23 quotes from
Sir Ken Robinson’s talk
at TED Talks Education
“

I knew that Americans get
irony when I came across that
legislation No Child Left Behind.
Because whoever thought of that
title gets irony — because it’s
leaving millions of children behind.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
“

There are three (3) principles on
which human life flourishes, and
they are contradicted by the
culture of education under which
most teachers have to labor and
most students have to endure.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
(1)

Human beings
are naturally
different and
diverse.

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

If you sit kids down,
hour after hour,
doing low-grade
clerical work, don’t
be surprised if they
start to fidget.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

Children are not, for the
most part, suffering
from a psychological
condition. They’re
suffering from
childhood.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

A real education
has to give equal
weight to the arts,
the humanities, to
physical education.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

Kids prosper best
with a broad
curriculum that
celebrates their
various talents,
not just a small
range of them.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

The arts aren’t just
important because they
improve math scores.
They’re important
because they speak to
parts of children’s being
which are otherwise
untouched.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
(2) The second principle that

drives human life flourishing is:

curiosity.
— Sir Ken Robinson
“

If you can light the
spark of curiosity in a
child, they will learn
without any further
assistance, very
often. Children are
natural learners.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

Curiosity is the engine
of achievement.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

Teaching is a
creative profession.
Teaching, properly
conceived, is not a
delivery system.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

The role of a teacher is
to facilitate learning.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
But....
“

The dominant culture of education has come to
focus on not teaching and learning, but testing.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

In place of curiosity, what we
have is a culture of compliance.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
“

Our children and teachers
are encouraged to follow
routine algorithms rather
than to excite that power
of imagination & curiosity.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
(3) The third principle is this:

creative
human life is inherently

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

...one of the roles of education is to
awaken and develop [the] powers of
creativity. Instead, what we have is a
culture of standardization.

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

Education is not a mechanical system.
It’s a human system. It’s about people.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
“

Right beneath the
surface are the
seeds of possibility
waiting for the
right conditions...

”

— Sir Ken Robinson
“

The real role of leadership in
education...should not be
command and control...
“

The real role of leadership is
climate control, creating a
climate of possibility.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
“

You take a school...you change the
conditions, give people a different sense of
possibility, a different set of expectations, a
broader range of opportunities, you cherish
and value the relationships between
teachers and learners, you offer people the
discretion to be creative...and...
“

...schools that were once
bereft spring to life.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
“

...schools that were once
bereft spring to life.
— Sir Ken Robinson

”
A few quotes do not do
justice to Sir Ken’s talk.
Please take time to watch
his latest TED talk and
share it with others to keep
the conversation going.
