« SMU Summer Camp for Teens :: More Education Spending Does NOT Equal Higher Student Achievement »A careful reading of the blog posts on this page and on the pages of many of our owners will reveal that we, as a group are deeply concerned with the education trends in this country and how, as a culture, we seem determined to teach the creativity, individualism, and genius out of our children. This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin Franklin award who brilliantly touches on these issues. For more information on Sir Ken's work and to learn about his current best selling books, The Element and Out of Our Minds, you can visit his site here.
