Education Vs. Creativity

i find this an interesting topic for everyone, because it's relevant to almost everyone. i find that artistic passion and motivation are the driving forces of advances in society.

now, this is a long watch, but i find it completely worth the time, and more. Ken Robinson is basically plugging his book, but he gives a wonderful speech too. if you want, you can search "do schools kill creativity?" and watch the 20 minute version, but it's sub par compared to this.

YouTube - Sir Ken Robinson, Hammer Lectures

i agree with all that he says, it's just the problem of implementing such an idea into the society we've created for ourselves. i don't think it would be wise for a drastic change; seeing small changes along the way would be pertinent. i know that i've learned a lot from great teachers, and absolutely nothing from bad ones.
