ken robinson on creativity in schools

i happened to stumble upon this great site while surfing and found a series of wonderful 21 minute lectures on a vast range of topics.  i particularly like this one by Ken Robinson on how schools are responsible for people unlearning creativity, that all children are born creative and that it is public education is responsible for making them unlearn creativity.

i found this lecture not only entertaining (full of English wit) but also points out the obvious --- really, what is it really this thing that we call "education"?
