I really enjoyed the video we watched on you tube. I also agree with the fact that we are educating our children to become university professors who live in their heads. And don't get me wrong I know the world needs university professors - but we can't ALL be that way. we need to encourage children to be creative and innovative.

The interesting thing about kids is that they will take a chance, they aren't afraid to be wrong. and the older kids get the more they fear failure. and if we as learners and not prepare to be wrong, we'll never come up with anything original. we need to teach children that not only is failure acceptable but that you can learn from it.

we must not forget that children are the future, and we should educate the whole being for the future because we may or may not be there to witness it. we need to give kids the skills they need to help make make something of it.
