The Death of Creativity

I recently watched a TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson, a strong believer that public school kills our creativity. He thinks that we are trained to be good workers, rather than creative individuals. I must agree with him on most counts, primarily because of the increase in class size. If there are 30 students in one class, the teacher has no time to work with one student for longer than another. They must constantly be moving, changing from one student to the next. In addition, I feel that many teachers may not recognize a gifted or inspired student unless a parent intervenes.
