How modern school kills creativity.

Not precisely related to Macs, but given Steve's passing, and the way he impacted my life, I find this video à propos just what I've been thinking about all week. Worth the watch, very well done.

I have enjoyed these animations every time I see a new one.

An interesting thing is some people with ADHD are very divergent thinkers and it seems his argument is that they are drugged to stop that process so they will be good little drones taking NCLB tests. As you go further East, the school districts are generally older, I wonder how that factors in.

I'd actually like to find the guy doing these drawn animations and find out if he'd be open to a project my company is doing. He makes the points so clear, and in an obvious fun method.

I think a lot of his points are very valid.

does this guy have a podcast?

RSA Animate does them. They're a group in London. In your example above they used a recorded speech Ken Robinson did.
