Almost as funny as Eddie Izzard

...but far more relevant, at least to me.  A TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson on how schools kill creativity.

I *LOVE* these TED Talks!

But of COURSE schools kill creativity.
Schools are designed to produce conformity and homogeny, to give society/the government/what-have-you a consumer of known quantity and maleability.
This is achieved in 90% of subjects.
Just drive through southern Johnson County for proof.

The other 10% are divided into achievers and misfits, as circumstances pan out for each individual.
