Creativity, and how education systems throughout the world kills it

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

Hello everyone,
If you haven't watched this video, please take some time to watch it. Sir Ken Robinson, a prominent international figure in education and creativity, delivered a captivating speech back in 2006 at a TED conference. He talked about how the education system throughout the globe suppresses creativity and human's natural talent as most of the modern education system were built upon the basis of the industrial revolution. He is hilarious!!!

As educators, it probably takes a tremendous amount of effort to go against the mainstream of education that mostly tailors everyone towards one goal that not everyone can achieve - becoming "university professors" as Sir Ken Robinson puts it.

There is another video that's sort of the sequel to this one, and I'll post it later.

Have fun watching it!
