Sir Ken Robinson begs the question: Do modern schools kill creativity.

Great video! I was extremely into it :cool:

Trust me It's worth the 20min...the man is pretty funny as well.

Decent video but why must everyone misuse the phrase "begs the question"? Unless it's a joking insult directed at Robinson, like he's an uncreative product of the education system or something.

I wanted to post this. But since it has already been posted before I figured I'd just dig this thread up.

Ken Robinson gives a very interesting talk on creativity. Especially his anecdote about the little girl that became a world-famous dancer is amazing.

Have you found your passion? If not... How come? Are you still searching for your passion? Do you consider yourself to be a creative person??

I definitely agree with a lot of what he said.  The public education system was created to produce workers, not to provide a medium through which children to learn & grow.  Writing has always been a passion of mine, with abstract drawing/painting being a close second.  I found public education to be completely frustrating, because they kept hammering at subjects that I knew I wasn't meant to explore, leading to poor grades in everything but language, creative writing & art.

I think there needs to be something in place in all public school systems that allows the students to explore & develop their gifts, thus perpetuating the beauty known as human ingenuity.

I did well in school but never paid attention. I was the kid that was always looking out the window.

I was trying to find this guy's book (Epiphany) on torrent but haven't been able to do so. If anyone knows where I can find it please send me a  :pm: !

I've been watching lots of videos on TED today. Another interesting vid I watched is this one about a deaf percussionist.

Yeh, dance sucks, I'm glad they don't teach dance.
