Week 2. Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

  In my opinion, yes, they do. As a person who is still involved, I might say I agree with his opinion somehow. While schools are just categorizing children based on their age not their abilities, how can be any expectation of creativity?  making mistakes or being wrong meant to be a huge problem while educating at school. Children have to follow an education system which never let them think in their own way. Day after day they become frightened of making any mistakes, maybe cause of punishments. So they learn to be a follower rather than a creative, experimental and original one. While not everybody thinks the same, ideas are different and so must be their field of practicing creativity.
