Sir Ken Robison is an internationally recognized (and charismatic) leader in the development of human recourses. His talk "Do Schools Kill Creativity?” says that the great majority of present educative systems don’t support the artistic will and creativity of students. He explains that those aspects are sacrificed to give importance to a deeper formation in matters than presumably are going to benefit students to find a “normal" job. This sacrifice, according to Robinson, kills the creativity of the majority of students of educative system. Just a few, those who have a tenacious aptitude for arts, end up developing their talents until turning them into their work.

I agree with Robinson’s opinion and I think that the theory of multiple intelligences (that intelligence, particularly as it is traditionally defined, doesn’t sufficiently include the variety of abilities humans display) would have to be considered by the educative systems. In my opinion, these systems would have to give more importance to creativity and to the other nonacademic talents (as the artistic ones). I also think that the Chilean Ministry of Education would have to give more importance to sports.
