Ken Robinson of TED on creativity

You know, when I listen to leaders such as Sir Robinson, I’m tempted to throw out all of our “school books”, pick a topic, and just sit down with my kids and Google. I’m not sure I have the balls to do that just yet. However, my new goal this week is to encourage my children to pick a topic or two or three on anything they find interesting or what we’ve talked about in our studies, and let them search more about those subjects. We do this periodically, but I’m thinking that periodically is not enough. The potential for their minds is so great, I don’t want to extinguish that. It’s 1:30 in the morning. I really need to go to bed.
