Document Summary

Sir ken robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. Creativity expert sir ken robinson challenges the way we"re educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence. Three themes: evidence of human creativity we have no idea of the future extraordinary capabilities that children have. All kids have talent and we squander them. Creativity is as important as literary, and we should treat it the same. Teacher said you don"t know what he looks like but she said you will find out in a minute. If kids don"t know something, they"ll still try, they are not frightened of being wrong. If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original. We are educating people out of creative capacities.
