In his amazing TED Talk, entitled, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”, Sir Ken Robinson tells the story of going to see his son in the play A Nativity Scene. When the three wisemen appear (three costumed young boys), they deliver their lines with only the interpretation that youngsters can deliver. There are no ‘rights’ and no [...]
