Creativity in Children

I agree with Mr.Robinson's statement on stating that we need to get an education into this future which we cant seem to grasp. As he stated, creativity is just as important as literacy, but teachers and professors have lost sight of that. The education system has us on a thinking mind pattern because we do not know how important creativity really is. Most kids are curious and eager learners so it would not hurt anything for the schools to act more interested in creativity instead of placing the kids in time out every 2 or 3 hours.
Mr. Robinson also stated that children lose sight of creativity as they grow into adulthood and that is not good for children living in a country that is supposed to be "free". The little smart 6-year old girl was even smart enough to believe that God is going to come back one day and that we are living in our last days. That's not for me to say or create an opinion about but that drew a lot of interest to me. That's what you call "creative abiltity". She did not pay attention in the class, but she was an artist--an ability she won't ever get recognized for.
