Creativity in Schools

While meandering through some of the most watched TED talks, and having my history of creativity class still going through my mind from last semester, this talk was rather stunning. It brings to light the changing social stereotypes for kids (mostly). During one class period, it was discussed whither the public school system prohibits creativity. So then what is more important? Creativity or kids only doing what they are told in a mainstream world?
Watch the following video and decide for yourself.


I'll post my thoughts a little later.
