- Everyone has an interesting education
- we're invested in our education, it's our future
- unpredictability of what education is going to be like in the future
- all kids have talents but we squash them
- creativity is as important as literacy in education, treat it with the same status
- children are not frightened of being wrong; if you are prepared to be wrong you will not have anything original
- we stigmatize mistakes
- we are "educating people out of their creativity"
- we are born artists and we grow out of it; the goal is to stay an artist
- Every education system has same hierarchy: Math/English, Humanities, then Arts.
- What is education for? Who are the winners at the end? Goal is the university professors - they are the ones who come out on top.
- Stayed away from subjects you like because you think you won't get a job doing it. (i.e. You like music, but you won't be a musician, etc.)
- Brilliant, Creative people don't think they are because they failed at school.
- Degrees are essentially becoming worthless; degree inflation. Now need a masters, or Ph.D to get a job, not just an undergrad degree
- Creativity comes about through interdisciplinary way of thinking about things
- corpus collosum is thicker in woman - better at multitasking
- we should adopt a new conception of human ecology; we need to rethink they fundamental principles in which we education our children; we are over-mining our mind.
- We need to educate our children's whole being
