If a child is denied creativity, humanity or potential because of paperwork or status, it might be tragic for both the child and the greater society of humanity which transcends borders.

mrigal on 27 Jul 14Do you think extensive paperwork hinders teachers to prepare lessons to extract creativity from students?

It's a very inspiring idea that " art should be treated with the equivalent status to math".
-
The speaker, Kent Roberson, suggest that art should be integrated into the core curriculum. Do you believe technology courses should be added to the core curriculum as well and become a requirement for graduation? Why or why not?
-
I am not sure if it is the case everywhere, but I know at the district I am teaching at a technology credit is required for graduation. I remember taking a C++ class while a Senior at the high school in my district. Has it come in handy for me, do I even remember anything, no. I think it can't hurt to have it required even if it did not service to me. It at least got me comfortable with computers and increased my typing ability.

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

This speech suggests the education system should do more to nourish creativity in student.

Some believe creativity is as important as literacy because you can use creativity to solve problems. Kent Robinson's theory is interesting because he believes creativity is as important as the core curriculum, such as English. But it seems schools around the world are tossing creativity out the window. The video is about 19 minutes long but it's worth watching.
