With education today, we are definitely moving toward the idea that all eight intelligences need to be reached out to in the classroom. Students need to be able to express themselves and have the opportunity to learn in the best way that suites them. There is not just one way to learn and to express meaning. I believe Ken is trying to emphasize the importance of these intelligences so that students have the opportunity to succeed.

12- Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity.
In Ken Robinson's video he states that "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." Why kill students creativity by steering them away from the arts, drama, music, or dance. Ken Robinson believes that we have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children. He feels as though creativity is of the same importance as literacy and we should treat it as much. At the bottom of education is the arts in all countries education systems. He expresses that we can't afford to not stigmatize or devalue the brilliancy of the creativity in students.
