school versus creativity and talents


I can’t agree more about all what Sir Ken Robinson said. Creativity is as important in education as literacy and should be treated with the same status; such a statement shall be spread to those who prepare the education systems for children. Not everyone have the same abilities, some use their right side of their better than the left side, and others not. We can never know that if the first 12 years of the children education life was very concentrated in literacy.
Sir Robinson also said that if you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original! And that’s true, if we never fail we will never know how to deal with mistakes and succeed further.
One funny statement of Sir Ken Robinson was “Professors live in their heads and slightly to one side; they look into their bodies as a form of transport to their heads”. It reminds me of some  lecturers here in MMU .
