  2. Thanks for checking it out Sukhvinder. We'll explore it together in class, pick it apart and see what rings true with you guys, and where you disagree. I agree with Sir Ken in many respects, but in my heart of hearts I hope schools don't "kill" creativity, or at least lets figure out how to save it
