Do schools today kill creativity?

All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. -Picasso



We don't grow into creativity. We grow out of it. Or rather, we are educated out of it.-Ken Robinson

This is education guru Sir Ken Robinson. He 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.)
