Sir Ken Robinson

I found this video particularly interesting as we do often find that the Arts are the first subjects to go when courses need to be cut for a small school. By doing this, we are already limiting some of our students' interests. With regards to teaching mathematics, I believe that we should alow students to express their mathematics in creative ways. Let them show you what they know through pictures and stories or anything at all that allows them to be creative. We have to accept that fact that not all students were made to study quadratics and exponential equations, it's just too bad that the standardized testing does not allow for the students to be creative in their knowledge.
