Thread: School Kills Creativity Video by Dr. Ken Robinson

Hi there fastlaners

An out of the box perspective about creativity, education and learning from the respected Dr. Ken Robinson who makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

From TED website:
http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinso...reativity.html

or you can watch it from youtube:



Happy New Year

I totally agree, which is why my kids aren't in school any longer. I took them out less than a year after adopting
them when they were in the 1st, 4th and 5th grades. They're now starting 9th, 12th and my oldest is done.
We're unschoolers and have been since leaving the school system behind. School has nothing to offer my kids. I run a popular unschooling site if anyone is interested in more information; An Unschooling Life

Loved it. Great video. I really liked about what he said about drugging children because they don't fit the standard learning mold.
