Very sad news, especially for the education community. RIP !
RIP to Sir Ken Robinson, an eloquent and indefatigable defender of the role of the arts and creativity in education. His TED talks made him world-famous—his presentation called "Do schools kill creativity?" remains the most popular TED talk of all time—and he wrote widely, including major books on creativity in 2001 and 2015. Robinson was knighted in 2003 for his distinguished career in service to the arts.
He was a staunch critic of standardized tests and compliance-based classrooms, and an unapologetic champion of every kind of creative endeavor—from theater, to music, film, painting, dance, and everything in between. He died yesterday after a brief battle with cancer. His voice will be greatly missed.

A little quote that is really important to remember. At the moment things are really tough, and sometimes it's easy to feel guilty and/or compare yourself to things you see online or on TV.
However, it is so important to remember this quote because you need time to rest, relax and just have some important down time. What selfcare things have you been doing during lockdown?
