On the Huffington Post, Gregg Behr, executive director of The Grable Foundation, makes the case for cultivating all kids' creativity and their ability to solve problems we can't even imagine today. He describes the work of the Pittsburgh Kids+Creativity Network by writing, "While still building kids' skills in the tried-and-true subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic, today's innovators -- like those in the Kids+Creativity Network -- are simultaneously attending to learning that helps kids develop critical thinking, tenacity, and resourcefulness. They're thinking more like the Jetsons and less like the Flintstones."
