Sir Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity
I can’t believe I didn’t think to post this before. The video has been around for years and years from TED, but the important messages about the diversity of intelligence and the importance of creativity are relevant now…maybe always.

I haven’t seen “Frontline” in a long time, and I missed most of tonight’s show, but what I caught is worth sharing. The segment Pakistan: The Lost Generation reports on the disturbing condition of Pakistan’s public education system and the anti-western viewpoints spreading through it.
The piece is worth a view not just because Pakistan is currently so important to the world’s battle against extremism and terrorism. From 2010-2014, the US will give Pakistan $7.5 billion to invest in health care, education, social services, and other humanitarian efforts (more detail here). That is a lot of aid, but a fire hose of money does not guarantee results, especially when the starting point appears to be so horrifyingly bleak.
