Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

I think i´ve seen this video before, a couple of years ago, and i still think he couldn´t be more right.
I mean, there´s a reason why most kids don't really like school, and why would they? Ok, you need to learn math and language, but the way they try to teach you does not motivate anyone to learn, i remember when i was in school, my friends and i used to make up songs to remember vocabulary lessons, and it was more useful and fun, i still remember some of them. And i think now, it's probably the reason why i enjoyed english more than other subjects, and the reason why i'm kind of good at it too, because they used songs, sherlock holmes books, illustrated stories, and of course, because of the music i listen to and the movies and tv shows i like. 
Now, even though i chose a career that it's kind of related to art, and you're suposed to be creative and everything, i feel like that part is left aside, because for some teachers it's more important selling an idea, making a client happy, instead of encouraging you to make something different and new, something that could be considered art even when it's also trying to convince you to do or buy an idea or things you don't need. 

I´ll leave you this video that my boss sent me, it's a beautiful way to show us that the way we comunicate things can make an important difference, that we can always take something and give it a spin and make it better.
