Closing the global education divide one teacher at a time
Do schools kill creativity?
This is an excellent video that questions current systems of schools across the globe in terms of how low they rank creative subjects to the core subjects, such as math, science and language. Why is that we do not treat arts as equally important?

I especially like the point that Sir Ken Robinson makes about "kids who have to move to think" and being once one of those kids myself, I really the feel his message in this video.
