Do schools kill creativity?

http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

Sir Ken Robinson on recognising all children's talents and skills, not just academia. How important it is to value doing that thing that makes time pass quickly; that gets you in "flow".
Why being a great dancer should be valued the same as being a great writer or mathematician.
And, most importantly, how terrible it is to crush that instinct of curiosity; that spark of joy in doing what you do best: kicking a ball, being a grease monkey, jamming on your guitar, doodling, arguing the toss...

Food for thought?
