Education killing creativity.

Sent by one of the Waspsnest Estonian co-conspirators, an enlightening and very amusing video of a talk by Sir Ken Robinson on the state of our education system and how it is killing creativity.

One great quote from the video to whet your appetite – “We have a huge vested interest in education, partly because it’s education that is supposed to take us into a future that we can’t grasp. If you think of it, children starting school this year will be retiring in 2065. Nobody has a clue what the world will look like in 5 years time but we are supposed to be educating them for it”.
