Creativity...In Danger

I found the Ted Talk and the Creativity Crisis very interesting and relate-able. Sir Ken Robinson brought up some very true topics that I never really thought about. As well as his points I've also been astonished with some of the things I read about in the Creativity Crisis paper(s). My favorite part of this entire learning experience was hearing the story about the girl that was getting checked for learning problems when really she was just a dancer (a.k.a) a bodily-kinestheticly learner. I mostly agree on everything that as been proposed. But in my personal opinion is that creativity in schools is endangered and something needs to be done to help it.

I agree with Sir Ken Robinson when he says that schools are killing creativity. In my personal experience I do believe it is a struggle to express ourselves and be creative in classes. For example whenever we have projects at school there are always super strict guidelines to follow. No room for creativity and individuality.  Also I do believe that creativity has been lost. Through the years subjects like Math and Language Arts are really all that are focused on. Of course they are important but so is creativity. Without creativity our future is in jeopardy.  By this I mean with out creativity being practiced and improved the next generation will not have any new or exciting technology. This is what I believe is going to happen if creativity isn't captured and saved now as well as enforced in the future.
Thanks for reading this and keep and eye out for more post from me:)  @Rice.Krissy.Treats
