“I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology, one in which we start to reconstitute our conception of the richness of human capacity. Our education system has mined our minds in the way that we strip-mine the earth – for a particular commodity – and for the future, it won’t serve us.”
Sir Ken Robinson, English educator and author, in his well-known address to the TED conference. www.ted.com/index.php/…/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html
