Do schools kill creativity?

Mónica from 4S has sent me this interesting (and funny in places) video where creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson questions the way children are educated in our society. It's a bit long (20 minutes in all) but if you're interested in the subject, you'll enjoy it.

The subtitles aren't 100% reliable, but maybe you can catch the mistakes. ;)

I enjoyed it a lot and I agree with him. When I see a little child, they all have a great whish of learning and doing things, but several years after they have lost all the interest and the school doesnt offer them almost anything motivating, I wonder, what happend in the meanwhile? I think the main problem in education is the concept of education itself.
