In the mood to feel excited about the education system?Salman Khan
My favorite talk ever. Bill Gates comes on at the end and calls his method the "future of education." If you like data/engineering, you're especially likely to fall in love this this video.
In the mood to reconsider how society treats creativity? Elizabeth Gilbert
Another classic, the top talk for people interested in writing/the arts. Basically, we pressure artists in subtle and unfair ways with our modern conception of what it means to be a 'genius.'
In the mood to laugh and also reflect on how schools work and don't?Ken Robinson
Another classic TED talk, Robinson discusses the importance of creativity. The talk is both charming and deeply thoughtful.

How imperious of Mr. Gates to make declarations on public policy for us.
