I really enjoyed Sir Ken Robinson's speech on creativity. I believe he is right when he stated that creativity is just as important as literacy. Unfortunately, creativity is limited in today's classrooms. I loved his point of "If you aren't prepared to be wrong, nothing will be original." That is so true and it is sad that as we get older we are scared of being wrong. People don't want to look foolish in front of their peers.
We need to allow kids to have creative freedom. Kids need an outlet for their ideas and school could be the place for that creativity to come out. These students are our future and there needs to be a balance between standard learning practices and creativity.
