His message is that creativity should be valued as a critical skill in our school systems. It is not really a priority. Why not? If we are committed to preparing our children for the future in the 21st century, which we have identified as largely unknowable and highly different from the decades of the 50s, 60s, 70, and 80s, then why is it so crazy an idea that our educational systems need to rethink themselves?
One's capacity for imagination and creativity is fundamental to our future, as individuals and as schools.
