The human intelligence is much richer than we have been led to believe by industrial/academic education
Human intelligence includes and goes well beyond conventional conceptions of academic ability and IQ
"There is a vitality , a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost" -Martha Graham

Reforms are created to improving the existing system
Educational system wants to raise standards and give educational access to everyone
Education is not an impartial process of develoing people's natural abilities

A bright mind can create
Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness

Imagination liberates us from our immediate circumstances and holds the constant possibility of transforming the future
Creativity is doing something and it is a step futher than imagination
Creativity involves putting your imagination to work
Innovation is applied creativity
To use all three can beneficial
