We focus more on making money to pay the bills and having the things that society says we should have to be successful, so that we forget to spend time doing things we love. As a high school senior, I worked two jobs and babysat on the side while trying to keep my grades up and prepare for college. Was it fun? No. And did I like working so hard? Not particularly. But I did what I had to do to have the money to pay for college. I started working as soon as I was old enough and I'm afraid my whole life will be this game of always trying to make more and more money to pay for the things I want. I would love to sit at home and paint or read with a cup of coffee. I would love to let my imagination run wild but it's not practical. So, initially, when we are young, school should prepare us to succeed; As we get older, school helps us cope with reality and forces us to choose between doing something we don't particularly like and something we like but doesn't pay more. money. We should put just as much emphasis on the things that we love and teach children that if you want to draw in class or if you like to dance, we should offer it in schools. Robinson's main point in his TED talk was that school no longer teaches us the things that are relevant. School should allow us to explore ourselves and determine what we want to do that will make us a better member of society. We shouldn't be forced to take math and science if you hate it and know you're going to do terrible things. It should be up to you to be able to do things that you love and things that will make you the creative person you want to become..
