Ken Robinson, TEDtalks

One of the first points that Ken Robinson made was that people are being educated toward unpredictable futures. The children in schools are supposed to become prepared for the future, but who knows what the world will be like or what to actually expect when they get out of school. 

Another interesting point is that children are born artists, and it is a struggle for them to maintain their artistic ability. I agree with this point. I feel that we live in a world where creativity is not always used to its full potential. A lot of people are too focused on the economic state of the world, ad too focused on money. With that mindset, creativity is often limited. Art forms are not often thought of as successful ways to earn a lot of money, so pursuing art is not often a path people take. Most people go to school to major in business or fields with the pursuit of finding 'good' jobs. This idea limits the creative mindset. 

Kids that do not do well in school or don't apply themselves in certain areas may be in the wrong direction in terms of what they are learning. Creativity should be encouraged in all aspects of education, within art classes and brought to other areas of study. Educators should provide students with the opportunities to find what they are good at and encourage them to follow that path.
