Sir Ken Robinson

Creativity is severely undermined in schools. Teachers prefer you to be academically talented so you can succeed in life. Although nothing is wrong with a teacher wanting the best for a student, Some students are creatively talented and do not get praised for it. Which is a shame because who knows where their creativity could take them. They are pushed by teachers to make A's and B's, when they try their best.
I also believe that creativity is as important as literacy in schools. But teachers attempt to do the right thing by making students keep their heads in their books. Teachers should pair lessons with creative activities. This way teachers can build upon students creative side.
