This piece is inspired by the work and ideas of Sir Ken Robinson with a Pink Floyd twist.

As a short description, my imaginary world talks about an education system that kills creativity and puts accent on sciences, mathematical intelligence and the ability of children to hold in their heads vast amount of information. Competition is on the first place and cooperation is not an option, so this opens the door to a lonely world.
This system can be compared with a factory or an industrial machine that evacuates, at regular intervals, standardized batches of good workers , respectful of authority ,scared of making mistakes and of being wrong.
Anyone that fails to comply with this standard will be categorized as a failure and a loser and stigmatized for the rest of their life. The fragile young children that enter this system can only feel trapped, lost, fearful and without escape.
