Ken Robinson made some very good points about why he thinks schools kill creativity in his speech. He believes that creativity is as important in education as literacy. He also believes that if you ar enot prepared to be wrong then you will never come up with anything original and by the time they are adults most kids have lost that capacity because they have become frightened of being wrong. We are now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst things you can make.
Picasso once said "All children are born artists." Ken believes we do not grow into creativity but we grow out of it. Growing up, children are constantly discouraged of creative dreams so naturally they begin to block it out in order to be accepted by teachers, parents, and their peers.
I agree with Ken because children are extremely creative and they automatically think outside the box. Most of the people that changed history were obviously leaders and took risks. They all obviously came up with original ideas with the possibility of being wrong. We are a better place because those people took the risk. I believe creativity builds character as well as helps a child discover who they are, which they can't do when learning math or science.
