I just watched this great TED Talk given by twelve years old Adora Svitak and all I can say is, WOW! In the engaging talk Adora talks about why the world needs more “childish thinking,” and why teachers don’t let students teach them often enough. Watch it, it could be the best eight minutes of your day.
