The forest for the trees

I wonder what Sir Ken (Robinson) would say about this?

It seems to me that this sort of thing happens far more often than we might think. So many kids think different, or on scales that are not obvious to adults that there are likely at least one of these in every grade level in every school. In defense of the teachers, who are pushed by standardization and deadlines, they don’t have time to think beyond “is student doing X”. If we all had a little more time, we might be able to see some of these creative geniuses for what they are rather than trying to “understand the problem”.
