:::..Creativity..:::

Since I was a child I loved to create new things, but then I started felling that school was killing my skills and it just was trying to transform me into someone who I was not. I really cannot tell you when that happend to me, but I have something inside of me that told me that someone stole my mind, my creativity.

For that, I absolutely agree with Ken Robinson when he said that schools kill creativity because schools do not allow students to think by themselves. Problems come when schools want their students to create very good things, however, educational system have not done anything to improve these "created skills" in their students.

Ken Robinson told us that school and all people who works in it, had to rethink their practices because reflection was a perfect way to get better the educational system. Robinson also said that education has to be taken seriously in order to develop creativity and knowledge.

One of another things that caught my attention was the fact that in school are creating workers and not people who wants to live their life as they want to. According to that, I come to the conclusion that schools are killing creativity, as Robinson told it, because instead of developing a creative thinking in students, schools are just giving to their children the tools that they need to be good workers but not creators of new and better things.

I really think that as future teachers have to be aware of our practices, all the time in order to not to fall into the same bad things that is reproducing every single day " our dear schools".

cheer all my classmates up!
