He was interesting to listen to. He approached the subject of creativity and put creativity in his speech with comedy. I agree with him that it is important to let and encourage students to have creativity. He says that in the educational systems subjects such as math is taken more seriously than dance. I agree with him that this should not be the case. Students should not be shown that one subject is "better" than another, especially if they have a higher interest in the subject not taken as seriously.
He talks of highly brilliant and smart individuals thinking they are not, because their subject was not taking seriously. He also talks about people needing to rethink their view of intelligence. I believe this is true. Everyone is not interested in the same things. One person can be knowledge in somethings and not know anything about another. This does not mean the person is not intelligent. I think teachers should think about this when it comes to there students, and help lead them in there interests, even if it is a subject that is viewed as less important. It is important to help the students in what interest them and to help them be successful in what interest them, instead of guiding them away from it.
