Check this ted talk about schools by the Taliban where they turn them into suicide Bombers.

I think this is very interesting because the Taliban group and its progress is a very booming topic to talk about at any time. I find them really insane using the Koran as a brainwashing tool to educate little innocent boys to kill people and also kill themselves. I'm very sure that the Koran itself does not teach to kill people the way they do, I think they are just flipping all the words of the Koran. I also found out from this movie that the boys come from poor families who do not speak arabic and so it makes them way easier to be brainwashed because they are taught in arabic where they do not understand a single thing. Their parents also couldn't come and rescue them because they don't have money. They may not suffer there, but from the video we can see how they don't even look like they're conscious, they look like they are being hipnotized while doing their routines.

this is about how school stops student's creativity. Because "IF we are not to be wrong, we don't have creativity".

This is a very interesting video in my opinion, the video is about a guy that tells a story just by using emoticons. I believe that the reason why he is recording this is possibly the idea of how language has changed due to technology. Long time ago, emoticons doesn't exist, but now with technology being developed and more symbols are made, it has become part of a language themselves.

This is a video that is about a guy who tell the audience that the school is ruin the creativity in school life. The school is showing that arts are not that important then math, humanities and languages. In my opinion arts are important because without arts we would not have any good design laptops and similar to that, or if we have we would have a old and not modern laptops.
