I have to do a confession. I have never though about we are educated only our head until I heard Sir Ken Robinson. It's true. Almost people follow an intellectual career, in fact, only I know one person in my school that decided to follow an artistic career: dance.
How many people who want to be an artist or a dancer, followed a intellectual career, only because our society tell us that the future and the success is in our head. "You MUST to follow a GOOD career, you have to be a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer... why?
I have to make a question to my classmates.... what said your family when you said that you want to study anthropology?? Personally, my family don't said anything, even they are happy now for me; but all my friend tell me: Why? You will be in the street next! You don't get money with that!!
Money? That means that the purpose of education it's get money? I don't think so... Well, the sad true is many people don't follow the career that they want, they follow the career that they pocket want. The problem is, that the career that privileged the head are the careers that most money give.
I think that many career that privileged the body, (not the head) like dance, are very difficult, you have to be a high control of your body; a control that most of us don't have!
The problem of education is a problem of society, a problem of the though of the society, even a problem of our culture!
Why culture? Because other society with other cultures, like oriental culture; have other though about the education of their children. They have martial arts, that forced to the person to have a strong control not only in the body, in the head too. Thats society have an education that combined the head and the body. Mental and physical control.
That is really education! Body and head. But we have a really long way to get that
