Schools Kill Creativity

It is said that information is power. Unfortunately, Internet has inundated us too much information, more than we are able to process. Our attention is constantly distracted by one website or another, and it can be easy to overlook [1] interesting ones. So that’s why I am strongly recommending TED: Ideas worth Spreading [2]. It offers “riveting [3] talks by remarkable [4] people, free to the world”. Although the English speakers may be difficult to understand, they are often available with subtitles, like the one below .

Pretty much everyone agrees that there is something wrong with the modern educational system. Of course, it’s hard to find a consensus on what exactly are the problems, or even harder, how to solve them. In this video, Sir Ken Robinson doesn’t have the solution to fixing [5] education but he believes he has found the problem: schools kill creativity. With typical British humour, Sir Robinson argues his point strongly and convincingly.
