Nice quote there at the end:
Cloths of Heaven
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
- William Butler Yeats
Anyway, I completely agree with the guy's speech. Education as we know it is too full of memorizing useless facts and getting students to learn things they're not interested in at all. Because of the system, you get students who won't show any interest at all in what they're doing even if they may be the most talented people out there at doing other things.
