Do schools kill creativity?

Hi!

This is a very interesting TED talk given by Sir Ken Robinson. The question whether schools kill creativity or not is an exciting way to trigger debate among students, teachers and, why not, parents.

"In Sir Ken Robinson's 2006 speech at the Ted conference in California entitled ‘Do schools kill creativity’, he is critical of the current system of education in the United States. He asserts that it has for too long wrongly rewarded students for a very exclusive and limiting set of skills and for the future it will not service. He accuses the current system of ruthlessly squandering the creative potential of children. He puts forward the case that in this new era of information technology, creativity will become as important as literacy and we should treat it with the same status."

This question has travelled around the world. What do you think about it? What would you do to reverse this?
