Escaping education's death valley while I escape on vacation 

  • comment(37)

By Maureen Downey

I am on vacation this week and, in the mode of my blogging AJC colleagues, am leaving you with a video. But it is not traveling music. It is a thought-provoking speech by Ken Robinson, who often speaks on the development of creativity, innovation and human resources in education.

Enjoy. See you in a few days.  (I will be checking in but have promised my kids that I will not be working this vacation.)
