Sir Ken Robinson and Pasi Sahlberg both want to improve our education. If these two men would sit down and have a discussion with one another, it probably would be an exciting one. Since they both view education very differently it would be an interesting talk. I think that somehow they would come to an agreement since they both think opposite of each other. Sir Ken Robinson says that in our educational system kids are not focused being because that it’s boring. If the material kids work on was more fun and hands on they would probably learn from it better than to have a teacher up their lecturing to them. Now in Finland they have it where their education system has no cost no matter what type of situation you are in. In America, we cannot do this because it would affect our country’s work force. If everyone was in school then who would be out there working? This could help us in America with like not having to pay for it and stuff but I think that we should change our education system but not exactly like Finland’s.

  1. I couldn't agree more, my blog post holds a somewhat realistic idea of their conversation and might I say, it is amazing. I feel as though Sir Robinson is more opinionated on the topic only for the years of experience compared to Sahlberg, which is why Robinson would dominate majority of the conversation with his ideals. But when it comes to America anything free is nice, and in many ways the public school system is free but the education is poor. This is why private schools were introduced so parents who know how bad the system is can better their children so that they will have a better future. It does cause for segregation but its only because the teaching is on a better and different aspect. We don't need school free we simply need to give everyone the same opportunity to learn, starting with the teachers and how they teach. We need to standardize them to an extent not the students.
