Creativity is the Answer

Sir Ken Robinson believes our educational system plays a role in diminishing creativity by promoting learning based solely on a critical and rational approach.

“There is a sense of futility built into our approach to the arts, which is why they are marginalized,” he said.

“We say to children, ‘Don’t do art. You’re not going to be an artist.’ Interestingly, we don’t say, ‘Don’t do math. You’re not going to be a mathematician.’
