I came across an amazing video on Youtube. It is an animation done to a speech by Sir Ken Robinson. Now I had heard him speak before and can only say I agree fully with him about the complete stupidity of the way we educate our kids and even, since I’ve spent most of my life in adult education, the way we educate adults. It has a lot of relevance to those in the creative disciplines, since we suffer the most in conventional education.

His book: Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative is an amazing book and something every educator should read. A first class thinker and communicator.
