where people of all ages come here.

The smallest participants two years.

The oldest are above 70.

Important is the variety. I think that's very important ...

because it thought the competition has no chance.

Everyone is taken seriously here, and that everyone knows.

Even in het water en dan in de verf.

Dat is genoeg.

The result is that people change here.

They must tolerate a lot in their lives.

They are compared, judged, condemned ...

They never got the chance to discover that they can do something good.

That's enough, Rose.

Sorry I'm late. -That does not matter.

Playing is not something that you need to create or produce.

Playing is enjoy and be active.

As you play, you're doing something with your whole being ...

and that is something which is not possible in school.

Children should take life seriously ...

but rather the game must be taken seriously.

In the game all the skills are utilized and developed.

Thus you come to yourself. That's all you need.

That should really be the basis in the life of each child:

Dance, music and painting. The rest comes naturally.

Once dip:
one drop of water one drop of paint.

The so-called secondary subjects should be the main subjects of all children.

Would satisfy the people who can handle everything.

Of course that does not fit into the curriculum.

But what the school now knows the real needs of a child?

The curriculum is based on the adult world ...

and children must conform to them.

I see what is lost when children through education.

The few children who come to the Painter Oord and find themselves ...

and overcome all outside influences, his genius.

They are just as ingenious as all the people who just may go about their business.

Everyone should know ...

which is the education of people and makes something ...

to which they are out of the world.

Water?

-Water, geel en wit.

Grab the white only. Do you have anything? -White.

Probably they do not want strong people ...

with a strong will.

One wants submissive people who acquiesce in a system.

Can I continue with my fingers? Yeah, you know.

It is also the goal of the school system for people to get so far ...

they are a little dissatisfied, but not too much, because that causes resistance.

They must be so disgruntled that they flee to consume.

Since the school has a stake in.

The school destroys the best forces and values that can develop a child.

Instead of going to create the child itself ...

takes what it has learned.

And that is very small compared with that to which it is actually capable of.

Please. And now white for Lucas.

I'll be.

It does not smell strongly, because it is low.

It smells good. -It Smells a little.

Until next time, Amo. -Until Sunday.

Where is Leona? I want her to say hello. -I'll Call her.

Is not she there? Hold on.

Parents and teachers later have a certain image of what is important.

What needs to learn three years.

In each case three languages, because that claim the neuroscientists.

In the native center fit namely three languages.

Maybe five, with a little effort.

But what is the most important experiences the child ...

it must meet many requirements? What lingers is:

If I need to learn in groups one and two English ...

even though that playfully ...

although I do not need English ...

then my first experience with teaching ...

I have to learn things at school that I do not need at all.

Therefore, we must think about ourselves and what we do with our children.

How we wonderful self learning in the child's brain ...

so manipulate and steer in a certain direction ...

essentially gifted people do not dare to use their talents.

Here in the archives I keep the painting game drawings ...

in 1946 in the home for war orphans arose.

Every year, new folders at the Painter Oord in Paris.

In total, 500,000 documents are stored here.

It not only works, but they are especially important for my research.

I sometimes come across people who have painted as a child with me.

Sometimes that's already thirty or forty, or even fifty years ago.

All these people say they were the best hours of their youth.

What wealth.

Sometimes they say that it was crucial for their development.

A flock of birds.

Here again.

Weather birds, against a different background.

Here is a road ...

and here he continues.

He continues.

March 1976.

A child repeats everything ...

because it can not be otherwise. It does again and again what it likes.

Another underwater scene.

The enthusiasm of a child to experience that ever again.

We saw that each child who came to the painter Oord ...

in the period from roughly 1950 to 1980.

Trees ...

And then everything changed.

This is a drawing from the current time.

From 2007.

It looks like a painting.

This should represent abstract art.

Or something.

This is no game.

Here speaks no mirth or pleasure.

Or that here.

A composition according to learned formulas ...

Applying the child ...

instead of play.

Then you wondering why a child does.

What is it here?

Here, the intention was to paint mountains ...

but the child does not play.

It is burdened by the weight of what it has learned.

It is clear that it is different now than in the past.

And there's a reason for that. The children are taxed

They stand for the blank sheet and wonder ...

or paint what they expect the adults and teachers.

And then the child does not play anymore. It stands for the blank sheet ...

and no longer a child.

It's a theorist. A chilly adult.

It is very sad to see that.

I'm in the third grade of a secondary school in Hamburg and I have a problem.

Everyone knows that school is not real life.

But my life consists only of school. So there is something wrong somewhere.

I come home at four o'clock and I'm not going to sleep before eleven o'clock.

That is not because I kk TV, I relax or have fun.

My head is full. Too full.

What do the people who make our school years?

What have parents that we care later for retirement ...

but now have no life anymore?

What I write here, affects everyone.

Pupils, parents, siblings, teachers.

I want to file a complaint. But how do you do that?

Who should I be if nobody feels responsible?

I'm Thomas Sattelberger. I am HR Director at Deutsche Telekom.

I've been doing this for forty years.

I'm probably the HR Director with the longest track record in Germany.

I worked for twenty years at Daimler Benz ...

ten years at Lufthansa, four years at Continental AG.

Deutsche Telekom working 250,000 people.

We have a turnover of nearly 60 billion ...

and we are the third telecommunication company in the world.

The Ministry of Education still comes from the old Prussia.

It did not work...

in order to adapt the teaching to conceptually a world ...

in which teaching in the sense of correct, adjust and conform ...

is not decisive.

We have in this country so much untapped talent.

But if we make that talent in a straitjacket ...

the talents are not developed ...
