Ken Robinson Says Schools Kill Creativity Post #11

TED Talk

I think Ken is right. I think schools do tell children to calm down and that that sometimes keep children from possibly growing and becoming something that they could. I also think kids should be given outlets to use their creativity. I feel like he hits the nail on the head when he talks about how once we reach a certain age that schools only teach us from the waist up and then later only focus on the head and brain. He is so right when he says that we don't grow into creativity, rather out of it. I feel like this may happen to many children in our schools, because the artsy ones who doodle, or can't sit still are "taught out" of these behaviors; therefore, hindering (or killing) their creativity.
