Does education kill creativity?

November 6, 2009 | By Paul Ryan

Did you feel like your creativity was really nurtured at school? Chances are, it wasn’t. In this great talk from the 2006 TED conference, British creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson argues that current education systems are geared to producing obedient worker drones rather than creative innovators. In contrast, he believes that educators should consider creativity as important as literacy when preparing young minds for a rapidly evolving future.

    What a ridiculous headline. What has education got to do with creativity? I believe true creativity cannot be killed by anything, let alone something as robotic and inane as what we call academic education.

    I believe education can often stifle creativity. In short, students can develop a particular mindset, which is imposed upon them by educators. They can then lose the ability to explore possibilities beyond this mindest.

    This blog article explains the same concept but from a different perspective.

    The education system is the backbone of a progressing society. It is the standard of education that determines an individual's and the country's progress. A typical educational system consists of Primary Schools, High Schools, Colleges and Higher education institutes. It is important to provide quality education at all levels in order to have sustainable growth and development.To improve the educational system, it is important that people are aware of the education issues and problems in the education system.

9 things a 9 month-old can teach you about online marketing [VIDEO]

This morning, I sat down with my 9-month old son, Julian, to feed him breakfast. This is one of the jobs allocated to me as a first-time, new father. Remembering the arduous steps required to complete yesterday morning’s meal (and the day before that), and contemplating how bizarre it is that I must work so hard to provide him something that will make him stronger and healthier and happier, I began to think about online marketing. Yes, the brain works in mysterious ways. (And I am kind of sleep deprived.)
