For most of us the problem isn’t that we aim too high and fail - it’s just the opposite - we aim too low and succeed. - Ken Robinson

Human communities depend upon a diversity of talent, not a single conception of ability. At the heart of the challenge is to reconstitute our sense of ability and of intelligence.

Whoever thought of the No Child Left Behind legislation and its title certainly understands irony because millions of our children are indeed being left behind. This standardized testing is making the job of teachers unnecessarily difficult, limiting the discretion of teachers to teach. School systems are imposing conformity instead of promoting creativity.

It is my contention that Creativity is as important today in Education as Literacy and we should treat it with the same status.
