I love kids. They call a spade a spade. And (I like to think) they don't mean it to come across as nasty, or as a poke or a way to cut us down, but what they say can make us do a double take...so long as we treat what they tell us the same way we would consider constructive criticism from an adult.
If you ever get a chance to watch TED talks, you will find a whole host of kids who call a spade a spade on all sorts of topics from poverty, to education to technology. This TED Talk I'm going to share with you is done by Adora Svitak, who in 8 minutes, is going to tell you about what adults can learn from kids. And frankly, she puts us in out place. I found her talk inspiring, truthful, and a bit jarring. Now I wonder how can I inject more childish behaviour in my classroom. Enjoy!
