Rest my case - a reflection about education

We want to show you the following video. It is a wonderful reflection about education where the methodology is judged. It supports that every child should be treated and learned in a different way according to his abilities and capacities because each one of them is different. It is impossible to teach the same thing in the same way to children with different dreams, needs... The creativity and the individuality must be promoted. 

We have to change the methodology, the subjects should have the same time (for example, 3 hours of maths and other 3 of art), the homework must disappear and the distribution of the classroom have to be modified. 

As a consequence, we can see the evidence that the school has not changed in 150 years, the classrooms are similar! Although it seems incredible, it's true. So the author question if in this situation students are trained for the future. 

"The teachers are heroes because they can reach the heart of a child" as it is said in the video. But they are hard punished and criticised. Please, watch the video and reflect on it!
