on Poverty, Education and Creativity - topic for April 3rd

Lately I can't stop wondering about world poverty, which lead to the others issues. The article and clips are not new, but I don't see that the knowledge is outdated:

• Is Education the Cure for Poverty
• if too much Schools Kills Creativities
• What is Creativities anyway?
  

I tried to find some answers on the internet. But I believe both of you might have a different point of view.

1. Do you think higher education is equal to higher income?
2. Why do you think higly educated people tends to live inside an ivory tower?
3. The article wrote that "Education is a supply-side policy; it improves the quality of workers, not the quality or the quantity of jobs." If the job available is only the labor jobs, will do you still think we still need to invest on education?
4. Do you agree with Ken Robinson, that schools kills creativity?
5. Don't you agree that, dancing or performing or art profession in general can't feed you well?
6. Did you ever experience Muse, god of inspire, was sneaking around you like what Elizabeth Gilbert said?
7. Beside art and technology, caould you think of other fields that need creativities? Do you think creativity is needed for simply running our daily life?
