Sir Ken Robinson describes the current education system is based upon 18^th century traditions and principles and not concentrated on today’s learners and standards. Robinson also discusses how students are being medicated, claiming they have ADHD and further needs to be done to “awaken” students in the classroom. This Ted talk examines how mathematics has been heavily taught by using an algorithm for solving a problem. What happens if a student does not comprehend the algorithm? I think we can agree that frustration can guide a student down a path to dislike math. As I have learned from working in education, educators are taking the wheel and incorporating more diverse learning styles for different kinds of learners. Additionally, teachers can combine ideas that will make the information click for students. Teachers need to spend the time to address the different kinds of learners they have in their classroom. For example, if students like working in groups or outside and that generates teamwork and learning then we should do it. However, I understand teachers have guidelines and must follow the lessons and common standards. Adding the extra attention to students who need it can make a huge difference in student growth. The part about ADHD stood out to me. Sir Ken Robinson offers an fascinating take on the topic of ADHD, claiming, “Our children are living in the most intensive stimulating period in the history of the earth. They’re being besieged with information and coerced for attention from every platform: computers, iPhones, advertising hoardings, and hundreds of television channels. And we’re penalizing them now for getting distracted. From what? Boring stuff. At school, for the most part. It seems to me not a coincidence, totally, that the instance of ADHD has risen in parallel with the growth of the standardized testing”. He reflects that the increase in technology and standardized testing are the components increasing ADHD occurrence.
