The Creative Minority in Our Schools.
Whitson, Alex
Childhood Education, v71 n1 p2-3 Fall 1994
Noting that today's economic, social, and scientific problems require creative solutions, points out the need for creative talent. Discusses how current thinking and educational practices in this country do little to encourage the development of creative individuals. Suggests that concentrating on developing the potential of each individual would enhance the net worth of society as a whole. (TJQ)
