The Creativity Crisis

I have recently read an article on the creativity crisis from Newsweek. The article made some very good points. It is true that there is a creativity crisis going on now. Not all schools pay attention to creativity. In fact, barely any school pay any attention to creativity. They always tell you to be creative in projects, but, they never really appreciate your creativity. I personally think they should start paying more attention to childrens' creativity. There is no value to creativity these days! I think that there should be more classes about creativity than just art and (if there is rogate) ROGATE. Creativity is a very important skill that everyone has no matter who they are. It brings out there individuality and true self. I felt pretty after I read these sentences in the article: "After my answer was translated, they just started laughing out loud," Plucker says. "They said, 'You're racing toward our old model. But we're racing toward your model, as fast as we can.'" This is a great example that shows how many people don't care about a child's creativity. Another example from the article is: "Overwhelmed by curriculum standards, American teachers warn there's no room in the day fro a creativity class." Well, I think there should be and they should make a class that involves creativity that every student has everyday. It is a great way for children to express their thoughts and creativity and uniqueness. Creativity can be taught. Even professors say so. I thought it couldn't be taught. It is something that has to come from the children' own mind is what I thought. But, apparently, it can be taught. So, I think that creativity should be taught if it is possible!
