I watched the video that Sir Ken Robinson narrated on Flourishing. He made a comparison that just like the Earth's natural resources, often time human talent and human resources are also buried within. And in order to tap into that potential humans have to be intrinsically motivated and have to actively go "looking" for their talents. He suggests that this is a necessary thing that we do and that it does not come easy. He argues that old educational models and systems push conformity, however, we need to take on a model that supports individuality and diversity. Education should not be a linear mechanistic process but instead more like an organism. Just like an organism is a product of its environment, under certain conditions students will fade while in other conditions those same students can flourish.
