Sir Ken Robinson talks on TedTalks.  When you have a few minutes, watch this presentation Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative.  He talks about our education system, how it was developed to serve the industrial age, how it is serving to tell young people they are NOT intelligent, how it places so much emphasis on literacy at the expense of creativity….and how it NEEDS to change.

All I can say is WOW!
