Creativity for School KIds- respone to Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talk- Period 2

Creativity is an important thing for children in public schooling systems to have. It is one of the things that can make or break a child, I would know that. Sir Ken Robinson gave a compelling TED talk on the subject. Public schooling systems crushing creativity was what mattered to sir Ken Robinson. He portrayed his point in a very effective way, by adding real examples and quite a bit of humor, both of those aspects help send across the point that children need creativity. It mattered to Sir Robinson because he knows that all children can be successful but some never get the chance to let their minds grow and think of new ideas. This topic has a great impact on me and my family. My brother who was never a social kid had a hard time making friends could never find a way to fit in; these issues resulted in him coming down with depression. It wasn't until he was forced to play and instrument that he found what he was good at and loved. He started playing the bass in the school orchestra and has been for 7 years; he has since made new friends, joined a band, and overcame depression. If it hadn't been for my brother taping into his creative side he probably would not be here right now. I know it has always been said that children being exposed to the arts is important but no one really realizes how important until something happens close to home. Sir Ken Robinson made his point to let children be creative in school; it matters for the future. If Children are not allowed to think freely, nobody will be able to create solutions to the problems that are bound to come up in the future.
