Sir Ken Robinson discusses how our modern educational system can kill creativity. Most children are educated in the same way they have been for the past 100 years. Generally the norm is for students sit in a class and listen to a lecture by the teacher and then are expected to prove that they learned what they were supposed to by answering sets of multiple choice questions. Instead of learning to optimize their individual gifts, schools often makes kids into generalists who are good at everything, but not great at anything. Robinson also argues that students are taught to avoid risk because they are afraid to make mistakes.
