In the talk “The Importance of Creativity” it is apparent that there are more significant elements to the school system than just learning math, science, and language arts. There are many facets that make up the learning process. For educators to only focus on a few main components would be absurd. It is vitally important to develop all parts of the human brain; so it only makes sense that school subjects would consist of more than just science and math.
It has been said multiple times that it is a respected quality in a person to be well-rounded. Educators should provide their students with a more pertinent well-rounded education as well. Creativity in the classrooms should be something that is brought into a better focus. Without teaching students’ personality and bringing into light what they actually are made of; what are we really offering to them?

  1. Any thoughts as to how to get creativity valued as much as test scores on math and other testable subjects? I agree, but what do we do?
