Creativity Part 2

So we all watched that video about how education destroys creativity. It’s true it does. But it is needed. It’s a good idea allowing kids to follow their own paths but it isn’t practical. Creativity needs to be hampered it needs to be destroyed or else we would all be screwed.

When a baby is born into the world its brain is firing off neurons left right and centre. Over the next few years and through early school life its brain will disable certain neurons and choose which ones to keep. I watched a program recently about talented and creative young people. They were crafted through early life by their parents to be excellent mathematicians, excellent musicians ECT. Kids starved of early life stimuli do badly at school, because their brain has not developed properly.

It would be excellent if we taught different kids different things, encourage them to follow their own paths but if we did that the world would be a complete mess. How are we meant to know which kids excel at which subjects before they are old enough to show off their flares? We have to teach them everything, a wide range of subjects, so later in life they can follow the path they choose. What if we give children a limited education and let them go their own way. They would all want to do what they considered fun, they’re kids. Destroying creativity is an essential part of life. We have to do it so that society can work we have no choice in the matter! If kids don’t know everything how are they meant to choose between things in later life.
