TED Talks Ken Robinson- says schools kill creativity

Ken Robinson is a very strong speaker and very comical which helps keeps your interest through his talk. His whole discussion was about how he feels that education pulls people away from the creativity that they were born with. He mentions that Picasso had said " all children are born artist". That creativity that all children are born with is forced out of them through education. Why are classes such as dance, theater, and sculpture not mandatory opposed to a class such as math or science in public education. Why hold so tight to certain teachings when no one knows what is gong to happen 10 years from now. We learn things for a "future we can't grasp" and " can't predict what the future is going to be like but expected to be educated for it".  I agree with Ken on his argument, the arts should be treated as important as things such as the sciences and such because it opens a whole creative side. Opening up this side in your brain will help you excel in other things and may help one tackle obstacles in a different way then they would have before. So I too believe Ken when he says "Creativity is as important as literacy".
