Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity

Let's just say that Mr. Robinson hits dead on target with this lecture. There are so many children throughout this world that have been formed into things that they never inspired to be. By embracing their creative interests as well as their academics gives them even more options as they get older than just solely focusing on books.
I especially liked the story about Jillian that he told. I asked myself how many more people are there out there that were diagnosed and placed on medication for behavior issues instead of having those issues directly addressed. How many Mozarts, or Steven Spielbergs have gone unnoticed because we as parents and teachers have mistaken their abilities for diagnosable diseases.
