Short Responses to the Youtube Video "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"


Three ideas you agree with.
Two ideas that surprised you.
One idea that confused you or that you disagree with.
___________________________________________________________

1. Everybody is unique and extremely creative. Because of this our future circumstances are unpredictable.

2. The younger a person is the less frightened they are to be wrong. This is a likely cause as to why I feel less creative at the age of 21 than I did when I was 5 or 8.

3. The value of art and creativity is greatly unappreciated in public schools. The lack of support causes people to avoid careers in drama, music, and art.

1. I was surprised by the story of the student who was drawing God in class. I think she surprised the teacher with her response as well.

2. (I thought some of his jokes were funny and helped with his presentation.)

_____

1. Academic inflation. I understand what the speaker meant by the term; however, is it really a problem that higher degrees will award you a specific job? What is the real problem? Is it that schools teach us what the world already knows? Should college be more a journey and less like it is? A journey that allows students to participate in inquiry in a real environment instead of a virtual environment..?
