A couple interesting videos going around... At last year's TED conference, Ken Robinson suggested that people are born creative but have their creativity sucked out by an education system that's wrongly focused on right answers. He asserts academia is designed in its own image and perpetuates a narrow value set that no longer adequately prepares students for the future.
(Just consider the enormous extent to which our society has invested in the SAT, how it's scored, and how it's used.) Since technology and innovation depend on original ideas, Robinson urges us to create an education system that fosters divergent thinking and facilitates the success of those with creative talents. We only need to look to these notable college drop-outs to see the need for creativity and risk-taking.
