Are We Thwarting Creativity in Kids?
We recently came across this great 2006 Ted Talk by creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson.
As Robinson describes it, we begin life full of creative potential, then we are "educated out" of our creative capacity. Much of this happens in school where the emphasis on being right limits our ability to think outside the box. "If you're not prepared to be wrong," Robinson says, "you'll never come up with anything original."
Worth listening to.
