Didn´t Mr. Robinson´s talk remind you of those days at school when you tried to give ideas and the teachers just ignored you? At least for me, it was like that...
However, all what he said it was true, and what he talked about was a big concerning issue, I just couldn´t help laughing at his style...he was really funny.
Anyway...
It´s absolutely true that schools make students do what they have planned for them to do..and usually they definetely do not accept when they try to change part of the class or turn it into something more fun, or when they question what they say. Why don´t teacher ask students what they would like to learn about, or what kind of topics they would like to discuss about? I´m sure that children would support with ideas that would make the lesson DEATHLY!
This man invites us to reflect and do something for our future performance. He is a really thinkin´head...let´s be like him, and let´s wellcome our students thought to encourage their creativity and critical thinkin´.

Hi Cristina,
I saw your comment on Bernadita's blog about 1984. I first read this book in about 1970 and I loved it. In fact it was my favourite book when I was younger. I ended up reading it 3 or 4 times. I'm not sure if it's become dated with time but it's still viewed as a classic of English literature and features on the Times list of 100 best books of all time. It would be interesting to know why you didn't like it.
