When I was a child, noted that some colleagues were going well and others not so much in their school grades. In pure child, I understood why: it is that some are adapted to the system and not others. I was sure that those who took low notes were not stupid, after all I lived with them beyond the walls of the Educational Establishment. But the big question that remains is: how a child could see it and the adults who gave lessons and ran the institution does not? Why there was a sincere concern to trigger an action to make school interesting for everyone, so all went well?

When I say go and I do not mean just good grades, but especially knowledge applied to generate life. Yes, because everything we learn in school, less to live. Nobody teaches us to live on. We learn by leaps and bounds, with a succession of errors that look smarter not to repeat. But how to change it?

I learned from this brief speech by Sir Ken Robinson on TED Talks a few days ago. Highly intelligent person and a very British humor that I like (because mood denotes little development of synapses), he points to the cultivation of creativity as an output. And I found it very interesting when he says that all children are born artists, but it disappears much later adulthood.

What a world we want to leave if we do not take education seriously?
