I personally think that schools do kill creativity. I think that because we are not creating new and interesting out of the ordinary information. We just go to class for the same amount of time everyday and learn basically the same amount of time. The teachers don't drastically suprise us and take us on an interesting field trip out of school pertaining to the information in their class. We walk in to class with our books and sit down in our seats and listen to the same identical information over and over. We have ciriculums of learning that we must follow we have to have the required amount of math, science, and english each year to go to the next grade. Some people think differently so you have to creativly adjust to each persons strengths and weaknesses. What we can do is have many class opportunities in every school and let the students pick what they want learn about, not what the teachers are paid to teach us. We need stop being afraid of being wrong, just like Sir Ken Robinson said. We Americans are afraid to be wrong. It is very true because if you are sitting in class and answer the teacher wrongly they get mad and fuss at you for not paying attention in class. So then in the future we just don't raise our hands so we don't have to be afraid of being wrong. It is really the teachers fault because they didn't teach creatively enough to make it click in your brain for you to remember when the question is asked upon in the future.
