CREATIVITY

Well, on this video we can hear the story of Logan Laplante, who is 13 years old, and who took out from the traditional system of education, to be taught with special system of education. 

This little guy, was pulled out from the school with just 9 years old, because his mother wants to try with a different system of education. So, Roger Walsh, a scientist who studies how to be happy and healthy, wanted to change the education system, because the traditional system it's oriented to how to make a career rather than how to make a good life. The school teaches us that if we study to get a degree, If we get marry... We will be happy, and healthy. But all of this it's not necessary. The most important thing to be happy in future, it would have to be learn about happiness and healthiness. But them are not considered education. 

So this little guy, now studies how to continue being happy as he's now. He called this new system "hackschooling". This system it's based on the TLC (therapeutic life-style changes), which are the basic "subjects" to fulfill the objectives of this system: become happy and healthy. He called “hackschooling” because he thinks that the world needs more hacker minds. Hackers are not just nerds in front of the computer. Hackers are innovators, people who challenge and change the system, to make it go different and make it better. 

I'm fascinated by this little guy. It's amazing how he talks, how he thinks. I absolutely agree with him. The schools kills creativity. I think that our education would have to be oriented to LEARN, not to study for the exams, and to forget everything after it. 

We need more practical knowledge. The best characteristic of the human race, is the CREATIVITY. Our progress depends on the creativity. I think that the education system would have to change.
