Sir Ken Robinson, "Creativity"

• everyone has an interest in education.
• education is meant to take us into the future for something we cannot grasp.
• children have huge capacity for innovation.
• creativity is just as important as literacy in education.
• if you're not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original.
• all children are born artists.
• if we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it.
• humanity is the bottom of art.
• art and music are given a higher state in school than drama and dance.
• there was no public education before the 19th century.
• the whole world is engulfed in revolution.
• in the next 30 years, more people will be graduating in education than all the people in history.
• degrees aren't worth anything.
• intelligence is dynamic, wonderfully interactive and distinct.
• rethink the fundamentals of the education for our children.
• if all human beings disappeared on earth, animals would flourish.

Summary:

Ken Robinson's speech meant a lot because I agree with all of his points, concluding that education is killing the creavitity there is in ever child. If children are destined to learn something they love and will purse it in their future, why learn things that are mandatory and generalized for all kids. Creativity is very important in everyone's life, whether someone knows their talent or not, they will find out through the things they love. When people say they "aren't creative," it just shows that they aren't willing and have the motivation to see what they are actually good at.
