the artist, the critical through, the creative…

The worst of all this is how the creative is kill by means of education. Is more important learn mathematics, science or any knowledge to make money.

Terribly, are the individual promotion social reigns as ideology, and not is the class conscience not as drive for social transformation. 

My presentation

Hello everyone,

Today I'll write about my next exposition in english III asignature. The subject that I'll work  it's about a specifict topic of sociology: Sociology of education.

I choose this theme because sinces two years ago I have been developed my university works about this topic. It has been so interesting for me, I feel that it is one of the topics of applicated sociology more related to understand the social reality of Chile in our days. I wondered: How the education that is delivered to the childrens today affects in the formation of our society? That's why I have been working on the concept "School", it has a extensive developing in the sociology tradition since Durkheim in the XIX century til the actuality. 

I will focus principally on expose what it is the sociology of education, wich is it aim and method, and I will try to approach in what I have been  trying to specialize: The resistance theory, with authors like Paul Willis anf Henry Giroux.

I hope that my exposition make clear what I'm working on and why I'm interested on

Why sociology?

Today talk about my career and ask why I decide study it.

-Why are you studying this career?

I’m not sure because I ingress to sociology. Always I thanked that really reason is not fund another career. Ok, this is not good ask, bur really I haven’t other. In my last year in high school I wanted be mathematics teacher in the future and y didn't know what happened. In “preu” I got to know the social science, not only sociology, also politic science, anthropology and psychology. I decide for sociology almost randomly.

- How do professionals in your area contribute to society?

This is a necessary question in special for my career. The sociology have to contribute to society, not only have to object of study. The principal contribution, from my personal perspective, has to produce knowledge useful to understand ours reality and historic process. The sociology has to be a tool.   

- What tools will a professional in your area need to have in the future?

The professional of the sociology must have the ability to can describe and explain the social process in the Latin American society.

- What is your favourite subject?

Emm, are various. In general, the branch of theory and methodology I liked. The statistic also I liked. But, my favorites subject is Sociology of Education.
