This talk could be much shorter but it's bearable because Robinson is very entertaining. The topic is one that is close to my heart. Kids do become "scared to be wrong" this leads to adults that are also scared to fail. Piccaso's statement that all kids are born artists, they just grow out of it is right on.

He's hilarious, but manages to mostly keep it from hampering what he's trying to say. I think a bit of humour goes a long way in lectures if it doesn't go over the top; it gets people to enjoy it all the more.
I suppose it's a huge problem that schooling today often serves as a kind of "one size fits all" approach to education; you go into the machine at an early age and are subject to the same teaching as everyone else, which has obvious implications for the diversity of human intellects.

The "one size fits all" approach is addressed in a post on here by Kuli. It's a talk by Salmon Khan, if you haven't watched it yet, I suggest checking it out. It's what lead me to this talk. http://hubski.com/pub?id=1911
Sir Ken Robinson talks are always a treat. Here's another one he gave at the L.A. Public Library. It's really funny AND it's an hour and a half long. Yay. http://j.mp/pnNLM4
