A great article on how we need to teach our children to create. I really like this quote drawn from the article:

Joan Almon, coordinator of the U.S. Alliance for Childhood, says she understands what an important role imagination can play — even in a government bureaucracy. “As Albert Einstein once said: ‘You can’t solve a problem with the same thinking that created the problem,”’ she said.

“Unfortunately, what we are doing today in education is de-emphasizing imagination. We are relying more and more on standardized tests, and we are emphasizing creativity less and less.”
