Schools are killing creativity


First of all, it was difficult for me to understand very well what Ken Robinson wanted to say but I'm going to talk about what I understood and what I think about the way schools are killing creativity.

I think school are killing creativity because most of the schools are teaching for university or for working. If a school wants all their students go to the university after school, they must to be good teaching all the contents which are in the curriculum. If that not happens the school is considered as a bad school, for that reason most of them is priority instruct and not educate. Also, I think this is the reason for what school are killing the creativity, as Ken Robingson said in the educational system that we have nowadays is better and more important to teach Math or Literature than art or music.

The fact that schools and teachers prefer to teach academic things instead of things that improve their abilities, could produce that children believe is not important to develop that kind of skills, they don't have to learn some things the society don't need and what is not neccesary for their future, in that way techers are teaching that the only way to be the best is learning and improving what the society is expecting they should develop, so finally they will do everything the society is expecting they do it and not what they want to do and what they want to be.
