Here are a few ideas to get started. Please add some of your own. Value the things that can't easily be quantified. Encourage inquisitive minds. Creating any work of art is a constantly evolving series of questions leading to the finished piece.
Real science works the same way, too.
As the pace of change in our world increases, learning to ask good questions will be more relevant than an inert list of memorized answers. Lincoln and Douglas debated eloquently for hours, without notes and teleprompters. Humpback whales commit complex 30 minute songs to memory. Once people told Beowulf by heart, listened to entire symphonies and recited Shakespeare. Let the arts reclaim more of our young people's minds than just a sound bite or jingle.
