Adora Svitak is a 14 year old prolific story writer and she's talking in front of thousands at TED... just another bridge between how adults can not only teach kids, but more importantly learn from them. In her presentation, Adora explains the childish ways of the adult world (war games, george bush, etc.) and the amazing things kids have done (raised money for haiti, helped in the civil rights movement, etc.). Its the design of our culture that is misrepresenting. Children dream bigger without knowing limits... this challenges the world, creating much more progression when dreams actually are accomplished. Maybe our education system can learn from this?
