Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity | Video on TED.com.

Ken Robinson makes many well put points about our education system and cultivating creativity.  Enjoy.

This got edited out of a poem that was inspired by this presentation:

We are all born creative
but through conventional education
the burn of imagination is stifled and it dies.
So I say to everyone,
pick up your tool before it’s too late
and shine.

Really, What Do You Know ‘Bout Me?

FIRST! Thank you for coming to the site.

Currently, I’m building my about section, and I’m doing it in a Q and A format. Already I answered questions about me, poetry, the site and so on, BUT…there is always that one question that is always missed.

That’s where I need your help.

What questions do you want answered? First about this site, and after that, get as crazy as you want.  Ask what you always wanted to, but never thought I’d really answer. Now I’m not saying I’ll answer it.  I’m just saying, you never know, so ask.  You may be surprised.

Remember what they told you in grade school,

“There are no stupid questions…but there are stupid people who ask really silly questions. Don’t be one of them.”~ A Really Bad Teacher

Yeah, I didn’t go to a very good grade school.

So drop a question in the comments below, and look for a reply. It just may end up on the about page.

And remember…

“the Word is Love, Spread the Word”

A friend told me, “Now you better keep this one on point Marcus”. I said, “I kind of have to, it’s my name! Well, this is a post to let you know things are still cooking in the back and soon we’ll bring out the savory poetry. Hold on tight, and you won’t you starve much longer. Thanks.
