schools kill creativity?

This guy was dead on. He was a great speaker and made alot of valid points. He was very precise and detailed in his speech. He gave some great teaching pointers, and after browsing around his site I found even more great tips. The best thing that he stated was that "education takes us into the future." This statement is so true. The students of today are the teachers of tomorrow.

I agreed with his take on unpredictability. I also like when he said that children's minds are capacities for innovation. The fact that creativity is as important as literacy is another interesting point. It shows that children must be knowledgeable and know how to turn that knowledge into something. "All children are born artist" is a great way that he sums up the argument that creativity should always be allowed to be expressed.
