Sir Ken Robison makes several excellent points about the talents of children and the deficiencies of our educational system. Education, he suggests, educates creativity right out of children.

An article in The Guardian: "Fertile Minds Need Feeding."
"Transform Education? Yes, We Must." by Robinson
The Learning Revolution.
Some great quotes from his talk:
Life is not linear, it's organic...so is learning.
A three year old is not half a six year old.
Paraphrased here...
Human flourishing is an organic, not mechanical, process.
We should tread softly around children's dreams.
And a Lincoln quote. (1862)
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew,. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." -Abraham Lincoln
