How schools kills creativity

Sir Ken Robinson present about how schools kills creativity in a very interesting way. In other words, he manage to grab people's attention in all over twenty minutes of the presentation by telling jokes. According to Sir Ken Robinson these days students are educated to be a good workers rather than creators. Sir Ken said “Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.” children have a great ability in innovation because they are not afraid to make mistakes. According to Sir Ken if you're not prepared to be wrong you'll never come up with anything original. However, being wrong is not the same thing as being creative but you can't be creative unless you make some mistakes. These days we teach our children that being wrong is the worst thing ever and that kills creativity in them. Every single child in the world is an artist according to Picasso and if they're frighten to make mistake they won't be able to create anything, thus we're educating them out of their creative capacities as Sir Ken said. No doubt that what Sir Ken said is right and I totally agree with him. I think that the way that we are educating people these days is not right at all, because we are putting limits to their minds. In other words, we recruit people to be workers not creators and so people want their degrees just to get a good job. As a result, they get their job and that's it they do nothing, if we will push all people to study and get their degrees 50 years later degrees will have no value. Many people have talent but they think they're not as Sir Ken said “Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not — because the thing they were good at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized.”
