Wednesday thought: Sir Ken Robinson

Hello gentle readers, as you know I am a teacher and after my family it is probably one of the most important things in my life.

Everyone has heroes. Some may be actors, singers, sports stars or political figures. My educational hero however is Sir Ken Robinson.

Born in 1950, he turns 70 today, he has been at the centre of educational reform in the UK and globally.

Here are some great inspieational quotes.

If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.

Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they're not - because the thing they were good at at school wasn't valued, or was actually stigmatized.

All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.

Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests.
