Main Ideas:
Extraordinary evidence of human creativity
No idea of the future
Everyone has an interesting education, everyone cares about education
Children starting school today will retire in 2065 and we have no idea of what the world will be like. Children have tremendous talents and we squander them
Creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status
If your not prepared to be wrong then you aren't capable of being creative
Priority of schooling everywhere
1. Math
2. Humanities
3. Arts
Purpose of education to produce university professors, they live in their heads, and slightly to one side.
Prejudiced about educational ability
1. The most useful subect are at the top, school towards job
2. Academic ability
Next 30 years, more people graduating from education then all people through history
Degrees aren't worth anything now,
Intelligent
1. Diverse
2. Dynamic,
3. Distinct
Women are better at multitasking because the bond between the two different parts of the brain is thicker in women.
If a man speaks his mind in a forest and nobody hears it is he still wrong?
Education has mined our minds like we strip mine the earth for a particular metal
Children for the hope that they are. We wont see this future but they will.
