Hello everyone, today's topic is,
"Do Schools Kill Creativity?". To get into this issue, we focus on
the presentation of Sir Ken Robinson, seen in class yesterday.
There are two points I found very
relevant. First, I thought was very important, given the importance that Sir
Ken Robinson on education, as a problematic that concerns us all, regardless of
our social status, education for all is an important issue. In my view,
education is treated today as "great way" to rise in society, is seen
as the way to be a part of progress, but this is a very biased view of
education, an education that does not allow working into something that
highlights our talents, education today is not focused on making good use of
the skills of individuals, is designed only to reproduce this model of society
in which we are part. Second, and not least, is the view that currently being
treated creativity as if it should govern only functional parameters for
"progress" and what is outside of it, the other instances in which
creativity takes part, such as dance, music, sports, takes no more relevant,
make him a simple hobby, a skill in which, with the proper guidance could do
well, and much better than just working on something, studying something, by
the mere fact of having workplace.
