Ted Talk #1 (Sir Ken Robinson)

This Ted Talk really made me think about our education system. Sir Ken Robinson is correct when he says schools do not teach math and arts equally. Society today focuses on math, reading, writing and history, fine art classed are not nearly as emphasized as the other subjects. In school I have to take 2 years of math, 4 to get into collage. Yet only a few art credits are required to graduate. Arts in school should be taught as much as academic subjects.

Sir Ken Robinson had a very effective speaking style.He made the speech funny and easy to listen to by including jokes that helped along the story. He also added examples of his ideas so the audience could understand his thoughts better. The funny and easy to follow speech made the meaning of the speech sink in better.
