He talks about how schools “kill” creativity. He examines the traditional schools in todays times and explains how many education institutions fail to recognize the importance of children’s creativity.</p>Djarum BlackThu, 04 Feb 2010 15:56:14 -0000http://www.montesecrets.com/2009/03/11/creativity-or-lack-of-in-schools/#comment-7157757<p>My mom had to watch this video for one of her assignments (she's taking an online course on "How to Open up a Montessori school"), and she had to watch this video. This guy is super awesome and I love his humor! I totally agree with you about schools going in the wrong direction. When I lived in FL, I was shocked to learn that elementary kids didn't get recess! Can you believe that? On top of that, they were assigned like 3 hours of homework every night! It's so sad! </p>MontesecretsThu, 12 Mar 2009 20:54:55 -0000http://www.montesecrets.com/2009/03/11/creativity-or-lack-of-in-schools/#comment-7149813<p>That was awesome. he is hysterical. It breaks my hearts to see schools cutting everything but reading, writing and math. I think schools are moving in the WRONG direction. So sad.</p>DanielleThu, 12 Mar 2009 15:09:43 -0000
