Schools Kill Creativity?

This video has been inspiring to me. Children truly are our future, and this talk has really captured our society today and highlights how we can change. Encouraging creativity through education can have major advantages for our future. Maybe that child who is opened up to his talents in painting will be inspired to make a living out of it - instead of feeling like he has no purpose in life and turning to a negative pathway of life?

I think this video helps to highlight the fact that we can work on community development, we can work on our economy, we can work on our environment, but to suppress our future leaders of their creative opportunities is criminal. We do not know what our future holds, so we have no right to dictate out children's lives and prepare them for a future which we are not even sure of ourselves.

A lasting thought... “Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs” John Fitzgerald Kennedy
