Sir Ken Robinson 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."

Think about this ...

Dr. O’Connor was asked one if there was ever a person who did poorly in all the battery of tests. There are so many different tests that it would seem unlikely that there would be any human being who didn’t do well in one of them. But Dr. O’Connor laughed and said, “Oh, yes, there is a type of person who does badly in all the tests we offer. About one person in 8,000 is absolutely hopeless in all of the tests.” So he was asked, “What do you do about such a person?” Dr. O’Connor said, “Do? We don’t worry about him. He never presents us with a problem. He is usually the president of his firm or is self-employed.”
