Ted lecture notes

He points out the unpredictability of the future and that we are supposed to educated for it
How we squish children's talents
all children are born artist and the challenge is to stay an artist when you grow up
thinks that dance is just important as math

My thoughts about school killing creativity is yes it dose. It encourages it till maybe the 3rd grade but after that no. As a student you may have one or two art or music classes a week after 3rd grade and that is it. it becomes all about spelling and math and English. I think it should be encouraged more. Encouraging art and music builds creativity. this is something the world needs more of. Schools focus so much on what kids need for the future and in reality we don't know what the future will look like or what they will need. Every student should be allowed to do what they want with in reason. This would allow for everyone to pick there own path and discover ones true self. Schools aren't totally meaning to squish creativity but they don't have the funds. I think more money need to be invested in schools and education then we down now. Its our country's future that is having funding cut and everyone is going to suffer in the long run.
