Creativity

If we look at the actual education system we can find out that our children are learning the same subjects around the world, we can find that maths, language, science are still the main subjects on school. Ken Robinson says on the website ted.com that "We are educating people out of their creativity”, he is right about it. We are educating our children away from all the things that can improve their creativity, as Robinson says they are been educated to become good workers and not to think for themselves. We should give them the tool to encourage their curiosity to learn something more that only those subjects that they learn at school.

I personally agree that schools are killing creativity because as I said before they are more worried in teach them to be good students so in our future they can be good workers. Especially in Chilean school that have few opportunities to teach their students to be more creativity, in my case I Could said that I’m not a creative person but my brother is really creative. In my brother case I think that he is like that because since he was little we encouraged him to develop his imagination and it works he is incredible creative, I love his capacity to create new things. Part of his great creativity is the role that plays his school because he’s going to an artistic school so it is different from other ones because here they develop their creativity in different ways as with music, sculpture, painting, etc.

When I was at school they never let me to be myself, I mean, I get used to follow all the things that they said to me so I didn’t have the opportunity to be more creative or been myself. My teachers were more worried of pass the subject that cultivates our creativity and knowledge.

I think we have to encourage our pupils to be more creative because we all are born artist, the only thing we need it is support and someone to encourage us to be more creative.
