Education Should Nurture Creativity

Enjoy this video.  It's a thoughtful presentation with a good amount of humor.  I do support Sir Robinson's ideas and I propose an economic argument for why it's important to nurture creativity in our schools.  Having lived and worked aboard, I discovered the importance of creativity in providing a competitive advantage over our rising international competitors (China and India), where their education systems tend to focus on rote-learning.  Students deserve an education rooted in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity/design.
