Creativity

[|What Sir Ken Got Wrong] Unwittingly, Sir Ken has stumbled on the very example that belies his idea that traditional schooling kills creativity. And this is true not just in the musical or artistic sphere, but the political sphere too. Nelson Mandela in South Africa and the Black Panthers in America turned their traditional education to radically revolutionary aims. Sir Ken’s ideas aren’t just impractical; they are undesirable. Here’s the trouble with his arguments: 1. Talent, creativity and intelligence are not **__innate__**, but come through **__practice.__** 2. Learning styles and **multiple intelligences** don’t exist. 3. **Literacy** and **numeracy** are the basis for **creativity**. 4. **Misbehaviour** is a bigger problem in our schools than **conformity**. 5. **Academic achievement** is vital but unequal, partly because… 6. Rich kids get rich cultural knowledge, poor kids don’t.
 * Schools can foster talent**
 * How is he wrong?**
