Very interesting video as usual from RSAnmiate on Changing the Education Paradigm by Sir Ken Robinson. He says that instance of ADHD has grown with the rise of standardized testing primarily because we are boring students to death! ADHD is a fictitious epidemic. We treat students based on age groups – we batch them by “date of manufacture” & put them in assembly lines. We tell them there is only one correct answer and it is in the back of the book and ‘don’t look’ because that would be copying which is plagiarism.
Watch this marvelous video:
