Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

Last week, I fell in love with David Keirsey. This week, I'm in love with Sir Ken Robinson. This talk is from Feb 2006. Why haven't I seen it before? What an awesome person with an awesome vision for the future of education! He speaks my heart. This is what I've been trying to say for the past ten years, but did not have the right words...

In his hilarious TED speech, he touched my heart in places that were longing to be touched. I thought I was fighting a lonely and ineffective battle. But here's someone who is actually well respected and trying to make a difference. Bravo, Sir Robinson! (The video is 19 minutes but well worth it. Learn something, will ya?) :-)



One thing he said, though... When he was talking about women being better equipped to multi-task... I don't think that's a man/woman thing. I tend to think it's an S/N thing or SJ/NP thing. I am definitely not a multi-tasker, but my husband is. Any thoughts on this?

You can also listen to his lecture he gave in June 2008 at the award ceremony where he was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal by the UK's RSA (the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce).
