Creativity needs to be charished in School

Schools are one of the reasons the world economy isn't where it should be. In Ken Robinson TED presentation of, "However Schools Kill Creativity," it gives examples of this.

At birth we start off with extroadinary level of human creativity. We have no idea whats going to happen. Children have extroadinary capacities for innovation. Unpredictability of what work there would be is not known when this generation graduates in 2065.

All children are born with tremendous talent and we squander them. Creativity should be treated as important as literacy. Children will take more chances that is why they both get in trouble and are happier than their adult counterparts. They are not prepared to be wrong which makes them original.

We are actually educating people out of their creative capacities because all children are born artists. The biggest problem is to remain artists, however they are taught that being different is wrong. We don't grow into creativity we grow out of it. Professors are what schools make. They live in their heads.

We can't afford to go on where creativity is the lowliest form of education. More people worldwide will be graduating with a degree in history, technology and medical science's, which is not nessarily a bad thing, but their have to artistic talent to weigh them out as well. A few years ago if you had a degree you had a job, however if you had no degree no job.

These are the ways intelligence is viewed.

If you are dynamic you are able to do many things, and are percieved as gifted. Now diversity means you are musically or inclined to dance. Distinct means you are unique and do not fall into the above catagories.

What education has done now, since the early nineteenth century is mined our minds as we mine the Earth which we see doesn't work. Here is a quote from Jonas Salk a medical researcher, "If all the inscects were to disappear from the Earth, within 50 years all life on earth will end. If all human beings would disappear from the Earth all life would flourish."
