The videos below show some insights into how the contemporary school system is affecting us and why it may be time for educational reform...
Video 1: "Shaykh Hamza talks about school life in the USA"
This is an interesting panel discussion I came across concerning the documentary "Race to Nowhere," which is a film critiqing the rigid and formulaic sturcture of western school systems.
Video 2: "School Kills Creativity"
Sir Ken Robinson discusses the school system's negligence towards fostering creativity and the displinary hierarchy that exists within the system, pressuring children towards careers deemed to be more "prestigious" and honourable.
I hope you found the above videos as enlightening and insightful as I have. It’s important to reflect on the effects of the institutional structures that have indoctrinated us to perceive learning in a certain way and challenge our own perceptions. Are we really in school because we feel that academia is the best environment to nurture our personal talents? Or are we simply going through the motions, following the script, and standing in line?
