Do Schools Kill Creativity?



Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity:


“Children starting in school this year will be retiring around 2065.”



“Creativity now is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.”



“If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original.”

“We are running our education systems where mistakes are the worst things you can make.”

“The result is we are educating people out of their creative capacities.”
“Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value and more often than not comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things.”
