Sir Ken Robinson-

What I think Sir Ken Robinson means by dance being as important as neuroscience is that schools today are placing math and languages before drama and dancing. He is saying that not everyone is going to want to major is math or any kind of sciences because there are people out in the world who are dancers, creative and love drama but aren’t getting “the spotlight.” I do most definitely agree with him because I am personally a very artsy and creative person and I do feel that it’s not that important every time I walk into my High School. I had signed up for Art classes ever year of High School and was never put in it. Whether it might have been bad luck or not, I didn’t feel like Art was that important even though I knew inside that it was my passion. I do hope that one day it will be one of the important subjects in school and people will go with what they love instead of what they have to love. I think that by doing this, people will start to see changes not only in schools but in the community. There might be amazing dancers that finally get to dance and artist that get to publish their work and all sorts of other amazing things we never had the chance to see as much as people would love to. The teachers would have to shift their attention of the subjects they were being taught are most important, and start giving their attention to other very important subjects that haven’t been brought out the way they should have been.

  1. I really like how you used personal experiance to emphisize Robinsons point because it shows that this way of education is really conflicting people today. I agree with your statement I have felt similar ways to art classes. I enjoy art a lot but since society looks so low upon it and the art industry is very competitive it almost frightens you to take a chance in doing what you love.
