Sir Ken Robinson’s beautiful TED talk. If you haven’t seen it yet, you simply must. Creativity, education, the meaning of life… there’s something for everyone in this profound, short, very funny presentation.

Key points (of agreement)

- Schools are still Victorian and basically work as very protracted preparation for university entrance.

- Professors, being the highest in the educational system, both lead and role model the system.

- They are heads on bodies, disconnected from the whole.

- We need to cultivate a fuller picture of what education is and can be.

- This must include the head and the heart and the body, even the spirit.

- The effective cultivation of creativity “adding value with original thinking” is essential to being human, at work, at play.

Three cheers for Ken. You are quite lovely and spot on with how you see things. I’m going to contact you right now and see if you want help with your new website. Do hope you’ll be blogging!
