Val, I read the article. Gives new meaning to why schools should rethink how they are educating children. Why the ARTS are important in every school. People who are capable of generating creative ideas, generate a lot of MONEY. Invent, design, and change the world because of their vision and imagination.
Yes, I agree completely.
I think the schools also need to rethink the wisdom of relying on multiple choice tests. These tests encourage memorization and little else. They also don't encourage students to synthesize knowledge or look at what they're learning in new or different ways.
