Came upon this talk today as I surfed the TED website. Schools kill creativity; an interesting idea and one that I find resonates with my own feelings about the education system.
Questions I came out with:
As a college student how do I challenge the system that declares "mistakes" to be wrong when I am (quite literally) buying into it?
Is there something about the structure of schools--a physical structure element; spending all day in a small room, seated at a desk, inside a cement building--that stifles our creativity? Would taking our learning somewhere else change the type of results?

I've wondered and have been wondering all the same things, let me tell you. Especially---considering my present place in life---this one which you phrased so well:
"As a college student how do I challenge the system that declares "mistakes" to be wrong when I am (quite literally) buying into it?"
I don't have any answers... but I'm wondering.
