Ken Robinson Says Schools Kill Creativity
Ken Robinsons main foucs was the children are not able to be as creative as they one were able to. He said that "creativity is as important as literacy." As being literate is vital, so is creativity according to Ken Robinson. Through his humor and stories, we can learn from Ken that not everyone learns the same way. Some people have to move around to think. Some people can not just sit still in desks with a direct instruction lesson from the teacher, they have to explore and be active in order to learn.

I really enjoyed Ken's presentation. I also think that schools stifle creativity and the innate love of learning. By testing 'to death' students do not like school, and if they do not do well they risk having to take more of the 'boring, hard' classes and less of the fun classes they actually enjoy and thrive in.
