This was a good video. Whenever Robinson was talking about the lady who helped choreograph "Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera," it made sense. Now, we do put kids on medication who can't sit still or who can't focus in the classroom. All they need is an 'out.' Let them be creative, instead of trying to calm them down. I'm not saying the children don't need any medication at all, but just try and see first.
Whenever he was talking about being wrong because of fear, well, that's so true. Most people now are afraid of being wrong. Mistakes are the worst thing you can make, according to some. We do stigmatize mistakes. Everyone's afraid of being creative because of what someone else may say.

We learn from mistakes. Everybody should at least!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you totally. It's amazing how many children are on medication now and who know's what they could have achieved had they not been stopped!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you also...we seem to put kids on medication to fast instead of seeing what helps them learn without the use of medication.
