What Robinson and Sahlberg have in common is that they disagree with how the education system in America is being set up. Even if they both have this idea in common they also have a lot of differences. For instance Robinson says that the education system in America is more factory like since they split us up into age group. He also says that the education is based like how it was during the Enlightenment period and the economy of the schools was made in the Industrial Revolution. Basically what Sir Ken Robinson says is that we should let the past be the past and move forward with our education system by helping people become divergent thinkers instead of giving them anesthetics. Pasi Sahlberg, on the other hand, thinks that our problem is that we are competitive when it comes to schools. Especially the private schools, we compete against one another just to make it in. For Sahlberg he says that equality is basically key to the success in Finland since everyone does the same exact things and don't really have much of a choice. Both of these educators have amazing ideas in how to reshape the education system in America, but when we actually think about it a lot of people wont agree with either of them and the plan could possibly fail.
