Creativity

Education is ment to take us into this future that we can't grasp because the future is so unpredictable but in order to survive we need creativity. Creativity now, is as important in education as literacy. Kids aren't afraid to be wrong because they don't care. All children are born artists but grow out of creativity rather than growing into it. Kids as they become adults began to become afraid of being wrong because of the education system which teachs kids that being wrong is bad but the truth is if people aren't willing to be wrong then they will never come up with anything original. In schools throughout the world, the education system is built in the same hierarchy where math, sciences, humanities and all of those core subjects are at the top and subjects such as art, music, and dance are all at the bottom. The arts are at the bottom of the hierarchy of education. The education system has formed are minds in a sense to not be creative and we should critically re-think how the education system works and how intelligence is viewed.
