Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity? (video) Gold Bookmark Top Rated Bookmark 

 

I saw this video at the 2008 MENC National Conference in Milwaukee.  His comments blew me away, and I highly suggest watching this video and sharing it with your administrators.  You can fast forward to the second section to get to the part that deals closely with music education or watch the whole thing for a heartfelt and humorous look at education.

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. With ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. The universality of his message is evidenced by its rampant popularity online. A typical review: "If you have not yet seen Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk, please stop whatever you're doing and watch it now."
