Do schools kill creativity?

Sir Ken Robinson is an educationalist with some interesting insights into the issues behind modern day eduction systems. He claims that modern day schooling stunts creativity by putting an emphasis on the more 'academic' subjects like maths, science and english, rather than the 'creative' subjects like dance, drama and art. 
This week I've been taking part in Design Academy, a programme that instills design strategies into students so they can theoretically tackle any problem, regardless of their existing knowledge on the topic, because they know how to use design to work around the issue. Creativity is apparently the biggest skill set that employers now look for in their applicants because it allows them to problem solve more effectively and think more laterally. Whereas, Sir Ken Robinson says that our current schooling is formed on the premise that we will need skills in maths, literacy and science because it is based on an out-dated model of industry from the Victorian era. 

These three talks highlight both Ken's ideas about education, and the benefits of being a 'multipotentialite' rather than a specialist (something that most schools do not currently embrace).
