Creativity: undervalued in education
Brilliant talk. Sir Ken Robinson shares a vision of human potential that is far richer than what our current education system credits us for.
excerpts:
if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.
we are now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make.
we don’t grow into creativity, we grow out of creativity, or rather we get educated out of it.
Shakespere was a child at some point… he was in somebody’s English class
our education system has mined our minds the way we strip mine the earth, for a particular commodity, and it won’t serve us.
