The traditional school is often considered the bedrock of a developed and productive society. However, this belief usually stems from the following assumption: people who complete the traditional education system do will continue to do and operate the machinery of society to maintain large corporate profits in a system that requires constant growth. Instead of supporting and encouraging creative and out-of-the-box thinkers, the system encourages more submissive, obedient and trained students. Thus, in this way, it is ensured that the existing system is continuously maintained. This means that the mainstream model focuses less on the individual and their progress. Instead, the focus is more on creating a "production line" of workers who will go out into the world and perform their tasks within the boundaries set by the system. Sir Ken Robinson gave a famous TED talk in 2007 in which he presented his belief that education kills creativity.
