Out of our minds - Just getting started

Yeah! I have started reading this book finally and find it hard to put down.

Ken Robinson establishes that the major theme of the book is developing people's natural talents and abilities right there on page 20.

As I sat in on the Parent/Senior meeting with my daughter I was happy to know that she had met all requirements for the "Walk" but saddened to hear that the school will not allow those kids that failed the WASL test requirements to walk with their classmates. It has begun. I don't know how many of the class of 2008 will not graduate based on this academic requirement and as I read Sir Kens words I wonder if this first group of seniors that failed to meet the requirements will be able to continue on a positive course, what will they be doing next year? in five years? What creative mind has been shut down before it even found the medium of it's desire?
