Thoughts on Sir Ken's Creativity Talk

-unpredictability of what the world will be like in 5, 10, 15 years__how do we prepare children for this?

-children innately have creativity, curiosity, fearlessness...how do we evoke/harness these qualities in adults?

-
Hierarchy of subjects in education:
top - math, lang
humanities
arts
art and music
drama and dance
-the most useful subjects are those geared towards work...is this what the goal of education is?
-the system of public education is geared towards university entrance
-academics, academic inflation

-Intelligence is interactive (brain isn't divided into compartments)...this is how the space should be as well
-educating the whole being
