Ken Robison's Opinion about Schools that Kill Creativity

Education has become an important part in our life. Children, teenagers, or adults, everyone needs education to improve their quality of life. Skills, attitude, mentality, spirituality, characteristics, knowledge, habits, they are all grow through education.

On that video, Sir Ken Robinson from 'TED Talks' gave his opinions about schools kill creativity. I believe that he has his own thoughts about that statement. In my point of view, I would say that I agree with him.

There are several reasons why do I agree with him. Firstly, I really like the comment that mentioned on the video says; "if you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come out with anything original." I think that is true since if we are in schools, we forced to do something exactly right. Exams, assignments, exercises, all of them have to be good and reach the highest mark. I'm not saying that it is wrong. But to me, when people forced to be right, sometimes in their mind, they are afraid of being wrong. If this thing happens to the people continuously, day by day the creativity inside themselves will fade. Creativity needs spirit to express feelings, courage to do something, and idea to create something. 

Besides that, everyone has their own characteristics. Everyone has their own dream, what they want to be. I believe that everyone has their own talents. To me, schools kill our own dream, our own creativity. Schools everywhere have same hierarchy. We need to follow the rules, study all the subjects and try to get marks. What I'm trying to say is actually we do not have to be that way, but in fact we forced to be like that. According to me, if people do not like to learn mathematics, you cannot force them. Maybe they are not good at that subject, but they are good at others. Just let them do what they want. That is why schools should change the perceptions. I prefer to create a million of creative people rather than creating professors.

On the other hand, schools are actually have positive advantages. People learn a lot of things there, grow together, share ideas, create relations and so on. From those things, creativity is also can be created.

In conclusion, I agree with Sir Robinson that schools kill creativity, but I also believe that sometimes schools help people to be creative.
