Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity | Video on TED.com

Here is how we can truly begin a Creative Age.

Changing the mindset and approach of our educational systems. Sir Ken Robinson has devoted years of research and has spoken and written extensively on this subject. Being a former art teacher, I wholeheartedly stand behind this philosophy, and pray that this new mindset is adopted immediately. There were just too many creatively stifled students that I personally came across who should have been encouraged for being different - yet were punished, put in a box, or worse, put on pharmaceuticals.

This video is nearly 20 minutes, yet it is well worth it - even if you just watch some of it, you may find it changes your view of what is really happening to our society, and that this is where change is needed most!
