The Richness of Human Capacity [Productivity in Context]
I can’t believe I just found this:
Why don’t we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it’s because we’ve been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies — far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity — are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences.
“We are educating people out of their creativity,” Robinson says. It’s a message with deep resonance. Robinson’s TEDTalk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? “Everyone should watch this.”
My own creativity was stomped out of me as a grade-schooler. I know exactly when it happened, too.
5th Grade. Mr. Phillips’ class, “Stephen, you will stop drawing and pay attention! Do you want to stay after school again?”
Well, the joke is on you Mr. Phillips, because today, the things that I create get seen by people all over the world.
