I agree with what hes saying which can be difficult because i'm not out of school yet but it makes sense because when a teacher says to write an essay i feel like there is always a but. for example i feel like they say write an essay on whatever you want but it has to fall under on of these three categories. Or just how we have to all read the same book and write about the same book that is not interesting to everyone who reads it. We lose our creativity because everyone is told not to do this and that but we can not do other stuff. We are told to grow up and do something that will make a lot of money not something that will make you happy. -Sam Butler
I think that creativity is super important in school. I agree that if we don't live in creativity we grow out of it. I think that if there is no creativity in school then you are learning to be a plain person, if there is creativity, your life and your school life could be much happier and brighter. Creativity makes everything around you better, especially in school. In my opinion, I think that if there is no creativity in school, then how are you really learning? I have to wonder, why do some people think that creativity should not belong in school?

He says that public education is something to produce collage professors. As well as that even if you are creative in one subject, it does not matter if it is not valued by school or employers.
This is true and it is why the school system is flawed.
I think that in "Schools Killing Creativity" when the speaker said that teaching kids to use your creativity is better than teaching them literature. I think this is true because if someone has a talent at hockey, it is not there top priority to learn how to write literature but to use there time to follow what they like and get better at what they like so later on in life they could have a job that they like so they live being happy and not live being restricted by their job to not be able to be creative and use that to do what they want.
I can agree with some things he says even though I have not graduated school i think creativity is just as important as math and english. You can not be creative if some teachers limit what you have to say and what you can do. If schools limit these things there's gonna be no unique people it would just be a bland world full of bland people.
Sir Ken Robinson has some good points and I would agree with some if not most of them but one thing I noticed is that he never really talked about the positive impact that telling us that wrong answers is bad. In life if you get something wrong then you can't just go on a think you did really good. If you get something wrong you should take it and move to get better at it. I do agree with the fact that schools teach mathematics more important than other activities like music and gym. I think that they are both important and both should be thought like they are both important.

I agree that school kills creativity. I think school stops us from doing what we want or at least gives off limitations. We lose creativity because we can't express it or see others, which causes us to grow out of it. There is rarely ever positive impact on the students or the school which isn't good because you can't teach creativity.
I agree with what Ken said wholeheartedly. I think that even the most progressive schools don't focus on creativity. If everyone focused on what made them happy or what worked for them people would be much happier. Ken also said that the people who are educating these kids are not going to see what future they are influencing these kids to create, but those kids will.
when he says if your not afraid of being wrong, you won't be creative. children aren't afraid of being wrong which is why they are always thought of being creative and why they are curious at the beginning of education he says if you had a degree you had a job but now if you have a degree you can do what you want. if we are doing some of the things we like in school would more people have more jobs. everybody is different and we all need to learn differently or we need to be doing stuff outside of school. and I agree when he was talking about how the dancer was so successful. and that is how we should learn.

I think that in school creativity is essential. I think this because if you are not taught or have experienced being creative then you will be a very bland person. This also goes on to your thoughts. Your thoughts will also be less varietied because of a lack of creativity. In conclusion, I think that creativity is very important and should be valued in school.
I agree with what Ken said. If everyone focused on what made them happy or what worked for them people would be much happier. We lose creativity because we can't express it or see others, which causes us to grow out of it. We are told to grow up and do something that will make a lot of money not something that will make you happy. School stops us from doing what we want or at least gives off limitations. If you get something wrong you should take it and move to get better at it. School teaches English and math more than other activities like music and gym. I think that they are all important and all of them should be taught like they are important.
I agree that the modern education system kills creativity. Each kid is special in one way or another and school treats the students as if they all were the same. Ken talked about how back when he was young that if you had a diploma you have a job, now it is much harder to find a job now. Kids in school now are fearful to make mistakes and the effect of that is not learning as much because they are worried about making mistakes.
I agree with the things he says. Especially school killing creativity because it's really important to express yourselfand self expression as a teenage is one of the most important things. But in school your told to do this and do than you you are hardly give time time express your ideas and yourself. School is also a really negative place sometimes it's hard to be creative and motivated with you are such a negative place.
I agree with a few things that Ken said but I also think school is necessary. I really liked how he talked about how we are so scared to make mistakes we don't have original ideas therefor our creativity is tanked. I think it is very important to not grow out of our creativity but I think that is a more personal thing rather than something schools are affecting. When he talked about how we only study certain subjects that made me think because that is something I have never thought about sense it just seems so normal. I could see how only studying the core subjects could take away a lot of creativity.
He made a great point about how now when in school, making mistakes are seen and taught as a bad thing. Sure teachers will tell us that making mistakes is ok, but just that wont change the mindset that we were taught at such a young age. He connected this to our creativity and how without mistakes, creativity doesn't exist and it will start limiting your creative ability. school also limits our ability. as someone who isn't great at a certain subject or is passionate about a subject its hard to figure out what I want to do in the future, when we have limited oppurtunities from such a young age. -Ella r
I think that what Ken said is accurate because there are lots of talents that other may not know about somebody but everyone is put in the same system of doing the same subjects for many years and it doesn't allow for people to discover new things about themselves. Sir Ken talking about the girl with adcd that developed to be a good dancer shows that there may be things that even yourself might not know about yet that could eventually become something evolutionarily. Everyone is unique which means that every single person has different talents with could allow for more growth all together for the community. The more creativity put in the community could allow for even more creative things to be inputted in the world.

I agree with him, there is a lot of truth to what he says. We are still in a system that was designed for an era we have moved out of long ago. There is little value in creative reliefs, only value in doing well in the main subjects that will "give" you a future. Many people don't get to chose to what they enjoy because it goes against the system. The people that do well are the same people who's calling is what is designed by the system, otherwise peoples creative is mostly killed and they never get to realize their true identity/passion.
Ember Kopperman
I agree with what Ken said. Learning the same thing over and over again doesn't help someone with figuring out who they are. Sophisticated math doesn't help a future actor act. Social studies doesn't help a shoe maker. Many people don't even get to choose what they are because that's not what the system wants. They system helps people stay in check, sure, but it doesn't help people be their real selves. Sometimes the things that look good on the surface can be destroyed beneath.
I left my response before but forgot to include my name.

Fantastic blog! What advise do you give for aspiring writers?
I plan to create my profile soon, however I am a bit
lost in total. Would you propose starting with
a free platform like WordPress, or should you go for the premium option?
There are so many alternatives that I am absolutely overwhelmed.
Any recommendations? Many thanks!
