Ken Robinson
If all you had was academic ability, you wouldn't have been able to get out of bed this morning. In fact, there wouldn't have been a bad to get out of. No one could have made one. You could have written about possibility of one, but not have constructed it.
Ken Robinson
You can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them.
Ken Robinson
Everyday, everywhere our children spread their dreams beneath our feet and we should tread softly.
Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson
We have sold ourselves into a fast food model of education, and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.
Ken Robinson
The gardener does not make a plant grow. The job of a gardener is to create optimal conditions for growth
Ken Robinson
If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. Children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition, they're suffering from childhood.
Ken Robinson
Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.
Ken Robinson
The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued.
Ken Robinson
Transforming education is not easy but the price of failure is more than we can afford, while the benefits of success are more than we can imagine.
Ken Robinson
Human resources are like natural resources they're often buried deep You have to go looking for them they're not just lying around on the surface You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.
Ken Robinson
There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?
Ken Robinson
School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.
Ken Robinson
All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.
Ken Robinson
It is difficult to feel accomplished when you're not accomplishing something that matters to you. Doing something 'for your own good' is rarely for your own good if it causes you to be less than who you really are.
