The video “Changing Education Paradigm” by Ken Robinson expressed that the educational system should change its paradigm as the clip is titled. Educators and instructors should acknowledge that we must raise the educational standards. The education system need to change their outdated conception of academics and bring forth and more effective an efficient method of education our children. Instead of focusing on standardization the focus should lean more on divergent thinking. This form of thinking enables an essential capacity for creative learning. Teacher should support each child individually and give more room for creative activities and instructions.

I definitely agree with Robinson’s message. I believe that there must be a dramatic change in the educational field. A system that can improve and prepare students to work effectively. As stated in his message, developing a form to educate children to take a place in the economies and teach children how to pass cultural identity.
  
In connection to my observation working in the educational field as a paraprofessional and I have been given the opportunity to work directly with children in teacher in classroom settings. Not only that but have form part of many curriculum team and seen the development for how a child are expected to be instructed and personally I disagree. Every child is different and all learn different and these common core and standardization leave no room for creative learning and exploring different way for academic approach.
