the murder of creativity

In this video of a conference, Ken Robinson speaks about creativity and education. He says that human beings are creative for nature, that even all children are talented and that these talents are wasted for the society.
Something I find very interesting about is what Ken says in the video it is the importance that children aren't afraid to be wrong and that taking risks allows them to be original. This capacity is lost as you grow up until you become an adult.
The education system doesn't give the same importance to mathematics and arts or dance. This is a huge problem because persons aren't just a brain, theY have bodies too. But sometimes people forget that and live just for their mind.
Robinson speaks about the purpose of education and that this makes -professionals for the market, how this system leaves the many ways of intelligence that people have and how we need a human ecology for a better future for our children.
