"The Importance of Creativity" by Sir Ken Robinson on http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html website was a great video clip.  He discusses how schools have gotten away from creativity.  He even states, "Schools kill creativity."  This is another sad but true video.  He brings to light that schools today do not encourage originality in activities.  I agree with him on this.  I wish I would have been encouraged to be more creative and original in my school work when I was still in school.  Creativity and originality are important skills to carry out into the real world.  He also states, "Mistakes are not appropriate in schools today." This is so true, even though mistakes are a great way to learn and be creative.  He really concentrates on how schools discourage students from being original and creative in their thinking.

Sir Ken Robinson also discusses in this video how all around the world the arts are at the bottom of the pole in education.  The arts come behind mathematics, language arts, sciences, and history.  All of these subjects are very important in the schools, but liberal arts also need to be an important area.  Liberal arts provide students to be active, creative, and original rather than just concentrate on academics all day every day.  Liberal arts also do provide jobs in the real world, which is another reason they should have more focus on them in the schools.
