Do Schools Kill Creativity?
Sir Ken's presentation cracked me up and made me think. Human creativity...What's going to happen in the
future?...education goes deep with people....children have extraordinary capacity for innovation......creativity is as important as literacy and we should treat it with the same status....we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it...the purpose of schools is to produce university professors who live in their heads and only use their body as a form of transport for their heads to go to meetings......intelligence is distinct......Some people have to move to think.......hope for the future.....new conception of Human Ecology....rethink fundamental principals about how
we educate children....human imagination.....creative capacities.....educate the whole being....it's our job to help
them make something out of it. Do schools kill creativity? No But the word stifle does come to mind. Kids need so much more than to sit at their desks and listen to a teacher talk. In fact that's what they don't need. Providing innovative presentations using the internet and hands-on activities for students to work together using real world situations will inspire students and promote creativity.
