After watching Ken Robinson's talk on How Schools Kill Creativity, the parents of 13-year-old Logan LaPlante removed their son from the traditional education system. For the past four years, Logan LaPlante has been "hacking his education" and learning everything on his own.

Parents love asking kids what they want to be when they grow up. The traditional answers: doctor, pro athlete, fireman, etc. Logan's answer? Happy and healthy.

With this, he asks an obvious question: Why is being happy and healthy not taught in today's schools?

Watch his TED talk to hear how he intends on achieving his life goals.
