The most important part was the part about education.

With the old fashioned way our educational system works we don't inspire kids enough to thrive. They don't find their talents if we keep feeding them information the way we do.
Access to information has disrupted so many different fields, but the schooling system stays behind. 

Of course there are initiatives which are promising and there are schools who embrace (new) technology.

Last weekend I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that one of the four teachers of the year 2014 was one who claimed an entire new class himself. Jasper Rijpma 'invented' his Big Thinker class. Philosophy for 12/13 year olds.

I've been annoyed, as you can read in the interview (if you can read Dutch) by the fact that so many courses are silo-ed in their approach. Why not educate Mathematics in German or combine them with Biology. Or maybe like Jasper his class; His students will learn part history, part Dutch Language and philosophy packaged in an interesting class.

My son Mika is not disinterested in reading entirely, but he totally loves great stories. It's pretty easy to figure out he does keep on reading a book if he wants to find out what happens next.

So many of the books he has to read focus too much on just the words and that doesn't challenge him at all.

Below you find a great TED talk by  Ken Robinson about how school kills creativity.
