Do Schools Today Kill Creativity

6 January 2007 | Sir Ken Robinson

An interesting and fun video showing how the current education system is a creativity killer :

“A must-see for every parent and teacher. Education guru Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. Sir Ken Robinson is author of "Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative," and a leading expert on innovation in education and business. (Recorded February, 2006 in Monterey, CA.)

This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Sharing the results of psychological experiments (and the story of the Santa Cruz Strangler), he explains how we are all born with the capacity for empathy -- but we sometimes choose to ignore it.
