Silent dialogue with discussion questions:
Robinson contends that creativity should be as important in education as literacy, and later in his lecture, that dance is as important as neuroscience. What does he mean by this? Why do you think he is making such big and potentially provocative claims? Do you agree with him? What would have to change in our society for us to value these things similarly?
Both Gatto and Robinson advocate for education reform. How could educations be best altered to best accommodate their ideas? How could it be changed to encourage creativity as Robinson suggests? What would be done differently in schools? Who would benefit from the changes you propose? How would society in general benefit from those differences? What obstacles to those changes could you foresee?

Question #1
His meaning by dance is important is that it makes kids who dance think. He makes it a big deal because the kids who don’t normally think; when they get to dance class they start to begin to think as they dance. I agree with Robinson to a point. It is more than just dancing. It is all the Arts, such as drawing and music. The schools don’t want kids to think. They almost have the same books, with different teachings.
