As I watch my girls grow and navigate the school system, it strikes me that today’s education is lacking in actually helping our kids grow into healthy adulthood. But this isn’t a new topic.

Today’s clip of Ken Robinson, pulled from a talk nearly 20 years old, shows that he seems to feel the same way. He points out the unpredictability of the future, even though we educate our kids as though we know exactly what the world will hold for them. Instead, we need to create space for them to use their unique gifts and authentically be themselves.
