Creativity Expert

The book talks briefly about Sir Ken Robinson, calling him a "well-known creativity expert" (15).  If you have not watched his TED talk on "How Schools Kill Creativity" it is well worth the time.



He is entertaining, and very positive, despite the seemingly negative title.  He values both educators and students, and the possibilities for each.

One of the statements that stood out to me is "My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status."  

Do you agree with this statement?  Why or why not?  Share your thoughts here in the "Comments".
