Ken Robinson wants you to dilute academics in favor of creativity. Don't do it.
Ken Robinson wants to create a creativity curriculum, and downgrade "academics." By academics Robinson and his supporters mean all the things that schools traditionally taught, such as reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Don't Just Learn - Overlearn by Annie Murphy-Paul
Don't just learn—overlearn
"Why do I have to keep practicing? I know it already!”
That’s the familiar wail of a child seated at the piano or in front of the multiplication table (or, for that matter, of an adult taking a tennis lesson). Cognitive science has a persuasive retort: We don’t just need to learn a task in order to perform it well; we need to overlearn it. Decades of research have shown that superior performance requires practicing beyond the point of mastery. The… Continue
