I cannot believe I haven't seen this before. It was posted online nearly 2 years ago.
Sir Ken Robinson says things here we need to all consider. Of the many things that resonated with me, one was that creativity can only flourish if we are willing to be wrong.

Indeed! I just added the link to my sidebar. :)
Their membership is a little steep. Gives the impression of being elitist or something... but oh, well, I'll use their free content!
The number of children medicated for ADD and ADHD is in the millions... If Sir Ken is right, we have located the Alcatraz for artists.

Nobody told me in my educational years how messed up the Industrial Revolution left us. Maybe because the educational system was fueled by it.
There is nothing to see here, nobody is any different from another, be a good consumer and then a good laborer, work for someone else, segregate your family with labor, separate men from women, be a machine, a cog in the system, a payer of social security, be spiritual as long as it doesn't mean anything... and be grateful. It's the American way in the brave new world!
