The Importance of Creativity in Education
1 May
My friend posted this video on her blog. She and I share the same love and gratitude for our High School Creative Writing Teacher Mrs. Bean. I am so thankful I had the experience and privilge of having Creative Art teachers who allowed me to have free reign on my creativity in school. I was able to sculpt whatever I wanted, paint/draw whatever I was inspired to do and write whatever my heart felt. For that, I found happiness where I could have easily remained in tears. This video illustrates beautifully why it’s so important to allow our kids and even encourage our kids to be creative and energetic. It’s how they learn and become strong and independent minded individuals. It’s how they sculpt our future, their future, and their kids future. We should not hold them back from their potential:
Elementary, Jr. High, and High School education is one of the most vital parts of human development. It’s where are minds grow, it’s where we find who we are and where we’re going in life. It walks hand in hand with development in the home. As he explained with kids easily being diagnosed as ADHD, if children are both held back in school and in home – then their future is easily hopeless. But if one, home/school – sets the child free – they are trusted, they are loved and they are allowed to feel they can do and be whomever they wish – there is hope. The education system cannot bank on the child being creative at home. They should step forward and be that creative outlet first and foremost, because in doing so- the child will desire to be more, because they crave to be.
